So if no one from May 2021has received the AOR yet, that means the AOR is taking more than two and a half months now, right ?

It looks like getting the AOR used to take around two months or less, earlier this year. So this is getting worse ?

I don't think anyone can have a reliable answer for that! When I applied, I looked at the spreadsheet for Dec 2020 applicants and it looked like online applications were proceeding more quickly, and I also didn't wanna go through the hassle of sending a paper application and the stress of missing something. So I decided to apply online.

If I could go back, I don't know if I'd do the same again! Looking at Jan 2021 applicants, those who applied online are just starting to get their AORs, but paper applications are getting test invites. So I think right now at least, paper applications are proceeding faster and online processing is slow, but there's no way to know whether that'll change or not.
Appreciated your feedback on it. Yeah I have decided to apply via paper route.

do you need to cancel online application? i guess we are not allowed to have two active applications at the same time?
