Same dates as yours, I received the email yesterday. Test is between March 24th and April 13th. So as long as you receive it before 24th, which you will, you should be fine.

I checked the Canada website to see the AORs that are being sent out, it is now passed the applications that got delivered on Feb. 2nd. Should I worry or not? Or it’s still going through other phase before consideration?

Hey, a friend of mine got his AOR today and he sent his paper application in the 1st week of Feb as well (probably same date) Give it until end of next week, I think you should get your AOR.

What we’re you missing and was the first application on line?

Apparently, you cannot have a PR Card and Passport as proof. You need to only have either and one additional ID proof.. while their documentation says a passport can be one of the proofs. Well, very unclear instructions by them. It was a paper application, but I called CIC and confirmed I could apply online.. so I chose that so I could get an answer in 2 weeks rather than 2 months.

You will receive soon. Relax bro. I suggest you to take a break and do not spend too much time here. Sometimes it makes you more frustrated.
