Mine was received on October 16th and I still haven't received AOR. It seems that they are lot of issues for applications received around this date.
I don't think it's lost but it should be waiting in a pile of applications somewhere.
It's a shame that as an administration they are unable to open the applications in order. Seems to me like the most basic thing while processing requests. First In First Out. Instead applications sent 2 months after are opened before. They are very disorganized.
In process does not mean background check has been done. It only means that your file has now been transferred to a local CPC located close to your home address, and background, eligibility, criminality etc checks will now start on your file. Your file won't be returned for incompleteness, but can be rejected or become non-routine should any of the checks fail. IRCC can contact you to provide more information, should it be needed.
cic head office in Sydney checks that all the REQUIRED docs are there and there is no missing info, then they send the AOR.
In Process stage means that your local office has received your application and the first thing they do the background check and they might ask for further docs.
I am also mildly infuriated to see that other October applicants are receiving test invites while I am still waiting for the IP.
Most likely you will not receive the invite via the email, but through the regular mail. By now, as almost Canadian, you already know how much time takes for Canada Post to deliver the regular letter.

Same here, delivered on Oct 16th. For some reason, as you mentioned, they are not processing them in order. It's really annoying that people who submitted earlier are the ones being delayed.
