Can someone explain to me how some people got their background completed and a test invite after only one month of submitting their application? I mean is it because their application straight forward or just random luck?
Many of the December applications done with the background check / received an invitation to the test.

For Paper Applicants waiting for AOR - I called into IRCC today just before 4 PM. On the phone the automated message mentioned that applications that have been received prior to Jan 14th 2023 are being processed. I still stayed on the call for the Agent and the Agent confirmed to me that they are processing applications received till Dec 7th 2022 and my application which was received on Jan 31st 2023 is still not in the system.

I was able to confirm that they have my right email address on file. So not a total waste. Hope it helps other folks looking at this thread more than it did to me :)

IRCC lines are always clogged. Just wait and wait. It is less than 1 year, so no point in calling.

Hi All,

My paper application was delivered around Jan 11th but I have not received AOR yet. I am curious if any other paper applicant is waiting with similar timelines is waiting for AOR too? And what could be cause of delay?

Thanks

Paper applications take around 60 days for AOR after delivery... AOR for online applications are around 10 days
