The applicant has not received the AOR since March 7th. I don’t know who my application has been assigned to. Why is it so delayed?

I know that it can be stressful not to have any answers (who hasn't at one point or another when dealing with IRCC?), but you are only 19 days in for a process that will take about 7 months (maybe more, maybe less, who knows). It's too early to stress yourself out. I encourage you wait another week to see if you receive any information. Don't let this take over your life because your mental health is important too. I am just sharing friendly advice, you are free to take it or not. Either way, I wish you luck.

Don't worry, I'm noticing that March AORs are taking a longer time than average compared to those who submitted their applications in Jan/Feb 2025. The IRCC website says they're processing AORs for applications received in the week of Feb 28th, so technically, you can't even call IRCC and ask them about the delay because they'll say to you that there isn't one.

The average time for AOR in the last few months was 2 weeks. It seems to be hovering around 3 weeks now. I submitted mine on March 13th, and I think I'll receive my AOR in April.

Thank you for sharing. Dealing with ircc is really like opening a blind box! And this process takes a lot longer!

Is that test inviting coming from Scarborough? If you don’t know how to check then please check test email. Does that say SCR?

I received the email, but some information is missing! The actual number of days of residence is inaccurate and the language certificate does not meet the requirements.
