If you applied online, I guess the file number you received is a temporary number. Because there are still many other applications applied by paper that have not receive their AOR letters.
No, its AOR I believe, because I got email to link my application with GCkey account within 7 days, I also got Biometric request for my Spouse, so this is the AOR I believe.

I think you may need to wait a couple of days.
hope you get that right

Hello All, I hope you are doing well.
I applied for a work permit for SUV.
Today I noticed that the optional document (IMM5802 Offer of Employment to a Foreign National LMIA-Exempt) has been added to my supporting document list and indicated as required.
So, can you please check your account to see if this has been added to your supporting documents list too?
Kindly note that I uploaded that form in the optional document section during applying for the visa online.
Thanks!
Iman

My consultant told me there ISN'T an online portal for SUV applicants, so applying through paper is the only way for the SUV program. Is it correct?
This changed in 2021. From September 2021 until now SUV applicants can send their application both paper-based and online. And from what I see, I conclude that the IRCC prefers online applications. Some lawyers still prefer paper because it allows them to include as many documents as they want to create a strong case, because online they don't have much freedom to upload (for file size limit and quantity)

Hi friends, is the long delay in landing time of a member who already got approved WP will effect to SUV 's 'processing time? anyone has experience on this please share with many thanks in advance... this WP is applied under SUV.
Dont think it will affect the processing time, since currently the applications are being processed serially. But when your file is picked up, they may ask you the business progress. Since you received a WP, they may specifically expect you to show progress in the Canadian business. Your incubator/ fund can suggest you more on what you can do. Also, I recommend doing a soft landing in Canada if you have been approved. Go to Canada temporarily, do your landing formalities and get your WP issued. Again, take the advise of your incubator / fund on this. Hope this helps!

Having a AOR doesn't change much in terms of speeding the process. Even if online applications got AOR sooner than paper-based applications they need to wait in the queue.
Yes possibly. All online applications (including EE, WP, etc) get AOR immediately and request for biometric. But then they just get added to the queue, so it maybe pretty much the same.
