AD review can vary from application to application. For me, AD changed review after 11 days I think. Anyone who gets ADR, they also get instructions on where/how to upload the documents. Typically, there are two options, 1 - GCkey, 2 - Email to VO. Can choose any option, but I preferred GCkey - the text after upload/submit at GCkeys turn green. For email, the subject line has to be per ADR instruction. For instance, <NAME> <APP> <Number> <VO Code>. VO code so that AD is directed to the officer who requested the ADR.

After submitting either thru GCkey or Email - wait for a days or so and then call the IRCC help desk and ask if the AD is received or not. For me, I uploaded thru GCkey and after calling them to verify, they said they don't see any documents received on their system against the AD. I don't know if it's glitch or some issue on their system, or that AD upload registers after days.. in GCkey account, I can clearly see the documents uploaded, text turn green (submit & sign at last page) and I know I submitted the docs right, I took screenshots on every steps. Anyhow, the agent asked whether I emailed or not, I said as per the instructions, the letter clearly say choose any one option (gckey or email), but not both, so upload on gckey account only. Agent then advised to email, coz apparently they don't see the docs for some reason. So upload the doc via email as well.

So whether you should send gckey or email - choose anyone and then just call them to verify. If they confirm they have the docs for ADR, you then just wait for the next update.
I called them but they said we can’t see any kind of update or documents for now. The person on the phone, she said she doesn’t have access to check the emails. The person incharge for this file can check that. Once he will check it, he will update them manually. She also suggested to upload them. Should i upload the documents or should i wait? Thank you for your help!

In your gckey account, if it still allows for doc submission, then you can.
 
I was wondering if IRCC gives a sh*t about non-EE applications these days at all? I've submitted mine on June 5th and no AOR yet

It's the season for when public servants go on their holidays, we've got to be patient until July passes unfortunately.
 
Ok, thank you for your advice. The new address is within the same province I was nominated.
Do you know if I will be required to provide any proof of address?

Servants will be back after July, then another batch of them will go on vacation in August. So, it seems in winter :D

Yes, it is (always) better if you provide with one (as supporting doc proof) rather than they asking explicitly later if needed.

Edit*: Just to add more info, if you don't have proof handy, you still update them and put note that you have applied for address updating and will provide with one when available.

I created an EOI for the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker, but since I've been working remotely from Ottawa for the last 4 years, I stated that the city where I would be working would be Ottawa.

However, I didn't notice that my Job Offer letter states that the office and work location is in Toronto (the Ottawa office, where I usually reported to, closed down in February this year).

I have been invited to apply for the stream, but I cannot change the location of work. I have sent an email to ontarionominee@ontario.ca on June 16th, with form 009-0161E requesting that the location of work to be changed to Toronto on my application. However, since these things take time, I had to submit my application to stay within the 14 days window, and paid the $1500 fee - which is actually $2000 if the job is in Toronto. I haven't heard back from them or received any kind of confirmation that they received the form 009-0161E ever since.

Is this going to be a problem? I should have enough points for the stream even if I lose the 3 points of having the job being in Toronto. So will this just be a matter of having my application updated and paying the missing $500?
