AOR2 is email but many VO don't send it, a confirm way to know if you have AOR2 or not is to check for Line number 2 under PA's ECAS, if it says "We started processing on XX/XX/XXXX" that's your AOR2.
You can use the Temp numner without the X or your Payment Receipt number, the status will only show in ECAS if your file is already in system and AOR is a few days away
