They can not speed up your application but check the status of the application on your behalf. So you don't need to try to call IRCC in the morning.
No, it doesn’t have any effect but you get the right details when they contact

- Linked to GCKEY- June 29th- Called IRCC today, they said the file moved from TFN and the application number is now permanent. He also said an agent has been working on the application for five days now.. that's all the update he had.
I am in the same boat. I have sent the documents in May and still no change.
Based on conversations with IRCC earlier this year, and given that you were only able to link in May and also received an AOR in May, the answer is that nothing at all was happening until May, 2022. Typically (not always, but mostly) being able to link &/or receiving an AOR is just the start of processing. Many people are still waiting for even that to start. Up until then, your application has been in the original 'special' TR to PR Pathway application portal or cloud (where we all applied in 2021) waiting to be drawn down, have a TFN applied while they check to see if your file is basically complete (this is not the detailed review or application processing -- which is why sometimes medicals are initially passed because a medical is in the file, and then later a new medical is requested when they start doing the more detailed review and see that it has expired, or whatever). Then, they change the TFN (temporary file number) to a formal Application Number (when they load your file into the GCMS) which then allows you to link to your account were you can 'see' your application status (finally). Frustrating, I know, but a reflection of a new process & lots of unforeseen circumstances. The good news is that this pathway has had very few rejections and generally has been quite forgiving with all of the mistakes people made in their hurry to apply. They have allowed people to submit corrections with explanations and documents that were completely missed in the actual application.
That means they have actually 'started' processing your file! ;-) It can go fast from here, but usually still several months away from COPR. The mere fact that you were able to link means that you now have an 'official' Application Number (not just a TFN - temporary file number) and often an AOR document follows within a day or two of linking. However, sometimes you might just get an email stating that your application has started being processed and you don't get anything that actually says the exact words AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt). Don't worry about the exact wording.

You can wait until they ask for more information or/& submit whatever of the following that you can collect. You might not need to have every pay stub if your pay stubs show cumulative totals for the period/s -- showing the total hours to the end of a particular year or up to the time you applied to TR to PR (not all pay stubs are cumulative but many are). You already have Records of Employment, T4s & Notice of Assessments, which is good. Do you have a letter of offer with your title/position/duties from when they hired you, and/or a job description detailing your duties in that role? Perhaps you have a hiring ad or job description from when they posted for your position which details the duties? Failing that, is there a current job description or current hiring ad that details the activities of the position that you used to have with them? Submit what you can collect in an organized way with another letter of explanation that your previous employer was uncooperative and that you are making your best effort to make sure IRCC has what they need to process you application. Make sure that you clearly state what supports the 'A' NOC or the 'B' NOC -- make it easy for them to understand what you are submitting. You may have already done enough but I would look for something that confirms your duties beyond just what you have said already, if its available. Best wishes.
To be honest, I feel better knowing that they have started. I am already here in Canada working so I will just wait patiently. I am just happy that I am here in Canada making a better life for my family
