No, your timeline is normal.

Friends, could you please let me know what is wtritten in your AORs?

This confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada has been received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on YYYY/MM/DD

or

This confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on YYYY/MM/DD on behalf of the following member(s):
xxxxxx XXXXXX

got my new AOR and it has first wording

I agree with @ryester, that wording sounds like the first is directed at the PA and the second is directed at the sponsor. You mentioned that you are a representative for your PA, so is it possible you're just receiving mail for both parties? (To also answer your question, my AOR had the second wording, and I am the sponsor and never filled out the part to be a representative.)

Anybody got AOR 2?
Which office has sent it ?

Here's a sample of an AOR2 that was posted in another thread: https://imgur.com/a/fjKRY

Hi guys!

What is stated in the email you guys have received in your SA?

Here is an example posted in another thread (can't find the actual thread itself at the moment): https://imgur.com/a/P0yOD

I think you're after this:

I've seen conflicting information with regards to AOR2, the image they link to just show's them informing you that your application has been sent to your local VO. Some, but not all it seems get an email confirming receipt by the local VO (This is actual AOR2).

In that thread there's a link showing how ECAS looks when the local VO starts to process your application:

Thanks @JoshC! That's the one. I also had a vague feeling I was missing a step, since that letter just states it's about to be transferred, and doesn't confirm receipt. I do get the impression that some of these steps have changed since the transfer to Sydney (and perhaps some changing/simplifying of forms?), so it's always hard to read the tea leaves on these things.

Agreed, it seems AOR2 didn't use to be a thing from what I've read. This may highlight the reason why nobody can agree on what actually constitutes AOR2.

Some people receive the initial 'we've transferred your application to xxxxxx visa office' and then don't get an email showing it's been received, whilst others do not get any emails until their local VO confirms they have it.

In reference to the email you receive from the local VO:

The whole process seems messy... there's people from October still behind people in December.

I believe the biometric request letter states:

What you need to do next:
You need to take this letter with you and go in person to any biometric collection service point to have your fingerprints and photograph taken.

So it looks like they'll take photos there on the day.

I believe the biometric request letter states:

oh thanks. I thought we have to bring it. thanks for clarifying
