Hello everyone, I applied for group 5 in May 2024 and after receiving the confirmation message for 20+ months there has been no further messages from them, I haven't received my AOR. Is this normal or something went wrong?

Could you attach a copy of the confirmation letter without any identifying information? That may be the AOR.
 
The confirmation letter was like this

THIS IS AN AUTOMATED MESSAGE. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL.

I'm in the same boat as you, applied in june 2024 (G5) and haven't yet received any AOR or G number, i wonder why. I've heard about cases that received their G number after 18 month but i haven't received mine so far. I can only think about that my application went to the backlog which take ages

Hopefully not although that's a possible case cause some people I know who started after me have already got their G numbers. But they also send in 2 years or ur birth date. Anyway where do you live?
 
There are huge backlogs when it comes to private sponsorship and a reduced quotas so the whole system has slowed down and processing times a very long. As long as processing times are similar to others then I wouldn’t worry.
 
No, 20 months is not so normal. kindly submit a web form if possible.
I received AOR after 6 months.

When you applied and from where can have a big impact on processing time. Processing times have increased dramatically especially at some locations. No harm in sending the webform though.
