Hi, just checking if you've received your AOR or seen any progress on your application. I submitted mine in July 2026 and haven't received an AOR yet. According to the latest IRCC update, they're already sending AORs for applications received up to September 23, 2026, which is well past our submission dates. Just wondering if others are in the same boat or if I'm an exception. Would appreciate an update on your status. Thanks!

You should be able to create Tracker now. I was able to link it this morning.
Yeah, I'm not sure how they jumped from July 21 to September 23 in just 10 days. The previous update on their portal indicated that they were processing applications received up to July 21, and the very next update showed September 23. 
From what I've seen in the discussions on this forum, it seems that applicants who submitted during the first week of July were only starting to receive their AORs last week. So I'm not sure how accurately the dates on IRCC's portal reflect the actual progress.

July 14 no AOR -
According to the latest updates, they are issuing AORs now. When should I expect to receive mine?

Update: Test Invite received - November 10, 2026
Based on how the progress is, I believe you should be closer. Probably expect between this week to next. I know it is frustrating!
No you are wrong. They are processing those submissions that are filed up to Sep 23. It is not submission date but filing date. After you make tracker you can see that another date is associated with every file which is filing date which is normally some months after submission. Now they are issuing AOR for submissions of first half of July when most of them have been filed to start processing on September.
This could be the most closest possible explanation floating around AORs.
But, the IRCC website clearly states -
We’re now sending AOR letters or emails for paper and online applications received the week of September 23, 2026.
The definition of received is stated as -
We receive your application right after you submit it.
- You immediately get an email that confirms you’ve successfully submitted your application

This make sense.
That might be reason status changed to “import to gcms” or uploadedtogcmsstatus as “True”.
But at same time not sure why some from October applicants got AOR.
