Guys, does receiving Sponsor Approval and Biometrics letter means that the application is pretty much approved? And the only stuff left to do is medicals and biometrics?

I'm March 16 applicant

Got a temp file (XFxxxxxxxxx) from my local MP in end of August, I called IRCC last Friday, the agent said my application package was received on March 16, it was process on Aug 7 and now waiting Visa Officer to review. I still Can't view the status by removing X infront of my file number on ECAS/ECKEY.

Anyone here from March that was unable to get a temporary number?

We have called twice and they're telling us that the file is not in the system yet and they can't tell us anything. Now April, May, and June applicants have started receiving AORs so we're a bit concerned. At this point, we just want to know if they even received our file, or is it lost?! The file was delivered on March 25th via XpressPost (Canada Post) as per tracking info but was not signed for.
Hmmmmmmmm this is very frustrating, but I can tell you that your application is not missing they have it and they are just playing around you they did that to me for 10months whilst my fellow applicants were getting updates, I keep calling and sending webform every day, they keep saying the same thing that my file is not in their system, then where could it be after 10months before covid.
They returned it because I didn't add my travel history file to it after 10- 11 months.
Sorry it shall be well ok, don't they have it maybe one officers is going through.

Just want to give some hope for the people who have not received AOR1 yet.

Couple of weeks ago I had called IRCC asking about my file as at that time we had not received AOR either. The rep told me that receiving AOR does not make your file move faster than other people. They try to process the application in 1 year time frame. So, regardless you get AOR right now or later they will process the application in a year.

Just received the AOR 1 guys. The application received date is April 9, 2020. PA is from India. 28th Oct is our first wedding anniversary. By God's grace, we've got this as a sweet blessing.
Congrats, march 25th applicant, not even a single word from them till now

Hopefully, you guys will get AOR1s and SA together.

It is something I noticed from the tracker. Prior applicants had to wait for SA for 2-3 months sometimes, that does not seem to be the case for a lot of March 2020 applicants. So perhaps you will get all of that process done together to make up for this lost time.
Hope what you said is true!. March 19th Applicant here and still not a single response.

I have already lost it! To the point where I have no words left to assure my spouse. She knows there is only so much we can do. But this exact feeling of ‘helplessness’ is what is getting on to my nerves.
i hope none of our documents gets return for some "stupid reason like a missing zipcode!"

Have any of you tried log-in with GCKey and manage to go to the profile page? I keep getting routed back to Home main page! I even cleared my cookies, still the same.

Lots of Progress made guys this month. Just hang on. We even have a June AOR now. Hopefully March applicants have been cleared and it is just a matter of sending out the AOR email. Pace has definitely picked up.
