Sounds like something is wrong. Try the call centre, they should have a record of your application; if they do not, it likely means it was returned.

You can also try your MP's office.

Called Call center before , they told me application was received on 22 Sep, 2021. The application is still considered a prospective file and is currently being checked for completeness and will be in queue after passing this. As I applied online it would say on the system if returned. The status shows submission date. That's it !
I contacted MP also, they gave me the same answer.

How long ago was it that you called? Again, you should have got something back before now.

Online inland too. It will be six month this month and no AOR yet. Very frustrating to see lots of people who are also online inland and submitted much later than me getting AOR.

This is insane. Especially because she needs her WP!!! I have received an email of IRCC acknowledging I'm the sponsor. How come no AOR yet?!?!?! I think we'll apply for her WP and see what happens... Her visitor visa is ending and will have to be extended before even getting a WP... Insane

We haven't even received that. Nothing.

And we applied online thinking it would make things faster!!! Now we pay dearly...
Agreed. I wish we had applied on paper. That way we could have submitted the OWP application at the same time.
I thought online would be easier, but now even if we get AOR soon, applying and getting the OWP would take even longer due to the separate processing time.

I'm just baffled... It blows my mind to think that my wife will have to extend her visitor visa and we still haven't received an AOR therefore haven't even applied for OWP... to get her visitor visa we paid twice. One through the old way that would take forever and a second time through the new way that is fast. This suggested that a new online way of applying for the sponsorship would be fast.... Now this .... It's unbelievable... My PR card came with wrong picture as well... Nothing works and you never know what's going to happen....
