Lack of transparency driving everybody nuts..
It definitely is. At least if they put it into the system when they got it you'd have some assurance. But to wait so long for the AOR is crazy.
It should be all done online too. I'm able to get a passport from Ireland for my daughter in 2 weeks and it's all done through a website!

I don’t think it’s too big of a problem. We are humans, we make mistakes. Is it already in DM? If it is you are good. If you are really worried, update that via webform. Don’t worry. The mistake is extremely insignificant to have any fundamental impact on the whole application.
Thanks for responding @BadGamer6

This is the what I see on ecas:

  1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on October 21, 2021.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on October 21, 2021.
  3. We started processing your application on October 21, 2021.
It's an urgent request, I hope they do not nit pick this typo, and if I inform them via webform, I am afraid it may delay my application.

Before you open your application, does it say “In Process” or “Decision Made”? I would highly suggest you to link your application on gckey and see the details there. It gives you a better insight of your application.

im sorry but I couldn't find the option "choose link an application" after I logged in.
There should be a button says this: "Did you apply on paper or don't see your online application in your account? Add (link) your application to your account to access it and check your status online."
