Post further questions under self employment threads. Yes, it is normal. Processing is about 43 months. What is your NOC? This is the smallest stream that only selects a under 1000 per year.

This is not normal. An AOR is the visa application intake office saying they've received your application. It shouldn't take a year for them to say, "Thank you, the mailman came the other day and we've got your application".

You need to chase this up as soon as possible, it may have been delivered and misplaced at their offices (covid issues screwed up a lot of applications) or it may have never been recieved at all.

Hopefully you sent it via some form of tracked postage if you applied on paper. If you applied online then you should have an email confirming receipt.

A year is most definitely not a normal amount of time to be waiting to hear back that they've received your application.
