Yeah don't worry about it, In Progress means you have AOR. I got my line 2 as "In Progress" then they updated it later by Inserting AOR in between "received" and "in progress" :)

Obviously if I am totally wrong, someone kick my arse and tell me otherwise!
Same here for one of the applicants in my application package

Any idea when will sep 2020 applicants start to get test invites? Experienced forum users? I know it's hard to predict, but any idea?

March 2020 applicants are just getting invites now. If online testing really starts rolling out more, then we could see tests in a shorter time frame. It's still hard to predict though. Looking at current IP-->Test invite dates we are probably looking at 3-4 months, but the samples are too small to accurately predict.

Yes, it appears many people in the March batch are receiving their test invites. It's that or they forgot to mention they are urgent processing. However, their timeline is synonymous with that of the average candidate.

We will likely find out more in the coming weeks. Hopefully this means we can see testing for late 2020 applicants by fall.

Thank you for the reply, I hope we get test invites soon

After I read on July 2020 thread that people who applied online in dec 2020 getting invites I called cic but as usual water of time they have no information just covid covid covid

It's really frustrating
December 2020 are getting test invites? Did I hear that right?
I think he meant either December 2020 submissions are getting AOR or December 2019 submissions are getting Test invites.

About 5 December 2020 Online applicants got a test invite. It's quite strange, but absolutely true if the people who posted are to be believed. Here's a link to my post where I have referenced 4 of those who have posted in the Dec 2020 thread.

Would it be a good idea to cancel our application and apply online or it's too late for that now?
The online applications seem to be moving much faster.

Nothing is on my ECAS except the 2 lines: received on September 21st and in Process February 17th, but when I called IRCC they told me that there was a glitch and the AOR was cancelled, but it was supposed to be sent on January 19th I believe.
Hi, may I ask you, when you were able to see your application in ECAS?
