Thanks :). So mine just says application received as per this link.
ECAS will show application received until around the time when Background Check is complete. At which time it will change to "In Progress". It is the old way to track progress and is less fine grained. You can monitor both since you are an online applicant. Online applicants only have access to the new tracker

So it means they started processing before sending AOR? it could be but doesn’t seem like the usual eh
Its the same for me as well. Today i got an email again confirming that my application was put in the system on 21st sept but my AOR is Oct 20th.

I'm also still not able to register. I'm putting an issue with the new webform (with just the last 7 digits after C00 and also explaining that issue in the description).
I got the following email today, I think as a result of that ticket, but still get the error when I try to create the account on the tracker.. I guess I'll need to submit another ticket.

Follow the progress of your citizenship grant application with the Citizenship Application Tracker
Dear Client,

Thank you for submitting your application for a grant of Canadian citizenship. Your application was created in our system on October 17, 2022 and is currently in progress.


You can now follow the progress of your application with our Citizenship Application Tracker.

The Citizenship Application Tracker allows you to check:

  • your application status;
  • any next steps you need to take;
  • our progress with your application;
  • a timeline of your citizenship grant application history.
To create an account, you need:

  • your unique client identifier (UCI);
  • your application number;
  • access to the email address in your application.
If you provided your representative’s email address in your application, they’ll check your status for you.

We look forward to welcoming you as a Canadian citizen.

Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

On the bright side, the webform seems to accept the C00******* application number format now.. [NVM, that was because I hadn't selected "Grant" from the application type dropdown..]

Too early to see any progress early
I wouldn’t expect anything this year to be honest

processing time is 25 months
Yeah true that. I saw someone from March 2022 got a test invite this month so I can imagine how behind they are.
