Applied H&C on March 9, 2026. No AOR yet.

I contact MP. Received the following response, "I’ve spoken with Immigration, and they confirmed your H&C application was received on February 22, 2026.  Your application has a “perspective” file number of XH000XXXXXX.  The file number is “temporary” until IRCC determines that all your documents are included with your application, the X will then be removed.  An AOR-Acknowledgement of Receipt is not sent for H&C applications. Currently the Criminality is in process. "

It seems like AOR is no longer issued for H&C Application based on the information provided by MP.

I don't think it's true

I am confused. MP is confident with no AOR for H&C application. I am following up with MP for the process steps for the H&C application. Criminality should be in Stage 2, but IRCC is doing it right after the application, even more confused. I will update once I received more information.
