No e-mail. But first good sign is cashed money order. Second, I am not sure if it works, but I see this option now. You can try logging into: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/?app=ecas&lang=en. You don't know your immigration file number, but if you work or study in Canada, you have Client ID. The point is that the first record was done there in my case on Sep 15, but AOR was mailed later on Sep 21. However, I have heart that Client Application Status online is updated not every day... Good luck!
