Welcome to FlyerTalk and the Starwood forum, sjssjs. I moved your query into the master thread for the topic. I've pulled out a couple recent experiences from this thread for you:

William also confirmed to me in around 2007 that there are NO flush (speed-up) option for Aeroplan.

I'm rather disappointed with this as I just needed to top up with a few extra miles to get a reward flight, but due to Starwood's tardiness it looks like I'm going to just have to purchase the flight, so doing the transfer was a waste of time.

I'm assuming the problem is at the SPG end, since when I have done Amex->Aeroplan transfers in the past, the points have always arrived within about 48 hours.
