I'm an Admin at my univeristy and we started receiving support tickets about user not reciving email notifications even though their notification settings (global and individual course) turned on.
Has anyone else been getting similar reports?
I would suggest checking with folks on your IS team about any filter that may be blocking.
The difference is: Are the emails being sent by Canvas? If yes, why are they not being received by your district?
You can Check to see if email notifications are being sent.
I have had this with specific users here and there in the past. We have outlook and sometimes they are getting notifications to their "Other" folder instead of their "Focused" folder. Other times they may have accidentally marked a Canvas email as junk or spam, or something similar to block -- in this case they need to add instructure as Safe.
If you have MANY users reporting this -- perhaps check if Instructure has been blocked by some filter?
P.S. As an Admin you can Check to see if email notifications are being sent. See if any of these guides are helpful:

How can I delete complete calendars for courses already past? As a teacher I am not able to look at or update the calendar for my next course, but if I change to the student view it shows the calendar just fine. I assume this is because CANVAS selects only the first 10 calendars to show, and I am sure I am beyond that…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
