Yeah, unfortunately I haven't gone that route so I can't give you concrete advice on your chances. You could try - but as you've stated, your goal is to get to Canada and working before the 12 months. That's precisely what CIC doesn't want to see. At this point, you could apply and see what...

So WHV first the spousal doesn't matter if you're already married, because as soon as you're married and applying for anything other than a spousal PR, CIC looks at any application like you're trying to get into Canada by any means necessary. You'll find plenty of threads on here of spouses...

Applying for a WHV is not proof of intent to return - it's proof that you are using whichever visa you can find to get yourself to Canada. That's not a good evidence of planning to move. You can certainly apply for a WHV but if you submit the spousal sponsorship first, you will likely not be...

I'll agree with @canuck_in_uk, this is hard to read without sentences and paragraphs. If you did not have a full marriage as is custom in your country, CIC will be concerned that your relationship is not real. You will need to attach a letter of explanation saying why you did not have the full...

Sometime around March 2019, give or take a few months. Have a cup of tea.

A procedural fairness letter is different from a pre-arrival services letter. Big difference. Procedural fairness letter indicates that CIC is going to deny your application unless you provide additional proof. Pre-arrival services is an automatic message that everyone gets.

12 months is the target for 80% of applications. There will be some that are faster, and some that take longer. If your family is visa-exempt, you can attempt to come to Canada and wait. However, be aware that there may be concerns from CBSA if you appear to be settling in Canada prior to...

With your AOR you should receive your client number - your UCI. That number makes linking easier. You can try to link your application earlier with passport details or payment receipts, but the UCI is easier .

It can also take three months to get AOR. Don't panic yet.

Once your medical is complete, your background check begins. It can take a little while - I encourage a cup of tea!

There are people who get married and wait two or more years to bring their spouse to the country, and you're upset about booking a flight before checking visa requirements, despite Air Canada and the Government of Canada's warnings. I fear your privilege is showing, my friend. Best of luck with...

Then how could you expect Air Canada to be more proactive? The government of Canada tells you not to purchase tickets before having a visa. I get you think it's unfair, sure, but once you're in Canadian territory you're protected by Canadian laws, including rights to fair process, travel, etc...

It's a pretty awesome program, and I hope it continues as well. I'm sort of counting on it! I believe that the OWPs are approved, typically, for two years.

People do get the pre-arrival services email at different points in their application. If your husband is now submitting the proof-of-return documents, CIC will take some time to review them and decide whether or not to accept. I hope you get PPR soon, as well, but do be prepared to wait just a...

The OWP and the PR application are processed separately. This issue with your medical should not affect the processing of your PR. The notarized letter acknowledging that you will never be able to sponsor your children is the best route - it is what CIC would ask for, and it seems like you've...

Not a lot of doctors do the blood tests and x-rays themselves. You typically get a referral to an x-ray and medical imaging lab. It's normal to need to go to another location, or another office, to do that.

If you stopped studying, you are no longer in status as of when you stopped studying. You're not eligible for an OWP.

...plus any country specific forms.

Certainly do mail the document, but if you telephone the Ottawa office you may be able to understand what's up preventing you from linking your application - there's every chance someone typed a name wrong and that's why you cannot link it, or something similar.

It's an estimate. Don't consider that to be a timeline.
