That's why I said "usually" :p alhamdulillah things were easy for you
I hope you will get news very soon! 15 months is so long!!!
In which step of the process are you stuck?
Did your husband get an interview? Or not yet.
Did you make everything upfront?

Is strange how long they take but I find it strange that I got two replies from cic one since 2 weeks and another yesterday was both saying that :

Hi all please I need your advise.
my application took so long
i am Canadian citizen lives in Canada , my husband lives in cairo
i am sponsoring him our application was processing on Feb 2015 .
few days ago my husband received the first email from cairo embassy asking him to 1- do a new medical test
2 - new police certificate from eygpt
3 - updated scheduled A

my question is when he did his medical ( this is the second time because first one was expired ) in the hospital they didnt give him any papers to send to immigration , they told him they will send it directly to the visa office . so we have no proof that we did the medical other than the receipt .
he also have them in the hospital the IMME form was received in the email but we didnt attach it to our email response .
so basically we responded to their request by 1 new police certificated translated only ( was took from police station and to translator only )
2 - only sent receipts for medical as a proof .
3 - updated scheduled A . does this seem right ? is it ok if we didnt get any proof or papers fro the medical test ?

any my last question is WHEN DO YOU think they will request his passport after his medical being received ?
how long does it usually take ? i think his security and criminal check is not started . this is what i saw when i requested the notes . its weird because it took so long
what do you guys think ?
I am so tired of waiting especially because we have an 19 months old son who is missing his most important time away from his dad.

Hi deemaom,
That's an unusual processing time... Anyway, since they asked you to send new documents, it means they are working on your application. And yes, the hospital send the results directly to the embassy. They gave him only one sheet (Kind of receipt) to send to the Embassy. I have no idea how long it will take for the visa. It depends of if he has an interview. Good luck and give us news when you'll get them!!

Hey Ahmedwaly,
Did you contact the CIC or the Embassy directly? Where did you send your police certificate? Did they ask for it?

You sent your documents to both, the CIC and the Embassy. It's normal that you got this answer from the CIC, they don't manage this. Did you try to send an email to the Embassy directly? Maybe they could say if they received your document. (They take about 10 days to respond...) Or maybe try to call them. And don't bother with your ECAS, mine has been updated after my husband landed in Montreal only! ;D
