How long before I hear back about our application?

[JustinT]

I am in the process of sponsoring my wife for immigration to Canada. Our application package arrived at the processing center on February 15th so it's been a little over a month now, but I haven't received an email or any replies from IRCC. How much longer should I wait before I attempt to contact them?

It can take up to 3 months

It can take up to 3 months. The current trend is 45-60 days. So no need to start worrying yet. If you want to get a general estimate of when you should hear back, consider watching the February forums to see when they get their AORs
