my wifes application was sent on January 17,2018. They started processing it on March 22, 2018. Medical on May 5th was requested and sent medical on May 6th. They sent the application to Ankara on May 15. Pre-arrival letter sent on June 29th and passport request was on July 3rd. submitted the passport on July4th and got the visa on July 9th but thats because of the weekend or else it shouldnt take more than 2 days.

did you need to take with you a letter of authorization from your wife to give/take her passport to/from the VO?
For those who were married in Iran, While filling out form IMM5532, Part C, Q9... what should i put there as it asked about the person conducted the wedding ceremony?
Due date: a specific date that you are asked to finish and submit a file.
Deadline: the last day you can submit a file or never. ( You might be able to change the deadline only if there is a good reason with an explanation but not guaranteed)
Many Thanks for your answer! I think the "Marriage Officiant" is what i should write, since "Guardian Council" is translated as something very different in Iran.
Are you or your spouse from Iran too?

hopefully your timeline goes faster than mine. my brother is sponsering his wife and he applied in may and his application is sent to Ankara already so you never know! good luck on yours and thank you for the response
any news? did you hear back from Ankara, yet?
Hi all
I'm a Canadian Citizen sponsoring my spouse out land. (He lives in Iran)
On June 20th 2018, I got an email from CIC that they have revived our application on May 22nd 2018 and asked us to link our application to our account, which we did.
On June 26, 2018 they asked us to upload IMM5669 once again because there was a field missing. On July 3rd they sent a Medical request.
then on July 5th I got an email saying : "We are pleased to inform that you have met the federal eligibility requirements as a sponsor.
on July 11th, they changed the status to: "You passed the medical exam"
on the same day, I received an email confirming that my application was sent to Ankara VO and I should now send the Undertaking Application to Quebec Immigration office (CSQ).
I sent all the files to CSQ, on July 19th.
I am just wondering how long does the whole process take and if anybody else has experienced the same?
Thank you!

You got to wait until your CSQ , then send it to your VO.
I live in QC too and my CSQ was sent (less than a week ago) .
They transferred my app to Ankara may 1st. till now am waiting! No news nothing, SOO frustrating
No one can tell how long it really takes, all we do is wait and wait
My application was sent to Ankara only On July 11th. I sent my first application to CIC on May 22nd.
