Duration for the spousal sponsorship

[Sam_west]

Folks, its regarding the spousal immigration visa processing time for my wife who's in Pakistan, and I'm in Calgary, Alberta.
Its more than 11 months now, since our immigration application was acknowledged on the 10th Oct 2017.
Last I heard in April when the application was approved to be sent to the Visa Office in London from the CPC in Mississauga.

I heard when filling the application that it'll take around 12 - 13 months usually. I'd like to know, whats the average time nowadays..

Thanks,

Most straight forward Outland Spousal Sponsorship follow these process steps (the order of the steps may vary)

1. Application received at IRCC
   
2. IRCC start processing application
3. Receive Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR 1)
4. Link Application to Online Account
5. Upload Schedule A form
6. Sponsor Approval and File transfer to VO
7. VO starts processing PR application (AOR 2)
8. Receive Request for Medical Exam
9. Medical Exam @ IRCC Panel Physician Clinic
10. Medical Exam Result
11. Passport Request (PPR)
12. Pick-up Permanent Residency Visa (PUM)

Spousal sponsorship process completion time varies depending on the Visa Office and on a case basis.......will advice you assume process completion takes 12 months to help reduce the waiting stress.......relax.....its a wait game.
