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. Sponsor Approval and File transfer to VO
  6. VO starts processing PR application (AOR 2)
  7. Receive Request for Medical Exam
  8. Medical Exam @ IRCC Panel Physician Clinic
  9. Medical Exam Result
  10. Passport Request (PPR)
  11. 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.
In my case, we received request for medical exam without 5 and 6. Does that mean it has been already processed in the VO or we need to wait for 5 and 6 even after the medical exam? Thank you!

Hey guys, I sent my application to Sydney, NS from the UK on Nov 16th - unfortunately due to the strike it was only just received 2 days ago.

Will I receive anything from CIC to say they have received the documents or is it just a case of waiting for AOR now?

Any help with this process would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Sarah

Probably we won't get any message from CIC about application until 45-50days
Have to wait for AOR.
And you can just save the evidence of your PR application delivered to CIC.

Hi All,

My wife submitted my application directly from Canada to Sydney NS and the application was received on 8th November but still no AOR. Anyone could update how long will it take to get AOR? Will they send me AOR via letter or by email?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Maybe we'll get AOR in January or February of next year
