I am from India. I have applied for the Federal today along with the CSQ and the courier is expected to reach on May 9th.
1. Do I receive an AOR and in how many days from the date CIO, Sydney, Nova Scotia receives my application packet?
2. How many days/ months does it take for the CIO office to ask me to proceed with the further process of medical check up and payment of Right of Landing Fees?
3. Once I have submitted my medical reports and fees how many days/ months does it take for CIO to ask me to submit the passports to the Visa office?
4. Finally, do I have to personally take the passports to the visa office along with my family or courier them to the Delhi office and how much time does it take to finally receive the passports with visas?
The CIC website mentions 13 months but many people have told me that it takes about 6 months or less for all the above processes put together. Kindly guide.
* 6 Months or less is definitely impossible based on all the stats I've ever seen...unless you're talking about Express Entry.
That said, regarding your other questions:
1- It will take 2 to 4 months before you'll receive your AOR from CIC given that your submitted package does not miss anything;
2- It really depends, some ppl receive Medical request after 10 days of AOR while it can take months for some other ppl;
3- Not sure, no one can give you the exact answer, I believe;
4- No, you'll express your passports per the instructions CIC will send you in the future;
Note: we all hope it will take less time for the whole process, but fact is FACT that it will take 10 to 13 months on average for the entire process, you'd better do not lie to yourself but wait patiently for any updates or requests from CIC, and Good Luck!
