Now just waiting. If you are lucky, they might really start your background check in 2-3 months. They might ask for some additional documents. And you are basically waiting for their passport request that would mean they are ready to issue the visa

If this is family class sponsorship where one spouse is a Canadian citizen or PR and the other one is the Primary Applicant living in a different country and applying for a permanent residence to move to Canada, then only Primary Application needs to take the medicals, so o ly one medical request.

Depends on the country. You can look up processing times on this website but that is just an estiate. It can go slower (rarely faster).

Hello Friends, I have a question.
How long does it take Dakar visa processing center to request for your passport after your application is been sent to them by Immigration Canadian for visa processing. I already applied for Quebec selection and it's out already and a copy has been forwarded to Dakar but i have not heard any news from Dakar requesting for my passport. Please any information is vital.
God Bless You

Hello friends I want some clarification. I will be marrying a girl in INDIA soon. I am a Canadian citizen for years and just want to find out that if I sponsor her to come to Canada as my spouse, how long the process takes and will she get her PR status right away when she arrives? Will she be able to work as soon as she comes to Canada? Please let me know thanks.

Passport Request does not come that fast. Yes, the VO has your case and the requested certificate, but they have earlier cases in a row. So it might take another 2-3 months or more till they really start working with your case.

Officially it says up to 12 month for processing since the day they received your case.

I guess you should try calling them or sending an email, as it is too long no new from them. They might have sent you some emails/requests, but could use a wrong email and you never got anything from them.
