Many apps are processed faster. There is no guarantee that yours will be and you cannot compare to other people when you are still well within the posted processing time.

Many apps are processed faster. There is no guarantee that yours will be and you cannot compare to other people when you are still well within the posted processing time.
The cases on this forum where people are processing faster are typically with American spouses.
Anticipate the process to take a year. If yours is faster, be grateful.
How would they do a BGC for me? I've already submitted my PCC along with the rest of my other documents. Is there anything else i should have given?
Do you think it would be appropriate to apply for a visitor visa in the mean while? My husband is been going through some health issues and is alone there. I want to go and see him.
The Canadian embassy does this, with RCMP, CSIS, and with cooperation from other countries.
This is a very basic step in a spousal sponsorship application. Everyone goes through it.
You can try to apply, but you will most likely be refused a visa as you would not be a genuine visitor.
Many have been going pretty fast, 6 months or less, while many take longer. There is a master spreadsheet floating around the forum with up-to-date timelines. Have a search for it.

same. when I look at the timelines in the spreadsheet, most are less than 12 months
When you look at the spreadsheet and see people getting COPR in 3-6 months, also look at the column that says "Number of applicants waiting for stage (%)". For example, while June's numbers show an average to COPR of approximately three months, that's applicable for only about 26% of the applicants. That means that 74% of applicants from June have not received COPR. 63% are still waiting for DM.
