It's not 113 days. I know quite a few people that applied the visa for their spouses and get it in 1 months or less.

I have a question in this regards, in case the spouse get the visa and enter Canada before the PR application approve, can we complete the process inside Canada or does the spouse need to leave Canada at the time of finalizing the application? since its outland sponsorship

no, they can finish in Canada with virtual landing process
you should update your Canada address as soon as you move in

Can you edit your post to use punctuation? I’m having a hard time understanding it. I’ve read it a few times and can’t figure it out.

I'm pretty confused when it comes to the gckey thing.

My wife (the applicant) has a gckey login. We can't figure out what we're supposed to do with it. I think she's supposed to link her application to gckey, but we have never been able to do that. It keeps saying it cant find the application.

And then I saw on here somebody had a signature that said they were linking their sponsorship application to their gckey. Am I (the sponsor) supposed to also create a gckey account and link the sponsorship application to it?

This is all very confusing. Why are there multiple sites for checking status? We have access to the actual PR status tracker site (https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login) and that seems to give us everything we need at this point.

Can somebody clarify?

yeah, i know it’s confusing and even overwhelming sometimes so i will try to make it simple

GCkey is basically where you communicate with officer about your application (and vice versa), in my opinion they should allow us to apply from here like other temporary resident application but somehow they have us to use another website (PR portal)
anyway, PR portal is only used for submission, after receiving AOR you can “link” your application to GCkey and then follow up from there (to get BIL, MEI, PAL and submit any additional document)
as for how to link, there is another thread for your reference, please follow up exactly as he mentioned https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/how-to-link-an-application-to-cic-account-step-by-step-instruction.619724/
this point is mentioned in above thread but just to highlight again, an application can only be linked to one GCkey account, so if you have a representative only him can link your application

PR status tracker is used purely for “tracking” purpose and it’s useful when you have a representative because you can’t see your application in GCkey
there are two parts of the tracking for sponsor and PA (using their respective UCI), on the sponsor side you will see the eligibility completed only, on the PA side you will see the status of 4 sections with background check is the longest step
the tracker is updated on daily basis only so you don’t have to check it multiple times a day
