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. Biometrics
  10. Medical Exam Result
  11. Eligibility Assessment
  12. Background Check completion
  13. Passport Request (PPR)
  14. 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.
Thanks for the answer.

But my question still remains unanswered.

I sent a series of emails to the address in the letter I received.

One email per bullet point in their letter due to the attachments being so numerous, and that we had to wait about a week to get NBI clearance from Manila.

Also with our application, they requested the schedule A be resent due to gaps in addresses which don’t exist.

I called and eventually spoke to an agent that told me to write a letter explaining the misunderstanding and to send that and it should be accepted.

It would be nice if they would acknowledge that the documents were received.

Complicated business.

Check your GCKey under the Additional documents. If it says, “We are reviewing the additional documents you provided.” Then mean they have your documents

Hope it helps.

An updated scheduled A and a list of travel since October 2017. They asked us to submit these documents within 15 days by email. We sent it back the same day they requested.

You have not submitted them. The page is badly built. Look at the bottom of the page if there’s a submit, confirm or send button.

Hello guys,
My paper application was received on Dec 6 and i got email few days ago asking for missing document. I created new account and linked my application but i couldn't find a link to upload the requested doc. The application status in my account reads "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you". but they did ask me through email. any ideas how can i upload the doc?
