Hi guys,
I sent application for my wife on October 13, 2020. Its received on October 20, 2020. I haven't received anything yet. No file number nothing. Please if anyone else sent in same time frame let me know about your progress of the application.
Thank you

Hi Jasbir,
Everyone on this particular board (October 2020 Outland) is in your same boat. We've all submitted and no one has heard anything yet. You can monitor others' progress on the spreadsheet if you'd like. This allows you to see each month for the year and how they are progressing. At this point, no one in September or October have reported receiving their AOR. Personally, I am not expecting to receive anything until about the 5 month mark (prior to CoVID it was about 3 months.)

As Daling mentioned, you could call the IRCC and get a temporary file number, but it doesn't impact your speed of processing. If you go that route, you have to call a number in Canada from a Canadian number, so there are some hurdles to going that route for no impact. Personally, I have decided to pass on going that route as it doesn't help anything (group - correct me if I am wrong.)
Unfortunately, the name of the game right now is patience.
Best regards,

Do I add myself to the google tracker?
Thanks, I did add my name. (Side note to whoever runs it, I don't think the totals at the bottom are counting the last few rows)
I know we don't know for sure, but do we have an estimated time frame for once the AOR is received, to when you're allowed to move? I've been looking through the sheet, and looks like May/June are the main ones getting decisions/COPRs, with a handful in July as well. I didn't go through the data to see time from AOR to COPR, but is that looking to be about 7 months from when your application was delivered. And that (barring no delays), us Oct submitters should start to receive the COPR or at least a decision made around May/June, if I'm understanding this right?

Be careful to manage your expectations. Only 22% of January 2020 applications have achieved Decision Made.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume you have a Canadian spouse - so can't you move any time? You can maintain your Outland application even though you've become Inland. You'll just have restrictions on the ability to work, and won't receive Canadian Health Care, etc.

Understood.
From what I've seen, going to Canada with the intent to move there and stay before having your PR is not allowed and I dont want to risk anything. My last trip there (I got back the 10th) the border agent did tell me I can stay for up to 6 months, and stamped me for that, but because of work I had to come back anyways.
If I can move there before, someone please enlighten me because I would love that and would go to my bosses right away to see about working remotely. My lease is up in March and right now the plan is to move into my brothers house until I'm allowed to move. If I could go to Canada (and possibly come and go due to work as needed) with no issues I'd rather move there

It isn't a matter of when you are allowed to move. Technically you are not allowed to move until you get your COPR but you can go on your TRV, eta or if you are coming from USA you don't need either of those. If/when you come to "visit" your spouse you can't travel with all your possessions, you have appear to be coming only to visit until you get your COPR.
There is no definite time from AOR to COPR time. Even harder to guess now with Covid. Give us more info, where are you coming from, your nationality, is the sponsor a citizen or PR holder. With more info we might be able to help you more.
Yes, I know I can't show up with my belongings. Which, tbh won't be much anyways.
I am a US citizen, in California, and she is a Canadian citizen in Alberta. If my work would let me work remote (it's still up in the air with covid going on) I would be up there in a heartbeat. I have a vague plan of asking my work for a trial period of working remotely from there for a month to two months, to 1) spend time with my wife, 2) show work I can work remotely with no drop off, 3) show the border agent that it is just temporary and I'll be heading back

You won't have a problem in Canada working remotely unless your company does business with Canadian customers. In that case you are not legally allowed to do it.
