Ask for GCMS notes or call them. You've received AOR so they won't return the application. I think they're just taking time regarding sponsor background check.

I have a question. I received my Decision Made and Passport Request today. (YAY!) I'll overnight it to New York. Does anyone know how long this part usually lasts? Assuming all goes well, when will I actually be able to enter Canada? Looking at the Tracking Tool, it looks like it's usually just a week or two between Passport Received and COPR. Is that about right? Are there more steps after that, or can we then head to Canada? I'm going to put my house on the market, and I'm trying to estimate when I can actually leave. Any help would be appreciated.
Congratulations.
It's mostly local logistics, perhaps three to five business days at the consulate. So in USA maybe one to three weeks. Could be more but should be pretty quick. Again, covid, but it's probably the least random part of the process.
@Jabya I am in the same boat. Been 3 months after AOR and no updates.
@kittenlover We did try calling them twice and both times the reply was the same, "your application is in the system and you will receive updates soon"
BTW, what's the procedure to apply for GCMS notes? any insights would be useful.
It's in my signature. I never got "Application Received", AOR2, "We are Processing", or "Pre-Arrival Letter".

I waited almost 2 months after AOR then got Biometrics and SA. I found this thread of how to order the GCMS notes. I hope it helps and hopefully you get updates soon!

we did apply for TRV but couldn't give Biometrics since the VACs in India were not processing TRV biometric requests (a couple of months ago) and now everything is closed.
thanks, I'm aware of the spreadsheet and it gives me a panic attack every time I see the timelines
did you apply the TRV under the 'family reunification' category?
I can relate the panic attack, I have chosen not to look at it daily!we did apply for TRV but couldn't give Biometrics since the VACs in India were not processing TRV biometric requests (a couple of months ago) and now everything is closed.

I did apply for normal TRV in Aug 2020, when I was outside of Canada and had not started living permanently in Canada.
Still waiting for any updates on that.
Then applied for Spousal Sponsorship as soon as I moved in Canada.
