Hate to sound impatient, but I wonder what's holding up my sponsor approval. It's currently 34 days after they received our application, and while the estimate for sponsor assessment was 36 days (I think) when I submitted the application, it appears to be only 29 days now. Others, however, seem to be getting SA sooner than either of these estimates who share the same VO with us.
I've never received social assistance, I'm a Canadian citizen by birth, I've always resided in Canada, I've never sponsored anyone before, and I have no criminal record. I got AOR1 relatively quickly, which seems to suggest that my sponsorship application is "complete", so no documents should be missing, incomplete, or without a signature (which I've checked thoroughly thanks to this forum and the guides).
The only thing that I can think of that might be concern is that I'm a 22-year-old university student and I've only ever been employed during the summer months. However, from my understanding, there's no minimum financial requirement for sponsoring your spouse. Plus, I'm graduating university this year and I got my parents to sign a notarized letter saying they'd help support me and my wife if we needed it.
Our relationship does have a couple potential red flags, but my wife and I provided ample evidence using suggestions on this forum. I don't even think that CPC-M really checks the relationship-side of things.
