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. Medical Exam Result
10. Passport Request (PPR)
11. 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 from AOR to completion takes 12 months to help reduce the waiting stress.......relax.....its a wait game

Oh relax ! London visa office is a slow office so don’t panic and I suggest that u stop tracking and digging for at least 2 months hhhh ! Otherwise , u might get anxiety attack .. no seriously! My husband’s application was transferred to London in July and we have not heard anything since then and they have not started our BGC yet ! So I doubt that you will hear anything from London before March of next year !

My husband lives in Abu Dhabi

When eligibility assessment is started or completed.......the message for Review of Eligibility.....will be (2)....below;

2.) Review of eligibility: "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements"

When Background check is started or completed.......the message for Background Check......will be (2).....below;

2.) Background Check: “We are processing your background check. we will send you a message if we need more information.“

Sorry so if it says we are reviewing whether you meet eligibility requirements, means it’s completed?

 

[Wakki]

either started or completed.....sometimes after completion of eligibility assessment, you receive pre-arrival letter.

Hi
What are the steps for inland

 

[laport2018]

Hello,
My AOR date is 24th Oct, my medical got clear on 23rd Nov. Now my application status does not change.
Review of Eligibility- We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Background check says- Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.

What does this mean? and how long this can take? if anyone can suggest, it would be of great help.
Thanks a lot.

Mine is the same, AOR was December , finished and passed medicals January . Sponsor was approved December as well. Since medicals passed there have been no updates.
Only that eligibility is in progress and background check not started . Not even sure if the transfer to visa office has taken place . It’s a long ride so I’m just being patient .
