JKSHOPISB buddy we have the exact same timeline.
CIC-M recevied my application Dec 9-2009
BUt ISB started processing case on JAN 25-2010 & recived AOR letter on JAN 29-2010 a week earlier than your's.

Received an email response on Oct 10 that "the file is in queue to be reveiwed by immigration officer" so I assume they have not reviewd my file yet but good news for you atleast they told you that a correspondence will be sent out to you
when is your medical & PCC is going to expire and are you sponsering your wife or husband.Let me know when you receive a letter from them, most likely it will be remedical request letter. I am gald that I still have 1 month for medical & PCC to expire.

Now we know why CHC-ISB take long time to process file, please read below.

Forced Marriages, child brides, polygamy and arranged marriages between first cousins are most of the problems that Canadian immigration officials in Pakistan have to deal with.

The revelations are contained in a 26-page report prepared by Canadian officials working out of the immigration and visa office in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.

“With few exceptions, the Islamabad spousal reunification program involves Muslim proxy marriages arranged by the families, the vast majority of which take place between first cousins”.

Polygamy is most common among wealthy Pakistani families trying to come to Canada, officials says, though they often wont reject an application if a man has more than one wife.

Interesting .... Can you post link to that report
