Well, every application is unique and different. And no one can really tell how much time they do each checks.
Did your application get approved yet?

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
Wakki,
We applied june, 2018
1st medical was done nov, 2018
Medical for 2 children done may 2018 (his country panel doctor said we couldnt do it that's why it took so long-run accompanying)
Oct, 2019 they sent an email asking for passport, photos original birth certificates and criminal
Jan 3rd, 2020 passed elegibility and recieved another letter saying to prep for cold canada
No interview needed.
Feb 19th, 2020 sent again for medical (while they still have his passport)

Any idea how long after 2nd medical it will be If they already have his passport. Ottawa state's that the process is going smooth but it sure dowsnt feel like it.

Criminal in process (mp said it states it is valid)
Security in process (mp also said it states it is valid)

Mine said the same thing. After almost a month, they sent me a letter to redo my medical then another week, everything went through.

It could still be pending due to the covid. Moat government offices closed around that time world wide. But do bot quote me on this. Ita just a guess

Hi guys,

My AOR is 26th Aug 2019. I sent a webform recently and got the following response:

Furthermore, we verified the information on file and can confirm that:

The background verifications are currently valid.
The security background verification is currently valid.
The criminal background verification is currently valid.

Just wondering what does 'currently valid' mean?

Thanks in advance
