Thank you so much for your time. I have three more questions. I am sorry to bother you as this maybe something I should know, but as of now I have no clue. Request your help on that.
1.I thought one should send the complete application together in one package and then he/she will receive AOR from CIC followed by Med Request, Passport request etc. In case any document is missing in between, we will receive that document request. At least this is what happened with me under CEC. I do not get what PER and CC means here. Could you please advise on this stages.
2. Should the funds be shown at the time of applying or at the time of landing? And any limit that funds should have been in that account of these many days?
3. When is the likely time to get her PR in case everything goes fine going by the current trend.

1. Please please don't forget any document. The CIC is very strict unlike CEC i.e. no document, then rejection. For example please go through the Spread sheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11gAbKSoDoOr1s8_raB1qwz0i-ZH0NyNWhhn18O6kHwQ/htmlview?pli=1&sle=true#gid=1627896255 At the bottom you will see the applications rejected, and please read the reasons i.e. in the Remarks Column. You forget anything, and there is no next chance.
CC -> Credit Card Charge i.e. they opened your application and preliminary found everything included, and took your application fee.
PER -> Positive Eligibility Review i.e. "in principle" your application is OK i.e. 90% chance you will get it I think. They read stuff -> see rejections in the Spreadsheet.
CC comes before PER. However if you provide a bank draft you don't come to know it has been charged, and you simply get the PER email.
2. Funds should be shown at the time of application for sure. If you can get a bank statement, then I think it will work. I am personally not sure about the funds aspect because I had several times the amount.
3. NDVO seems to be pretty quick, but with the backlog, I am guessing around the time of your wedding i.e. by June. You can try looking at the previous years spread sheet to see how fast/slow NDVO is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Aovj20uHVWyzdGFqSGJUOEtVX0h5eWM0cXB5dlAtOEE&output=html
