Going by the trend in Jan 2022 applications, paper based was little faster.

For the MyCIC account, I would have one for your wife. That way she sees file updates and document requests as quick as possible. You will receive an email with attachment saying that your sponsorships is reviewed and approved.

What do you mean by "not looked at"? Do you mean no medical or biometric requests and no messages referring to your file being reviewed in any way when you log into myCIC? If there is no activity in MyCIC I would use the web form to enquire as to your status. If you have not received a reply through email with the attachment saying your sponsorship is approved, I would send a web form as the sponsor using your sponsor UIC asking for an update.

We are still for the first AOR… IRCC are saying Octobers visa are still being worked on and we’re a couple of months away.

Hi,

What happens if we start an online outland application with both of us living abroad, in UK, but then 8/10 months after submitting the application I move to Canada and my wife moves to Italy (assuming she didn't get PR yet) while we wait for her PR?

Would the process get delayed / is there risk that the application would be refused and we would have to restart?

Similarly, what happens if I renew my passport 8/10 months after submitting the application?

You just need to update IRCC of your new addresses. For moving to a new country, they may request PCC for PA. And if you moved back to Canada, then you need to update them so that the "intend to relocate back to Canada" is very strong. (Since you've already moved).
