Greatness welcome to the forum and the waiting game.
You just joined the ranks of those who felt just like you that day!
So about your apps
Depends how long Canada Post takes to deliver. As soon as they have it you will be able to verify it in your postal tracking. So that's one notch in your scrapbook.
Then you are waiting for an AOR (Acknowledge of Receipt) which will be the first official email you will get from CIC (assuming you included an email address in your apps). In this first email you will also get a UCI (Universal Client ID) and a Case File Number. Now AOR may come to you anywhere between 10 to 20 days or little longer after your package has officially arrived.
Then expect your SA (Sponsor Approval) which if you are lucky it will come to you in 10-15 days after AOR.
Ok as long as you are the Applicant your husband who is the Sponsor will get all the above
After or some days before you have these two letters from CIC you will be able to access e-Cas which is your electronic case file.
At the same time CIC will inform you with your SA that your files will be delivered to your VO (Visa Office)
So be a little patient as there would be a lot of straining days to come. Enjoy this easy period. Take part in the April thread which i am sure someone will start soon.
Wishing you the best of luck
