It took 1 year and almost 2 months for everything to be completed and approved. Keep praying guys, be patient. Don't forget to keep checking your GCkey for any important updates and don't miss any deadlines from CIC officer. You can always contact them for additional updates. If you are living in canada and sponsoring your spouse (Outland) it'll be much more easier to communicate with CIC if you are the representative. They can't really release any information for the primary applicant. just my advice. Good luck Everyone!!! Have Faith!!!
