Mrs. Hopeful: Welcome to the forum!! I am surprised that you were already approved without the police report as I thought that had to be done prior to your application being received in Canada but congratulations!! Now the real waiting begins. Don't be overly concerned about the 17 months on the CIC website. In the last calendar year, we are averaging between 7-8 months.. some a little under and some a little over. Your husband might receive an AOR letter however that does not always happen. You can expect to hear nothing for the next few months though. With your client ID number in your letter, you will be able to check your status online!! It's always nice to be surrounded by people going through the same journey so again welcome!
