Yea DHL says that because typically there is no one there to sign for it from the intended receiver's end at PO Boxes. But it does get through anyway.svieira said:

hi. my husband sponsored me. we hired an immigrant consultant. he said, ontario received our application package last oct. 3rd. just that...no Client ID number given, nothing...just that. Im a filipina, my husband who sponsored me is canadian. My cousin and her family, who are all filipinos..got the approval of their application after 2 months, I thought spousal sponsorship is the fastest? We really havent heard any development regarding our papers. SO WHATS NEXT? What shall we expect...im blinded. hehe. My husband said, he will apply for a visitors visa for me while waiting for the approval of spousal sponsorship. Whats the chances of approval/ rejection? Any idea? Please help...

If the application was received on the 3rd oct, you're going to have to wait 67 days till you get your approval of Step-1. (Expect something by mid-december. if not then, early jan cuz of the holidays). When step-1 is complete, you'll get your Client ID and your file will be transferred to your Visa Office, which for you I'm guessing is Manila. The processing times there are 10 months on average (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp)
So for now just sit back, relax and hope for the best
I'm not really sure you can go on a visit visa while your immigration application is in process. I haven't heard any success stories there.
