PR Spousal Current Status - Confused

Hello, it's been 5 months total since our PR was sent out, I had an AOR in Canada. Then they needed a small change in one of the document's so we sent it out promptly and quickly got approval they recieved the corrected document.

I was then approved as a sponsor and the papers were sent to Beirut Lebanon for processing of the applicant (my wife).

We got AOR2 and since then (it's been 3 months now) we have recieved no addotional updates.

This is the current status:
*Review of eligibility*
We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

*Review of medical results*
You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.

*Review of additional documents*
We are reviewing the additional documents you provided.

*Interview* You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.

*Biometrics* We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.

*Background check* Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.

*Final decision* Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

I'm confused because it's been 4 months since we gave them the fixed document but it still says "reviewing additional documents"

Is that normal?
Also, does everything else seem on track? I remember signing up for monthly updates but since we never recieved anymore after AOR2 I just wanted to make sure everything seemed on track.

Thank you for the help in advance,
- OH.

1. Everything you are describing is totally normal. You are in the background check phase of the application, which takes the longest. It's ok, don't worry. You're well ahead of schedule. You won't hear anything from them at all during this part.
2. Sometimes they are slow to update GCKey accounts, so even though it hasn't updated, that doesn't mean they don't have your document. Unless they contact you again then they just haven't updated yet.

That's a huge relief, glad to know everything is on track! Thank you for the information.
