Hi. I've a few queries, if someone can answer to that. My husband sponsored me and filed the application on March 14, 2017 and it was received the next day but I've not received the file no yet. Plus what's the average time of getting AOR? Just getting worried now since its been 1.5 months and I've not got any notification from them.

Hi, there is a thread for March 2017 applicants here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/march-2017-outland-spousal-applicant-t476777.0.html

They should have a spreadsheet which will give you a general idea what the timeline looks like... Have you both been checking your emails? Have you been checking ECAS for updates?

ECAS is at https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do it allows you to check your status ('Received', 'In progress', 'Decision Made'). To log in, you'll need either the file number, or your UCI (if you've had any prior dealings with CIC - eg a previous work permit, visitor visa, etc).

If you contact CIC and it's still within normal processing times, all they'll tell you is that it's within normal processing times.
