I would suggest you to apply for TRV for you wife as LVO is now 29 months processing VO.

Hello
You have to send an email to inquire about your file. BUT now all family cases are being processed at LVO so your file MUST be there too. ISB is only processing TRV and Student Visas.
Yes that means that your file is not opened yet for stage 2. It will become in process the file is opened. But sometimes the VO does not update status often. So do not worry much.

Well nothing can be said right now, what is updated on the source of this info, when is it applicable?
Also we have to wait to see the trend on the forum by posts that whether it is for 2015 applicants or for all that are already in the inventory.
What are the odds on a TRV being issued while you are sponsoring your wife in parallel?

Is this time increase due to the fact that London Office took over applications from Islamabad, which were just gathering dust for over a year.

I applied for spousal sponsorship on March 31, 2014 and London office asked for proof of birth for my wife on Tuesday - Feb 10th. Now sure how 29 months window will fit in.

TRV is really tough now, few people including my wife were refused the TRV.

Might be we all need to start bugging Immigration Minister.
Your TRV got refused on what grounds?

I find something so intrinsically wrong with this.
What I understand from a Temporary Resident Visa, the most challenging part of the process is to convince that my wife and baby will return back to Pakistan.
If I was the visa officer how realistic would that be? Is there something <i>wrong</i> with this framework that I need to be disingenuous to be united with my loved ones?

Good. You are lucky u get some response. Many June and July cases didnt hear anything from LVO. I know one of my friend also got the same question to prove the residency.
He send them his utillity bills and paystubs as an evidence of residence in canada. I think Next step would be either remedical or ppr.

My wife sponcer me. thanks for your reply
She needs to provide any document indicating that she is residing in canada since she sponsored you. As she is living with her parents then utility bills and lease agreement wont be possible. She can send any medical record if she visited during that period of time any doctor. Further she can send cell phone bill (If she have any), though cell phone bill is not considered as good evidence. She can send any educational document if she enrolled in any course.
Dont worry just give them some solid evidence as proof of residence.
I didnt hear anything from LVO yet.
