I am applying for a Spousal PR application for my wife, who is currently on a temporary work permit while I am a Permanent Resident. We got married in a Quebec court and have obtained our marriage certificate. I would like to confirm if we need to submit any additional proof of our relationship besides the marriage certificate.

First time I've really read this thread properly. My outland spousal application timelines is in my signature.

Today received CSQ (copy obviously also sent by MIFI to IRCC). The only thing left to complete is my background check, but I'm wondering what the estimated wait is from now on to get COPR? Any ideas?

When we applied in October 2022, the processing time was at 14 months. We have no news yet. We have called and even contacted our MP, none of it was helpful. My wife has had AIP since July 2023 and it has now been a year since background, medical, biometrics and eligibility have be all marked as completed in the tracker. SA came in August 2023. It is absurd.
Any news?

Well I applied originally (with IRCC) end of February 2024. Applied for the Quebec side of things end of May 2024. Received CSQ in August 2024. Since then my application has been stuck in Background check, although I do now have a 2 year spousal work permit based on the success of my original application.
