It could take a year to complete the process but every case is different, so nobody can give you a definitive answer.

Many cases take a lot less than a year, while some take longer. Really all you can do is wait.

Also just because you can see that your medical and biometrics have been completed doesn't necessarily mean "everything" is done.

There are eligibility, security, and background checks that have to be done and usually take a few months. This is work the IRCC or local visa office does that we have no input to unless we are asked for additional documents.

As Zardoz said you just have to wait.

Mine is a ditto case as yours. We got an email yesterday saying that my application has been forwarded to New Delhi visa office for further processing. My medical and biometrics was also completed few days ago.

Thank you for the response but I would like to add that they sent an email to my spouse that she’s eligible to sponsor me on October 2, 2019

Yes, sponsor eligibility is one of the first things that are determined. The eligibility check I referred to is your eligibility as PA to become a permanent resident of Canada... completely different but a necessary part of the process.

Things see to go very quickly at the beginning so people expect to get approved faster than a year. There is still a lot of work to do that also involves waiting for other governments to respond. Plan for 1 year.

AOR is basically a receipt of acknowledgement you get when they receive your application so that you can link your paper application to online gc key account. I’ve not received it yet too. Btw

I would plan for another 6-7 months at least, but nobody here will be able to tell you for sure. As people have said to you many times, plan for the whole process to take 1 full year...
