Hi! I am being sponsored by my husband from Montreal. We are both Filipino by birth. My husband migrated to Canada 10 years ago and he is already a citizen. Just wanted to share my timeline below.
2017 October 15: sent application letter
2017 October 18: CIC confirmed application receipt thru my husband
2017 November 02: received feedback from CIC via email (both sponsor and principal applicants received an update via email) requiring the principal applicant to link the application to an online account.
2017 November 03: application linking performed but failed. My husband called CIC and they identified that the cause of error is the number of applicants stated should be 2 instead of 1 (despite i am the only one being sponsored).
2017 November 04: linking of application to online account is successful
2017 November 04: received request to upload schedule A form and we have uploaded it on the same day. After uploading, a few minutes later, i received another update for medical request that i should be able to do it on or before Dec 02.
2017 November 16: Medical proper
***shall keep you posted for any update.***
Hope I was able to help or at least just give you an idea on the duration for the new spousal application process.
