The offical submitted date on the AOR said Nov 30/24. When he was asked for biometrics, medical & extra paperwork, he did submit everything very quickly, which probably helps.
Ah, I thought you'd submitted much more recently. Yep, 4-5 months for a US applicant is not that unusual, esp where marriage reasonably established. This is why I was cautious about how long OWP might take - for some applicants with straightforward cases the PR status does get approved/finalized before the OWP gets much of anywhere.

As noted, when he sends that in and gets the response back with the printed COPR, he's good to go and can 'land' whenever convenient. Note that when he does he should give them info about goods coming separately, and if he's bringing his car, well, I've not much idea how that works (apart from that it's complicated).

I have been looking into it, aside from needing a RIV inspection in order to register it Canada, I don't know how much more is required. According to what I've read, bringing in 1 daily driving type of vehicle is allowed to be brought in along with his belongings and there is supposed to be some sort of list of items that are coming and/or will be brought into the country that needs to be presented at the border. There may be a stipulation on how much the vehicle can be worth before it would be subjected to duty though.
