Hello everyone, here is my Visa D timeline for myself under a single permit and for my husband for family reunification.
25 January 2023 - Single permit approved (Annexe 46)
1 February 2023 - Visa D application submitted and application package mailed to the Consulate in Montreal.

Application package includes (note that I erred on the side of over sharing and added more documents than what I saw was required. I marked with an * those documents that were required as part of the application):

For me (I already received my Annexe 46 single permit
*Two (2) completed Visa D applications
*Copy of Annex 46
Proof of sufficient lodging - 30-day reservation at a hotel
Dummy Flight booking
Proof of financial means - credit card
*Proof of the payment of the administrative fee (which was paid in September when my employer applied for the single permit)
*Postal Money order for the consular fees.
*Two (2) passport pictures

For my husband for a family reunification
*Two (2) completed Visa D applications
*Copy of Zaza's Annex 46
*Marriage Certificate (duly legalized)
*Medical Certificate (duly legalized)
*Health insurance - Attestation from a mutuelle
*Criminal Records (duly legalized)
*Proof of sufficient lodging - 30-day reservation at a hotel
*Proof of significant means - Zaza’s work contract showing that "le regroupant dispose d’au moins 1.969 euros (€) net/mois."
Proof of significant means - credit card

*Proof of the payment of the administrative fee to the Immigration Office in Belgium
*Postal Money order for the consular fees.
*Two (2) passport pictures
*Passport

I also had seen that a "déclaration & intégration" might be needed. There does't seem to be a document available yet on the Office des Etrangers website, but just in case we added the following language in a cover letter to the application and had my husband sign it - Je comprends les valeurs et les normes fondamentales de la société belge et j’agirai en conformité avec celles-ci. Je suis également informé du fait que mes efforts d'intégration dans la société belge seront contrôlés par l’Office des étrangers.

update

7 February - status of the application in visaonweb updated from "Submitted" to "Imported"

@Zaza00  and any updates?

Theoretically it should have been issued by now

if not you might need the assistance of the attorney, or consultancy firm

Yes sorry everyone, the visa D was released within a out a week from sending in the application. Glad to have finalized that process.
