Received GU yesterday and biometrics request for spouse today - 6 months of waiting. At least no need for writ of mandamus. Hopefully things will move, my medicals expire in 2 weeks…

Seems like many long-living applications are being picked up. Good sign.
Hopefully they process those first and clear the backlog before the new applications

I hope you're right, but I believe IRCC cares more about "we're processing new applications within 6 months !!!" goal than our dusty applications.
I've seen ppl with AOR Nov 2022 whining about not receiving any updates, meanwhile we've been waiting for over 2 years (mine is AOR Oct 2020).

I still had to wait 5 more months after I got the bio req for my spouse. Some people got theirs much faster, even within weeks. I think right now IRCC has started working on the backlogs from 2020 and hopefully they'll quickly finish all the open cases before the new draws.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. I think they'll clear all the backlog soon.

Hi all. Just received an email asking for updated proof of funds. Initial Proof of Funds doc that was submitted along with the application was done through gift deed from parernts. However, since then, i have used some funds for general expenses and am currently shy by around 2000 CAD. To comply, I will be transferring the necessary funds required to be above the minimum limit now from parents before submitting updated POF. Do i need to again do that via gift deed or is a normal transfer sufficient?

Normal transfer is OK, gift deed would rather be questionable. As long as it’s cash you got access to immediately - you’re fine.

They just elongated processing times for FSW-O from 30 months to 31.

Thought to share:
- Received GU-1 on 23-Jan-23, next day my spouse finally received a request to submit Biometrics (after 6 months since passing medicals)
- Submitted Biometrics on 31-Jan-23, next day received response to my webform notifying IRCC about biometrics submission and around 2-Feb-23 the biometrics number appeared under UCI of my spouse
- Received GU-2 on 5-Feb-23. No idea what it could be about, but no mail so far notifying about anything. Maybe it’s just Info sharing.

They have new portal to check for status: https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login
It shows more details: Medical, Eligibility, Criminality, Biometrics
It shows separately for PA and spouse too.
Just need to create an account with your UCI

Let us know what you see

I saw that my Medicals which were expiring on 19-Feb-23 were prolonged till Jan-24, which will save me 500$ because I was just about to renew them.

Nice, even though you're outside of Canada?
My spouse medical also just expired last week and she's outside of Canada, hopefully, they give her an extension also.

Does it show Eligibility passed for your spouse too?

For me everything passed exception Background Check.
For my spouse, still have "Eligibility Not Started" (not sure if they have to do this as we're not Sponsorship applicant) and BackgroundCheck

This new tracker shows if they prolong medicals. Yes, I’m outside of Canada, but this would be my 3d check already - so maybe they thought 2 exams would be enough.

Eligibility says not started, but I think spouse doesn’t need one. Background check says passed, but Biometrics say “In progress”. I mean Info sharing can’t take less than 2-4 weeks, so I didn’t expect it to be passed so soon. All my checks are passed, I believe they were passed last June.
