Hi
Is the medical update mandatory? I haven't been asked yet. Is that normal.
It say on the website 10 weeks from receiving Biometric.
Timeline for April 2023 intake:
Submitted: 1st Jan
Biometric : 9th Jan
No updates since then.
Any update please?

Non SDS (Indonesia) For May 2023
Submitted 4th Jan
Biometrics completed last year (this is reapply)
Medical updated last year
Eligibility started I guess around 3rd Feb 2023
No further updates. I'm a bit worried now as PPR needs to be uploaded by 15 April :oops:

Applied for May intake 2023 ( SDS from Pakistan)

Documents submitted on 13th Feb

Biometrics done on 17th Feb

Medical updates and passed on 2nd March

Started checking my eligibility on 9th March

After that, there hasn’t been any update so far. Kinda worried whether I will get my visa on time or not.

Hey, I am from China. I applied for a study permit through SDS on 3.1.
The timeline for it:
3.1 submitted
3.8 Biometrics completed
3.14 medical completed
3.20 BVL
no updates since

Today, I just checked my application on the newly introduced tool from IRCC, Application Status Tracker. And it shows information like this, do you guys have similar information like this?


BTW, the site for the tool is : https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en

I applied on Jan 4 and am still under review. They will show ghost updates when they start reviewing your eligibility (or no update at all, as there are people whose eligibility review is updated exactly when they got the decision). And you haven't exceeded the 10 weeks timeline, so I'd say let them work for now.

How many weeks did it take for them to start the eligibility check after biometrics ? It's been 4 weeks for me and I haven't heard anything, nothing, nada, zero update

Also when will they request for medicals ?

No one know for sure when they will start the eligibility check. I did the medical upfront, I believe you will receive a request from IRCC to do the medical check later.
