Hi friends,

Any idea how long it takes to complete the process after medical exam?
My parents passed medical exam on Oct 20, 2023 and submitted updated resumes on Oct 26, 2023.

So far, no updates.

Vancouver office seems closed, or our files has been assigned to those officers in Vancouver officers who had resigned or laid off
there is no reply or update since march 2023.
finally we have to unite and file a case through lawyer to get an update on our cases. totally unfair all fees paid and no update.

This is quite common in Canada. My own application for PR was sent to Buffalo and they transferred all our files to Sydney NS and something that took 1 year took 4 years.

Hello friends,
I was invited to apply for my parents PR and received my file number /sponsor approval on March 17, 2023 but haven't heard anything from IRCC after that. I haven't paid the right of permanent residence fee for both of my parents , only paid the application Processing fee when applying. Is that what causing the delay? I know people who received the invitation with me , their parents are already here. Any information will be very helpful. Thank you :)
