What happened to those who applied earlier in 2020?

Going back through the posts I see a few people posted about medical requests/ADR and medicals passed in 2023, one person even got PPR and there was someone who had an interview but none of them have posted any updates since and no one has posted about being approved in months! Did they all just stop posting or are STILL waiting for updates after medicals?

@Ansionuk any updates in your chat group?

we have people got approved and refused every month. haven't really had time to gather all the information lately, the ones that I can remember were: one ppr in late December for 2020 November applicant, around 3 pprs during last two weeks for applicants from, may not be accurate: 2020 october, april and december. there are definitely more pprs out there, as these are the cases from applicants that I personally know.

in general, Hong Kong has sent out IMEs and ADRs at the same time and the lasted bunch was for applications from march to April, 2021. Applicants from May and June 2021 has got their AORs back in june 2023, but all waiting for ADRs and IMEs.

haven't heard anyone applied after june 2021 has got their AoRs, except one from august 2021 said he got his Aor 5 month ago, which i still have doubt about.

that's pretty much what's going on for applicants from China now. I believe there will be a massive pprs within next 2-3 months for applicants from 2020july to 2021 april and that will also be the time when ircc resume Aor issuance.

Thanks so much for the updates! It’s encouraging to see progress for 2020/2021 applicants and several PPRs from 2020!! :D

Just curious - Those of you who have received ADR recently and were asked to provide an updated IMM-5562 Supplementary Information Your Travels, were you able to sign the PDF online or did you just type your name into the signature field?

Are there any UK applicants here? I am fed up with this - the UK, as per usual, is slow as f*** at doing anything. My application had AOR in March 2023, and then in August 2023 the office said they received it in UK. Since then, nothing. Now, I'm overtaken by a number of other applicants from many different places.

Just one of the reasons I've left UK.

You are right, London office takes longer to process files compared to other offices, usually from 8 months to a year from AOR to receive the medical request

Thanks for sharing your timeline!

Did you get notification that your medical was passed? And additional documents received? If so on what date?

Have background checks and eligibility etc been passed?

Fingers crossed you get your COPR soon!
