I'm the dependent, my VO is Beirut. my husband is the principle applicant, his VO was montreal.
Have you sent any application to IRCC for fast process?
Or you also had threats in your home country that accelerated the process

2:Has your husband's PR been done?

Does the processing time of dependents depend on that of the principle applicant’s? Meaning will our application take more time because my father’s took less time?

Hello everyone,
I have an update today. Here are old and new updates. The main applicant is me and the applicant according to this process is my son.

2022-11-16: PR application submitted through PR Portal, for me as main applicant; I added: my wife, and two kids ,11 and 6 years old (all in Toronto), and my other son who lives in Iran but his age at that time was 25. I asked them to consider my 25 years child as a dependent child (well documented).
2023-05-25: I received a letter as an email with G000… file number that asked for recompleting the Schedule A form for me and my wife. In addition, they asked for a Police Certificate from a country other than my original country.
2023-05-25: AOR
2023-06-29:
After 2 days of challenging, I could connect the application to GCkey Account. The account shows me, my wife and two children with us in Canada but nothing from the 26 years old son.
2023-12-08: I received Invitation to Pre-arrival services in my GCKey account (useless).
2023-12-11: Finally, and surprisingly, my son in Iran received an email as Medical Examination Instructions with a separate G000 file number.
2023-12-14:
Medical Examination done.
2023-12-14: I and my son both received same emails according to my son for his newly completed Forms Generic Application Form [IMM0008] - Schedule A [IMM5669] - Supplementary Information – Your Travels [IMM5562] - Additional Family Information [IMM5406] and Police Certificates, Passport Copies, and Birth Certificates (all his document already had been uploaded on 2022-11-16 ).
2023-12-18: I received an email:

It is more likely that PR for the PA be received after 8 months approximately after eligibility letter that says "Dependents listed above have received or will receive a document checklist shortly". I hope you get there soon!!! be positive

Good morning all.

I applied for GCMS notes for my application which was received in March 2020. In the notes I noticed that the file has not been updated since last year. The only update there was that the file is in que for review.
Criminality. Passed
Security not started
Medical not started
Eligibility in progress.
I did a upfront medical which expired last year though.
This has been the same status for years now.
Also I noticed that the application was sent to about 5 countries for review. Only 2 has responded while others are still there.
I have passed processing time with about 3 months. No update, still.
Sent several mails and webform no response.
VO Accra Ghana.
Anyone with updates from Ghana yet?
