Dont get panicked.
Its normal, they are asking if you have any other dependants not mentioned in the PR application.
I guess you dont have any undeclared dependants.
Now wait for the email from the spousal VO. They will ask for documents or may not.
The rest is systemetical.medical,pre arrival and PPR.
Some where i read your comment about IPP special project.
If that person is you, be sure that your spousal file will process at a fastest rate.
Do Parents are dependent and do we need to include in application

Congratulations brother!
IPP: Integrated Pilot Project. People classified under this program are somehow lucky as I read in this forum. Somehow the processing time for their PR is in a way shorter than others (this is my understanding I hope if I am mistaken someone will correct me).
It is good news brother.

Dear all,

Thanks for your wish and reply. I feel I have to say something about the pilot project that we were part of since December 2019. The pilot project is called “Centralized Concurrent Processing Pilot” which is designed to run for one year from December 2019 to December 2020. I think they are conducting a study before they put in place for future timeline for permanent residency.

But from my reading and information I got from IRCC client support agents, this Pilot project is intended for to process both principal applicant and dependents files all together here in Mississauga at CPC (case processing Centre). “Through the Centralized Concurrent Processing Pilot, the IRCC Case Processing Centre in Mississauga will process the applications for permanent residency of both the protected person and their overseas dependent family members.” IRCC website.

That way, they want to eliminate all back and forth communications with the overseas visa office. So my dependents were asked to submit all the documents to CPC office here in Mississauga, not to the visa office overseas.

And I have been told many times by the client support agents that the project does not necessarily make the principal applicant’s permanent residence application faster. What it makes a difference is on dependents timeline which means once the principal applicant becomes PR, simultaneously/concurrently dependents overseas also become PR. So it is designed to shorten the waiting time for overseas dependents. That being said, IRCC can complete PR applications shorter than 20 plus months. I hope IRCC is working and you will get your PR sooner.

I wish you all best of luck.
Hi brother I have seen your posts that you were selected for pilot project. How long it took to get your pr approved?
