Hello All.
Any update after overseas family medical done? My family did medical in OCT 2024 since then no news even though my application is in Pilot program and I got my PR in OCT 2024.
Any idea how much time would it take to receive PPR after medical for overseas family?
This is very normal. Tough to estimate timelines given so many changes going on with immigration.

Hi,
They got eligibility and Pre Arrival in April 2024 . I also got mine done in the same month.
What mentioned in your eligibility letter that overseas office will process your dependent application. I am in the same situation my dependent done medical in November after that no news.

Is your application is in Pilot Program and which November your family had medical Nov 23 or 24?
When did you become PR? All stages passed for your family?

Yes, My wife faced the interview alongwith two 18+ boy. When visa officer had any sorts of confusion in his mind ( about anything) but he couldn't take any concrete decision,that time they arranged a formal interview( which is rare). You need to prepare her for all sorts of questions. But "relationship status" generally is the main part, but in my case it was other issues. I think i have few interview questions somewhere in my laptop which was really helpful.
Try search the forum " Spousal Interview", view them and train your wife according to those questionaire.
