Hello,
I applied for permanent residence (PR) with my spouse, who is outside Canada, in February 2022. I received my PR in November 2023, and my spouse received a pre-arrival letter and medical request in December 2023. It’s now January 2025, and we haven’t heard anything regarding my spouse’s application. The visa office in Lebanon and the Canadian embassy there haven't provided a clear timeline.

Has anyone else experienced delays like this? The embassy never gives a specific timeframe, and I’m looking for advice on what steps to take next. Anyone still waiting specifically from Lebanon

If you have dependents abroad you may receive email information you that their file has been transferred to Visa Office assigned to your country of origin

and then you will wait for P1,P2, eCorp and PR Card consecutively.

its not that difficult you didn't mention where you dependants are located. in that email they give you the link to check the process in your country. i am sharing it for you here

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how.html

select your country and apply it once you have it reply to that email and also sent a webform.

I called the call center because both my file and my dependent’s file have completed the background check. However, there is a medical exam outstanding for my dependent. The call center agent advised me that he should take the medical exam in advance. Have any of you heard about this?
