My friend is also waiting for FD after clearing all stages since February 28. Looks to me like you have to exercise a bit of patience.
Thank you for this point of reference! I ordered mine on 11th February and still haven’t received them, it used to be less than 30 days before!
Yeah but even there has been no update on work permit and it has been more than 6 months . Most of my stuff expired which i can't even renew cos of this and no update on PR is giving me anxiety i tried to raise webforms anf all but nothing helped
Hi there,
I have received the AOR last Feb-10-2025.
BIO and Police clearance for Colombia done Feb-21-2025.
I realized that my previous medical examination are valid, I contact my representative that is help me with the application, to check if we need to ask for a copy of those medical examination and submit via Webform, but they told that those medical records are linked to my UCI and we don't need to do anything. But I have noticed that some people mentioned that they sent again via Webform.
My question is if it is better to submit the medical before or just wait for the next step? Also my representative mention that they can ask for new medical test, but that does not make sense to me.
Thanks

I did not submit my previous medical records and they were automatically added to the system. You can submit them through webform, it wouldn't harm.
If you have medical sheet, go ahead and submit it through webform. Don't listen to your representative. That expired medical is still valid so better to send them.
Once the security check is completed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and passed to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the timeline for a final decision can vary. However, here’s what typically happens:
1. Final Review: IRCC conducts a final review of your file to ensure all aspects, including eligibility, medicals, criminality, and security, are met.
2. Officer’s Decision: If everything is in order, an immigration officer will make a final decision on your application.
3. Passport Request (PPR): If approved, you will receive a request for your passport or a confirmation of permanent residence (COPR).
4. Possible Delays: The timeline can be influenced by factors like the complexity of your case, internal processing times, and the workload of the responsible visa office.
Many applicants report receiving a decision within 2 to 8 weeks after security clearance. However, some cases can take longer, especially if additional background checks or documentation are required.
Since your security was completed by CBSA and IRCC acknowledged it, you might be nearing the final stages. You can follow up through webform inquiries or call IRCC for updates.
If you are the principal applicant and your spouse is included as a dependent in your permanent residency (PR) application, your spouse can typically only travel to Canada after the PR application is approved and you both receive the Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) or a visa, depending on your country of origin.
However, if your spouse holds a valid temporary visa, such as a visitor visa, study permit, or work permit, they may be able to travel to Canada while your PR application is still in process. Keep in mind:
1. Dual Intent: Your spouse must demonstrate that they intend to leave Canada if their temporary status expires, even though they have a pending PR application.
2. No Impact on PR Application: Entering Canada on a temporary visa will not affect the processing of your PR application.
3. Border Officer’s Discretion: The final decision on entry rests with the CBSA officer at the port of entry.
If your spouse does not have a valid temporary visa, they must wait until your PR application is approved.
The notes from your GCMS suggest that your file is currently awaiting a Centralized Processing Officer (CPO) review, which is common when additional scrutiny is needed for certain elements of your application. Here’s a breakdown:
1. Eligibility Review Required: This indicates that an officer flagged some aspect of your eligibility for further review. This could be due to the previous study permit refusal or other factors related to your work experience, education, or other supporting documents.
2. Criminality and Security Checks Ready for Review: These checks have likely been completed and are awaiting the CPO’s final assessment.
3. Schedule A (IMM5669) Issue: The fact that you answered “No” to the denial of entry question, despite flagpoling, may have triggered the review. However, since you provided an explanation in the description section, this could work in your favor. Officers understand that applicants can sometimes misinterpret the questions, and your transparency in the additional information section helps clarify your intent.
4. Etobicoke Visa Office (PVO): This office often handles more complex cases or those requiring additional scrutiny, which could explain the longer processing time.
What to expect next:
• The CPO will review your eligibility and the Schedule A form.
• If they require additional documents or clarification, they may issue a procedural fairness letter (PFL). However, this is not guaranteed and depends on the severity of the concern.
• If everything is satisfactory, your eligibility will be marked as “Passed,” and the application will proceed to the final decision stage.
Recommendations:
• Order updated GCMS notes in about 1-2 months to track progress.
• Consider a webform submission to explain the misunderstanding and provide supporting documents or clarifications.
• If you haven’t already, consult with an immigration consultant or lawyer, especially if you feel the previous refusal could impact the outcome.
Your situation is not uncommon, especially for non-Express Entry streams like the OINP. Here’s a breakdown of what could be happening and what steps you can take:
1. Incomplete IMM5604 Form Submission: Since IRCC requested an updated IMM5604 form and you submitted it in November, this could have caused some processing delay. When additional documentation is requested, the application often goes back into the queue for reassessment.
2. Background and Security Checks: Your GCMS notes indicate that eligibility is under review and security is complete. The review process can sometimes take longer for certain applicants, especially if there are prior refusals or flagpoling incidents, as in your case.
3. Pre-Arrival Letter (PAL) and P1 Status: Since you’re applying from within Canada, you’re correct that you will receive the PAL first, followed by P1. The PAL is often issued once eligibility is passed, but if there’s a review required, that could be causing the delay.
4. Processing Times Variability: While other applicants who applied later may have received decisions, timelines can vary due to factors like the complexity of the case, the workload at the processing office (Etobicoke, in your case), and security screening.
