Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

- Start date
Hi, My father did his medical on early week of June (in Canada) for the visitor visa extension(visitor record). He is in Canada with supervisa and got stamped during Canada immigration for 6 months by CBSA. we did a visitor extension for another 1.5 years and it was approved on June , 2019. However, I applied for his PGP as well and both SA and PA status is showing application received on May 15. Now my question is, does he need to do his medical for PGP again as he did his last medical for visitor record on 1st week of June?

@OKTree you mean weren't able to see your ECAS status yesterday? Only today you can see your application details in ECAS right?
Also did you use your UCI number to see details in ECAS or your parents/principal applicant's UCI?
Thanks
I am afraid this MAY not correct.

Do I need a medical exam to apply for permanent residence, if I’ve already had one for my permit?
Yes. Even if you had a medical exam previously, all applicants for permanent residence must have a medical exam.
A medical exam is needed to make sure that:
- you pose no health risk to the Canadian public and
- neither you nor a family member will place too much demand on Canada’s health, education and social systems.
So happy for you guys who are having so much progress in your application, but kinda frustrated at the same time that CIC seems halt on processing applications after mid-May
Yesterday I gave CIC a call again...another 28min wait time. Came across a really nice lady who told me my files are still in perspective stage.

General template of pre arrival letter looks something like this:

Hello, We are pleased to inform you that you, your xxxxxx can now receive free pre-arrival services funded by the Government of Canada. These services are available before you arrive and are meant to better prepare you for life in Canada. Pre-arrival services are provided on behalf of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) by settlement service provider organizations.
These service providers offer free information to help you with:
• Living and working in Canada;
• Getting your education, work experience, and professional licenses and certificates recognized in Canada;
• Connecting with employers, and with free supports when you arrive in Canada, including language training; and
• Connecting with others in your new community, including French-speaking communities.
If you are outside Canada, we strongly recommend that you use pre-arrival services before you leave. We encourage you to explore the list of services on the IRCC website:
canada.ca/pre-arrival-services. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/before-services.asp?utm_source=slash-pre-arriv al-services&utm_medium=short-url&utm_campaign=general
When you register for pre-arrival services with one of the service providers listed on the website, you will be asked to provide a copy of this letter. You can contact as many service providers as you like and receive as many services as you need, and these services are always at no cost to you.
You are also encouraged to take advantage of free Government of Canada resources available online, such as Welcome to Canada, the official handbook to help permanent residents prepare to come and settle in Canada. The handbook is available at cic.gc.ca/publications
Canada is a bilingual country where both English and French are spoken. If you are interested in living in a French-speaking community outside Quebec, please visit

Yeah, I checked last night at ~11:00 pm PST and got nothing. This morning I checked again, around 6:00, and both SA and PA said application received on May 15th. But I cannot link my application yet (and I haven't received any AOR email)...
