Does the same email also appear in GCkey? and what email address did it come from? Me not getting emails is making me anxious. I just want to be sure that we don't miss this email.
1) No,
2) it came from cpc mississauga.

Does anyone know what happens if you are unable to get a medical appointment in the alotted time? There is only one approved doctor in our area and he can only give us an appointment after the 30 day time frame.

I have filled out a webform to ask for an extension but I keep reading they might refuse the application and I am really nervous, but do not know what other options we have. :(

Thanks!

I know this is not the right forum but I am asking how many of you have applied or thinking of applying the visitor visa for your spouse/partner?
Anyone who successfully got the visitor visa?
We were denied on the first application but approved the second time around

Do we have to take photograph and go to do medical exam? There is a spot for the photo in the form.. Thanks
It depends if the physician uses eMedical or not. Contact panel physicians in your area and ask, they should tell you exactly what you need.

it’s supposed to be an email to the sponsor from whichever visa office the transfer happened. But again no 2 cases are same. It may come from elsewhere or may not even come at all while everything is still perfectly smooth.

Glad to provide a bit of relief!

If that's the case, I would advise to just contact your representative to double check if they can link your application to GCkey using the application number that IRCC gave you from your previous phone call. You wouldn't want to be using your phone calls simply for AORs. Lol.
@jfbyap ,

My consultant was not able link the application without official AOR and wanted to charge me a fee for linking the case ahead of AOR. I am so pissed!!!! :(

There is still no AOR as of yesterday when I checked with lawyer, but this morning I got an update in ecas. it still shows in progress.

but something shows below:
  1. We received your application for permanent residence on June 11, 2019.
  2. We sent you medical instructions on August 23, 2019. To avoid delays, please provide us the information requested in the letter as soon as possible. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
What does this mean? does this mean Medical request? but we have not received our AOR yet??

I am a newbie, please someone enlighten me, after medical approved and SA, how long can it take to DM?
From DM how long will it take for PPR?

Thank you so much

I suggest you look at the tracker to see other people's timelines but yours might very well be entirely different for a bunch of immaterial reasons.
