Wow I didn’t expect to hear that, that is great news! Did they request criminal at the same time as your medical request?
It’s a very lengthy process it’s been 3 years in April since we started. It will be a great relief when this is all over!

Yes they requested the updated documents including medical and criminal. Usually designated doctors have access to the system. They just upload the result. So crossing fingers now to finish everything and to get the passport request. My process now: medical and interview passed. Criminal didn’t start yet.

our application started on January 2018, refused on April 2018, full hearing october 7th, 2019; accepted on the same day; confirmation 2 weeks after; email for updated documents after one week

I started in April 2017, denied April 2018. I had two hearing dates since the translator did not show up for the first half day hearing in June 2019. Then a second full day hearing on September 30th. It has been a mess, I’m not sure if the criminals have been processed yet I’m not sure how to check that information online.
Fingers crossed everything moves quickly for you!

Thanks

Applied Sep 2017
Denied Nov 2018
Appeal DEC 2018
Appeal Won Nov 2019
Request and Resubmit All Docs Jan 2020
Background check started Last Week and Today get the letter for PPR

But PPR letter is to send the passport to Ottawa Office in Canada although my spouse lives in Pakistan so I sent them email to send me instructions for Pakistan. They mentioned in the letter if your nearby office is not Ottawa, send us an email so we send new instructions.

But Finally wait is Over. I will update soon Inshallah when getting the visa on the passport.
