Just got a response from London about updates to the application after a month.
"While we continue to serve our clients, service disruptions and restrictions due to COVID-19 will have an impact on processing times."

Last time I message them it took 28 days to get response, they were slow before the COVID, now it will become ridiculously slow, unfortunately.

This is the IRCC official msg:

While we continue to serve our clients, service disruptions and restrictions due to COVID-19 may have an impact on processing times, and the current posted processing times may not be accurate. No application in progress will be closed or refused due to a lack of documentation or inability to complete the application process in time.

I don't know if this would help. I am from China. My dad went through the same thing. The sputum test was done at a designated hospital in November 2019. All information was sent from the panel physician to the hospital before my dad went for the test. He only need to mention his name and show the passport during the test and the result was sent back 8 weeks later to the panel physician directly. My dad actually got a phone call from the panel physician for the result, not the hospital who did the test (which is different from your case).

My dad was supposed to do another X-ray 3 months after the first medical test (in Feb 2020) required by the Panel physician. It got delayed as the panel physician office got closed due to Coronavirus Outbreak, but the result was uploaded within two days of the X-ray though (X-ray March 2, passed March 4). I don't think you need to worry about uploading anything based on my experience.

Still IP, no DM, no PPR since then.

Hope this can help. Good luck and stay safe.
x-rays can be completed longer than 3 months. The repeat x-ray just need to show the same lung issues or better lungs. When things reopen he can do the x-ray.

Please note that the biometric instruction letter (BIL) cannot be amended and will continue to advise applicants that they have 30 days from the date of the letter to give their biometrics. Officers should still allow 90 days for the applicant to provide their biometrics, despite the 30-day timeline identified in the BIL.

Hi All, Need your help. In the webform, when sending additional documents such as PCC, Travels form, CV etc,

Webform fields:
  • Type of Application: Sponsorship
  • Sub type: Family class, spouse, parents
  • Applicant: PA (Parent) and their details
  • Enquirer: Sponsor and his details
Is the above correct? Also, Representative form: No need to attach if already sent with the app?
