I would think covid has caused some delays so we just have to be patient. Based on posts on their website applications will still be processed however there may be some delays or a bit slower than the usual.
****OCTOBER 2019 Inland Spousal Sponsorship****

- Start date
If she meets the requirements for EI she can apply for that. EI is not considered financial benefit and will not affect your application
Second this. I'm seeing a lot of people ask this same question in the time of Coronavirus, so know what you are not alone. EI is not considered assistance in the Sponsor/PA immigration sense of the term. Also, sorry to hear about your wife's employment situation.
Hi,
I hope you are all doing well at those difficult times of COVID-19.
I have also applied for PR in October 2019 and followed the posts here, but I have just registered on this forum now. I've seen that some of you were wondering whether we would have to give biometrics. I have received my AOR on December 13 and I have ordered GCMS notes in January. While I couldn't find anything in the notes that was particularly interesting (it was way too early to apply), I have seen that the status for Biometrics is "Assessment: Exempt - Pub Pol. (In-Canada)". IRCC could probably change this again at any time, but at least it seems like that when my application was put in the system on December 12, they have still made the decision to grant an exemption based on the date they originally received it.
I hope this helps!

Hello all ,
Below is the timeline for my spouse sponsorship application
Application Type :- Inland Spouse Application
Applied:- October 2019
Open Work Permit application approved :- Feb 2020.
Medical received :- 15th March ,2020
Query :- Due to ongoing COVID-19 conditions most of the authorized doctors clinic are closed and not accepting the new appointments for Medical examination and I am also reluctant to go for medical examination during ongoing high risk time .
As per the letter received from Immigration ,my wife has to complete the medical examination within 30 days of receiving the instruction for medical examination so my wife has to go for medical examination by 15th April,2020 .
But looking at the ongoing trends of COVID-19 , it does not seems to slow down by 15th April.
I tried calling CIC call center but they are also closed due to current scenarios
I sent my query to cic through online webform on Thursday and awaiting the response .
I appreciate if anyone else in this group is in similar situation or they have any information on COVID 19 update by CIC.
Take care and be safe

I think there is an automatic extension of 90 days to comply with requests in light of the covid situation. However, if the directions are not clear I would inform them via webform of the inability to get an appointment and will do so as soon as the offices reopen and as soon as you get an appointment you send proof via webform. Also note it takes a week or so for them to respond to you via webform. See links below with bulletins issued by IRCC

Thank you very much for prompt reply . Yeah I also read the same on the above links and I am relying on this information
"Applications will not be refused for non-compliance, and all applications currently in progress at IRCC offices abroad, at case processing centres and within the Domestic Network will continue to be processed but may experience delays. "
But to be on safer side I have sent webform to CIC and hopefully will get the response coming next week.
I would appreciate if anyone else have more information or going through similar scenario please provide your valuable comments
Thanks
Hi, i am going through same thing . My medical request came on 15th march n i booked an appointment on 20th mar at Toronto base physician.but got cancelled cuz of covid 19.n my 2nd appointment at different physician on 2nd April also got cancelled cuz of the same reason.my lawyer dont agrees with me that we need to inform cic about my delay as it is common knowledge. But then i see ppl whose medical request came on same date as me, already done it n even passed it. So should i call cic myself n inform them? because my lawyer is not going to it.
The call centre is closed. I recall seeing a posts to that effect. There is an automatic extension from 30 to 90 days to complete medicals and biometric requests. They ask that contact be made with them via webform but only where necessary. A few posts above I posted the links from CIC website which details how applications are currently being handled so you can check those out for guidance
Hi gang, I have a question for you all. I know a lot of you have received your OWPs, but am wondering if anyone has heard of the following situation:
After 5+ months of waiting for my OWP, I sent a webform the other day asking about it's status. Today I received an email from IRCC stating that "We verified the information on file. However, it has been determined that you do not meet the eligibility criteria." (I have read and re-read the eligibility requirements, and don't understand why or what makes me ineligible. But that's besides the point of my post).
However, in my GCKey my OWP Application status still says "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you."
Wouldn't my GCKey be reflective of a rejection if this were the case? And wouldn't IRCC send me a rejection email (and hopefully reason why), other than just an answer to my webform submitted inquiry? Or am I to take the email message as the final decision? I haven't tried calling yet, wanted to post here to see if anyone had any insight.
Thanks guys!

Hi. Ive heard there is slow communication between the IRCC contact centre (phone and webform) and the actual Work permit processing office in Edmonton. I would say the email decision is final and that they haven't updated it on your status yet. You could send another email asking which criteria you didn't meet.
Could you remind me of your status when you applied...
Visitor with eta or visitor visa?
Entry to Canada via land or airport?
Did you have a stamp in your passport on arrival?
And the date of your application received.
