Hi there - we're in the same boat waiting for approval even after finally getting the medical request at the end of last year. Your partner can apply for a visitor extension while in Canada before visitor status expires. apply for a visitor extension while in Canada. This will allow your partner to stay in the country even while it's being processed ("implied status"). My wife applied for one in June 2020 before her initial status expired in August, and finally got approved on December 27 2020 for an additional year, until December 2021.Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has received their medical request in the past few months and if anyone has been approved since *Mississauga office*? My partner completed his medical about 1 month ago and everything else is complete so we are now just waiting on the final approval.
Curious if anyone has any ideas on how much longer this could be?
Also, is anyone's partner here as a visitor during the pandemic? Mine is here as a visitor, so he is only allowed to be here for 6 months. We might not get approval in time, in which case we will be applying for an extension so that he can stay. Has anyone else done this? Was it seamless or did you face issues? Note that he is British and only required an ETA to come here.
Thanks for any feedback!!
