Hi all,
I submitted my PR application in Oct. 2020 through OINP PhD Graudate stream. The Immigration Office received my application on Oct. 07, 2020 and sent me the AoR email on July 1st, 2021. Since then, it has been another 5 months during which I received nothing from the Immigration Office. No request for any material, no movement to next step. I checked my GIC account, and it only shows a progress bar which is 68% complete until now. The estimated remaining processing time is still SEVEN MONTHs. I saw many folks in this thread have progressed to next steps or even got approved for their PR application, so I was concerned. Could anyone let me know whether my current status is normal? Is there anything I can do to help accelerate the processing speed?
BTW, my application status said that "You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.". Do I need to take an upfront medical exam? Or I just wait for their message?
Thanks in advance!
