My medical expires next month, I wonder if I'll have to do a new one as I'm actually already in Canada on a work visa while waiting for my spousal PR sponsorship to be completed. According to what I've read, applicants "may" be exempt from this if they are already in Canada, pose no significant...

It means you're now in their system for processing but you will have to wait a few months for them to look at your file and make a final decision about it.

Wow, they completed your eligiblity on the SAME day your first medical expired and requested you submit another one? Coincidence much! Call me cynical, but this sounds like a complete money spinner for them.

Why don't you try calling them? I managed to get through on Monday, you just have to click through the options to speak to someone and they also do callbacks if you don't want to wait. I managed to get some information regarding my case but that was mostly reassurance that everything was ok and...

No progress on mine since I received the CSQ last August. I have a work permit for 2 years too and still stuck in background check since I originally submitted my application a year ago (28 Feb). Everything else is completed so not sure why the excessive delay. My case wasn't complicated. Does...

Why the heck are they sending cases from London to Abu Dhabi???!

I think people who are subscribed to this thread will post updates when they have any news.

From what I've read in the past on this forum, that's happened for other people too. The tracker seems to be slow at updating sometimes. Interesting that you got the PR without any notification though. I guess one has to keep checking the post. We use a mailbox and only check it once a week or...

Sorry for delayed reply. To answer your question, my sponsor's eligibility is complete (has been since last April). All I see on my online tracker is my eligibility hasn't started and my background check in progress. My medical/biometrics was done last May, I have the Certificat du Quebec since...

Nothing from me (everything completed apart from background check). Utterly ridiculous it takes this long. I tried to call IRCC a few weeks ago to check the status of my application but it just confirmed (by automated message) what I can see already see on my file. I'm not even sure it's worth...

May I ask, how soon after you received the CSQ did you receive final approval of the application? I'm in the same position, I have a CSQ since August 2024 but now my application is stuck in background check (for me, I'm the applicant)

You are in Austria right? I would seek first and foremost local help regarding the abusive situation you have at home. "Escaping" the country to be with someone you haven't even met in real life is risky not to mention opening a whole new set of issues down the line if the relationship doesn't...

They will email your wife a letter requesting a medical to be done. If she hasn't received that (check spam folder just in case) then just wait to be asked.

I'm pretty sure you can travel between US and Canada while waiting for the spousal application to be processed (after you get the OWP approved). Just so long as you're not outside of Canada for TOO long a period. I'm in the same position, I have an ETA, my spousal application is quite far down...

Well I applied originally (with IRCC) end of February 2024. Applied for the Quebec side of things end of May 2024. Received CSQ in August 2024. Since then my application has been stuck in Background check, although I do now have a 2 year spousal work permit based on the success of my original...
