    I guess you're out of luck, since none of the suggestions seem to apply.

    Spouse didn't declare change of status in the Boarder when she landed as PR!

    Should've landed days earlier or married days later. Huge mistake. Bureaucracy at its best. Consider doing some university studies in Canada if you don't have sufficient points to apply to immigrate now.

    Ease my mind if you can please

    Faster way - check ECAS under your name (not your wife's). SA status will be listed there, either in process or decision made.

    Medical cost

    Look into taking a couple of days Canada - for free. I saw flights Toronto - Stockholm - Toronto on Wow air for under $400 CAD without luggage. A medical in Ontario is around $200. = Free holiday in Canada.

    Having Trouble Adjusting to Canadian Weather

    You could open up the outer coats once out of reach of your mom outside, until you're at a comfortable temperature (not sweating). It's nice that they're trying to make you comfortable adjusting to Canadian climate but maybe do some research on how people actually get sick with colds and flu...

    Any PRs from visa exempt countries - were you asked for PR card when flying?

    If your ETA is still listed valid chances are you'll get "board". But you're playing with fire as PR's ETA can be revoked literally any moment. You can risk it of course, but if you can't board what are you planning to do? Buy an expensive last minute ticket to a US border city and leg it...

    Did the CIC change the style of writing?

    The most important step is eligibility. Background check ties into eligibility, same as medical. Once they have your background check done they can decide on eligibility, and after that the final decision.

    Tourist visa (TRV) while in sponsorship application

    Of course many people tried this and many were successful. Many were unsuccessful. Depends on many factors - your wife's citizenship, reasons for visiting Canada, etc, etc. Just put in strong reasons why your wife wants to visit Canada with her Canadian child will leave Canada as planned and...

    Did the CIC change the style of writing?

    To worry people less perhaps. If you say " interview is not needed at THIS moment" some interpret it as there is another moment when it will be needed. They simplified it.

    Once PR Decision is Approved - what is the time frame for moving to Canada

    This question is only which province you want to live in immediately after landing. It does not require you to land immediately after receiving your approval. If your COPR is valid for some months after you receive the approval you can wait before landing. Your spouse could also land and return...

    Did the CIC change the style of writing?

    This update also took me by surprize, I thought status got updated, but no, they just changed text in all the fields, replacing them with longer explanations. Mine now says: Application status We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more...

    Does this constitute approval "In the email, they have mentioned that if she is in Canada, she can send the passport to CIC in Ottawa."?

    Mexico

    You can email the embassy telling them that you have already submitted medicals. See what they answer in a couple of weeks.

    Mexico

    Did you do medicals 6 months before submitting application? Yes, they evaluate medicals after AOR2, so pretty sure it's a request to redo if they're almost expired. In any case, you will need to have valid medicals at time of landing, so do it now.

    If you are OK with not leaving Canada for a year, apply for inland application, you can also get work permit with this, and should be able to stay for the duration of processing. If you need to leave Canada then apply for outland processing, this is without a work permit but will allow you to...

    Help! Marriage certificate

    To whom it may concern: I have obtained the police report from Lebanon as requested. I am forwarding the original document to you. I have also obtained a marriage certificate. As members of Druze religion, there are only around 1 million of us remaining in the whole world, so this complicates...

    Any PRs from visa exempt countries - were you asked for PR card when flying?

    Well the embassy still asked to provide countless documents proving that he resided in Canada all this time. Bank statements, utilities, etc. Then he had to find a computer with an internet connection and a printer (and if you visited Cuba you'd know about the near-impossibility of finding...
