Yes - "Your dependents can’t arrive in Canada before you. They must arrive with you or after you." Source: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=343&top=14

In your and @ZOYAMAN13 's cases I'd suggest that your parents (one of them being principal applicant) complete the landing first and become Canadian PRs. Your younger sibling could then come over as an immediate family member (dependent child) of your parents on a later date. They just need to...

Thank you for the warm regards! You are not far away from the good news and hopefully your background check is cleared soon - best of luck!

Quick status update from my end - Decision Made for PA today (PGP-2019 stream) :cool:

@YULIA-2016 @robertp @laxsun @jayeshaminnew @serious_cheese please kindly update the tracker timeline under username "jackhcd": Biometrics Request: June 15, 2020 Biometrics Completion: July 03, 2020 Pre-Arrival Service Letter: July 15, 2020 (correction) Decision Made for PA: August 24, 2020...

Yes, though you may get a sense of how things go based on GCKey and eCAS. Once your medical is cleared it'll be reflected on your GCKey as "Medical Passed on XXX Date". The background check status will remain the same ("we are processing your BG check etc") until the issuance of COPR, and this...

No, ordering GCMS notes will not affect your file/application in any way.

Yes that's correct - though in rare cases applications could still be held up/refused due to medical/criminal inadmissibility.

First of all congratz on receiving your pre-arrival services letter - it implies the eligibility is passed. The medical request & background check (criminality, security...etc) are triggered at various stages and as such there's no correlation when it comes to specific timeframe or order (though...

I would interpret the rule differently - pretty sure immediate family members could come to Canada as COPR holders but they must meet the following rules: "You are exempt from the current travel restrictions and can come to Canada if you have a valid COPR and: the COPR was issued on or before...

Recirculating my response to another post: "Do I need a medical exam to apply for permanent residence, if I’ve already had one for my permit? Yes. Even if you had a medical exam previously, all applicants for permanent residence must have a medical exam." Source...

"Yes. Even if you had a medical exam previously, all applicants for permanent residence must have a medical exam." Source: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=381&top=29 "You can’t get an upfront medical exam if you’re being sponsored as a spouse, partner or child. Wait for...

I requested on Aug 03 and received it today, exactly 2 weeks.

Just about 2 weeks ago, for my common-law. Received in mail on Friday.

About 2 weeks from recent experience

Based on the tracker some individuals receive Medical requests after pre-arrival service letter. Unfortunately there's no defined timeline/order as it varies case-by-case.

The background check typically looks into applicant’s Security and Criminality. If you look into Admissibilities section of GCMS guide it’ll give you a quick idea what’s being checked: https://www.justforcanada.com/gcms-notes-understand-guide.html

Yes I believe the pre-arrival service letter is automatically triggered once the eligibility component is check marked (only applicable for outland applicants; inland applicants do not receive this letter). Based on personal experience, the eligibility and background check sections on GCKey...

Hi there, Congratz on your pre-arrival service letter - this implies the eligibility is passed. The application could still get denied if found inadmissible, such as not passing the background check (criminality + security) or medical. You are one step closer to DM & PPR though. :) "In October...

Similarly my background check status has been updated again to "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information" as of this morning. :cool:
