June 26th applicant here, background check has started over a month ago. Not heard anything since. Still waiting for the medical request.

No, I haven't :(. I hope to get my medical request by the end of January. I think the Christmas break delayed things quite a bit.

I want to clarify a few things - I have a valid eTA and OWP but my stamp in my passport (was valid for 6 months) expired. Does OWP allow me to stay legally in Canada for the time indicated in the document with an expired stamp in my passport that I got on the day of my entry to Canada? Sorry for...

Yes, it is. Mine changed its status approx after 5 months.

Yes, you do get a new ETA.

June applicant here - no med request. Only the background check started being processed. I think April/May applicants recently got their med requests.

No, it does not. It's Acknowledgment of Receipt. If you google that term "AOR cic canada" it will show you the whole definition. It basically means that you have paid all the fees right, gathered the right/updated documents/forms and they are proceeding with processing the whole application. The...

It doesn't necessarily mean that you got a new message. It could mean that let's say your Background check was Not Applicable and it changed its status to "Processing". I'd suggest looking closely at the table that shows up after you open your application. In my case when my background check and...

After 7th of December 2016 a new process was introduced which provides "faster" way to get PR approved. From what you said you are under the old process of obtaining PR. The new process is for applicants who applied after December 2016 and it is 12 months at this moment. I am not sure about the...

I didn't use any email. When you log in your CIC account on the top of the page is an option to "Report technical problem". It's next to the logout button. That's how I reported my issue.

I contacted IRCC about the glitch in applications that shows "Your action is required" after everything has been submitted. I got an answer today: Good day Client, Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The situation that you have described is the result...

I think it's better to be more honest. I personally included my 5 days stay in United States. It does take much more time to fill it up but I think it's better. If you do this right for the first time they won't be requesting more information. Which leads to more delays in processing your...

I got only OWP in the mail. ETA confirmation (confirming that it is still valid till 202x) was just sent to my e-mail.

It's a glitch. Don't worry about it. You aren't the only one :)

AOR = Acknowledgment of receipt - " We do not send an acknowledgement of receipt until we have opened your application and checked that it is complete " After you receive it you will get your application number and you will be able to link it in your CIC account. That would allow you to check...

I said it because I have never heard or seen that anyone would receive a checklist from IRCC. Therefore, I think you do not receive a checklist. After your application has been sent, you will receive AOR in 1-2 months. Later on you will be getting request letters to provide other...

Checklist is a document/form that you add for every application (OWP and PR, both of them have different checklists). I don't think you receive a checklist. If anything you are the one who is supposed to provide it in your application. The only thing you might receive is a Request Letter which...

I'm not sure about the numbers but the majority of inland applicants don't get to live "full time" with their partners. Me personally I was visiting my husband for a few months and then I was coming back to my country. This year I've decided to move to Canada for good. So the question is - are...

Do you live together with your husband? If yes then the spousal sponsorship class will be the right one. As a proof of some shared expenses here are some ideas: - If you are married, you might be able to show a proof of him/you paying for the marriage certificate (Marriage certificate receipt)...
