Nowadays they do start checking medical, criminality, and security of the PA right after AOR, in parallel to sponsor eligibility review.

The pre-arrival letter is mostly useless to inland applicants.

Here is the link to web form. https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx Hey I came here from the spreadsheet and I noticed we have a very similar timeline. You can call IRCC to see if there is any special notes left on your file by the visa officer.

I finally got med passed on Feb 28. The clinic I went to was a bit slow. nothing else from IRCC. Is the Montreal visa office handling all the QC applications?

Not normal. You can call IRCC to see if they have at least received your application.

You can apply for an ITN instead. Almost all new international students do tax return with this number. https://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/finances/taxes/individual-tax-number-itn/apply-individual-tax-number-itn

No need to pay it again if you have already paid for it. They send this reminder to everyone. It is generic.

April 9th of 2020 applicant. CSQ requested on Dec-31- 2020, sent on Jan-02-2021, approved on Feb-08-2021

A bit update from my side (April 9th applicant), CSQ is approved on Feb 8th, then got med request on Feb 10.

Most applicants got OWP approval around the same time of their sponsorship AOR. You can call IRCC to check on your OWP application.

For family sponsorship, MED usually is requested right after AOR & Bio. Now with IRCC waives BIO for applicants who already got BIO from previous temp residence application, MED can be right after AOR. So, not a strange thing for sister's case.

They are two BG checks. The BG check for PR will be more thorough than the OWP one, but there is a possibility of overlaping.

Very sorry to hear what happened to you. It is terrible. Did you receive any email such as the bio fee reminder? Was your unit number included in the email? I agree with the above replies that your rep must have made mistakes in your application that caused the return and the false address...

Congrats! That is less than two months, not too bad! May I ask how many days between AOR and CSQ invitation for your case?

Hi, it is better to wait until you have your AOR from IRCC. Then you can send in a web form to change destination province. IRCC will send you an email of instruction. Usually, 1. the sponsor will have to submit an undertaking application to MIFI (Quebec immigration bureau) 2. after MIFI...

just got AOR today. Timeline in signature. :)

I agree. Also take into account that all spouse sponsorship applications are paper-based, which does not work so well with the work-remotely fashion amid a pandemic.

Probably gonna turn to delivered tomorrow morning. It happened to me a few time. And now during the outbreak, things all slow down a bit. I mailed my application on Sunday afternoon, still in transit now.

Couldn't agree more with you. Also the policy of immigration in Quebec is not in a stable stage, things could change any day.
