We had the same experience as you... It took us 3 weeks to get the results of the medical, and the whole time we were waiting it said "action required". The "action required" status changed once we got the results, but it did take 3 weeks.
We received SA and AIP today! So happy things are finally moving.
Here's our timeline:
Jan 7 - Application Received
March 3 - AOR
Aug 8 - Work Permit
Sept 30 - Biometrics Requested
October 15 - Medical Exam Requested
October 20 - Medical Exam
October 23 - Biometrics Phone Call
November 5 -...
Hi there, I'm about to submit my application and am stuck on the new biometric requirements as of Dec 3, 2019. For those who applied in December inland, did you pay the biometric fee? Do you pay it for both the OWP + the spousal PR or just once? Thanks!
