Dear all, do you guys have any idea of how long it might take to receive BIL for dependant after submitting the requested forms and additional documents?

Update: just a couple of days after that, her original UCI also got added (with Biometrics number attached) => so in Dependents section, there are 2 rows (2 UCIs) for the same spouse, one of which has Bio number
And 2-3 more days, the same biometrics number is attached to the remaining UCI. So I guess it's okay now, hopefully, there is no mess behind the scene
I'm so happy at the speed IRCC is taking so far I pray that I also get BIL this week.

Well I don't know... These days IRCC has become so unpredictable. I still await my spouse's addition to my application and I hope it comes with a BIL immediately

Dear all, do you guys have any idea of how long it might take to receive BIL for dependants after submitting the requested forms and additional documents?
Can't say for sure. In my case, it took IRCC 4 months to send a BIL after adding my spouse to the application whereas some received it within a few days of the spouse being added to the application. So, you never know.

Good day ***,
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Please note that this is in response to the enquiries received below. We verified the information you provided and can confirm that your application is in process. At this time, all required documents and information have been received by the responsible office.
Due to COVID-19, IRCC is experiencing processing delays and we can't give accurate processing times for most types of applications. We're currently prioritizing applications from people who are exempt from travel restrictions.
We understand that this may be a difficult time for you and we are here to assist you by providing you with the information we have available at this time. If you've already applied, we invite you to visit our website to check your application status. Client Support Centre agents cannot give you more information than what is already in your online account or in the Client Application Status tool.

Complex applications take more time to process. It will also take longer to process an application if we need you to submit extra documents. Rest assured that we are making all the necessary efforts to finalize your application as soon as possible, and that you will be informed when a decision is reached or if additional information is needed.
IRCC is working on giving you the most updated information as the situation evolves, and all our efforts are dedicated to answering your concerns.
Our website is updated regularly as more information is made available. Given these circumstances, we invite you to continue visiting our website regularly to receive up-to-date information as new announcements are made and to obtain information on travel restrictions and changes to our services that may affect you.

So safe to say that IRCC has seen all my add-on documents as they were one of the many referenced Web forms in these emails.
I'm constantly praying for my spouse to be seen in my application page and for BIL for my husband to be issued.

Following your story...
this means your spouse has not been added to your PR yet right? (Under the UCI/Bio/Name section in your profile)
...
I'm asking because since my spouse appears in my profile, can I safely assume that the responsible office has received AND processed my add-on documents?

I should very much think so. Because once your spouse has been processed I guess they add your spouse to your application. Maybe @legalfalcon can shed more light on this

@legalfalcon @maghool71 pls help me answer this query. So once my spouse is included in my application what is next? Is it BIL for spouse? and after that, what is next?
I'd like if you guys could just help itemize what other steps to follow cos at this moment, I thought after the RFV email one should be thinking of just landing in Canada

Does anybody know if you get your medical report once you give out your exam at the hospitals in India. My Clinic in the US sent me a copy of my medical results within 2 days but I was told here that for my spouse, the embassy will likely send us the copies. Haven't received any such thing yet. The medical exam was in mid December for my spouse.

All emails responded to are from several Web forms spanning the period of two months. When I feel upset in not been answered I send the same Web form through different routes
1. Nigeria
2. Accra
3. Canada-processing Centre
4. I pick the option of my application is processed in Canada


That way issues like my application was not received won't occur. And then I wait (and this is the hard part). I feel I upset ircc that they had to respond to me seven times saying the same thing in slightly different ways


Dear I'm still waiting for them to finally put my pouse in my application because all these add-on started in April, 2021 and we are almost reaching a year anniversary

Hi,
Is it legal to connect with IRCC agents online and ask about the application?

With some research on the replies to my webforms, I could find my case processing agent.
