It will most likely be valid to one year anniversary of medical, IE roughly march or April 2022 (depending on date medical was completed not requested)

Congratulations! That was very fast! Your spouse should arrive to Canada by the time your medical exam expires (valid for 1 year). May I ask primary applicant's country of origin?

Thank you dominic. Yes absolutely, we are both Turkish.
we did hire a lawyer to make sure we weren't missing any paperwork and we had multiple reviews - not sure if that helped with fast responses however I was not expecting anything until Jan 2022 based on speed they were processing the applications...
hopefully everyone's application will get responses as fast from now onwards..

Guys I know I keep posting similar things, but please continue sharing your time line especially if you got an update after medical results were received. This is very helpful mentally for those who have been waiting for a long time due to covid.

Probably it doesn't mean much. They might have a 2 stage process for all files and the first can be a high level quick assessment to make sure nothing is missing and the 2nd stage might be about making a decision. This is just my guess, but from what I read it doesn't look as smth to be worried about. They may also send the file to other VO for preliminary assessment. Please let us know your time line.

Hi,
I got Pre-Arrival, Decision made, and Passport Request on 6th of July. The Visa office received it on 12, Jul.
my question is that when they return the passport with PR visa, will they issue and send the CoPR simultaneously? Or I should expect getting the CoPR in other means, like Email?

The COPR and visa will be returned to you together.

Your situation seems to be unique as I haven't heard of anyone paying for an authorisation to return to Canada. Are you from a visa exempt country? Or I misunderstood smth? We applied for spousal sponsorship in August, 2020, passed medical exam in February and haven't received any updates afterwards. I tried filling a web form, but received only a standard reply saying application is still being processed.

Yes my case is different because when I was in Canada I got removal order that’s why I paid arc and removal cost fee.
