Good morning all, so my husband is from the philippines. I know biometric is now required for most asia country. On his gckey account there is a spot for biometric etc but we never gotten a request. Should we just go ahead and pay the fee and do his biometric or should we wait for the request ?!
You filed your application in December 2018 and biometric information is only requested for Asian applicants starting Jan 1, 2019. So you don't need to provide biometrics unless it is explicitly required by IRCC.

In this case i am the sponsor
Are you a citizen or PR? From previous posts you’d be fine with one week out of the country. Are you working for a Canadian company or an Indian company whilst there?

Congrats. When did you do the exam?
Medical was taken on 22nd.

PA is doing his medical exam today. Fingers crossed! Also how long does it take to know if you pass or not?
Congratulations! How long does it take for IRCC to approve the result after it was uploaded?
If the clinic uses eMedical then 2-3 days.

Hey. We called CIC today to ask why our application is taking so long and they told my husband that they are still on the October 9th and havent gotten to the December applicants yet. This forum suggests otherwise. I am not sure what to do now other than wait lol

Call center gives out misinformation all the time, take it with a grain of salt.

Update time folks -
medical received on Feb 25
Medical test given on Feb 21
Medical request on Feb 19
PA from India

Not sure whether PA passed or not as I hired a representative and I don’t have access to GCKey. Couple of questions:

Will ‘medicals passed’ be updated on ecas ?

Would there be an email for AOR2 or an update on ECAS?

How would I know the visa office where the file has been transferred to? Would this be on ECAS or AOR2?

What is the average timeline from medicals recovered to AOR2?

Look forward to hearing from the experts.

Cheers
Hari
