hi, considering everything going on IRCC was quite fast with AOR, medical requests and biometrics all within 5 weeks or so. this was in july 2021. The children didnt have passports at the time we submitted the sponsorship and getting them passports in the philippines was a long and painful task which ended up delaying them to do their medicals and biometrics (bescause they couldnt do them without passports). they just completed their medicals on 27th november and 1 of them will be doing the biometrics in 2 days.
Aprox timeline
File submitted May 30th 2021
AOR Jul 2021
biometrics, medical requests and pre-arrival all in august 2021
Nov 2021 medicals completed and awaiting for ECAS to update with "medical results have been received" IRCC seems to be on the ball with dependant children sponsorships. you shouldnt have any issues. keep me posted!
