Hello friends,

I have added my spouse name in my ongoing express entry profile.And today I have got her biometric request. So does anone has an idea that vac center in INDIA is collecting the biometric or not ?
 
AOR: 8th Feb, FSW-O, USA.

Last week the Background Check changed to:
  • We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
and today the Medical date changed to (original medical were expiring Feb 2021):
  • January 21, 2021 You passed the medical exam.
Does anyone know how long Background Check would take for someone who has lived in US for past 15 years and has clean immigration history etc.?

Also, does this mean we don't need to take the medical exam? Are they sending PPRs or holding off despite everything being essentially complete?

Thanks much for your answers and best of luck! :)

Is your security passed? Yes, it means you do not need to take the medical exam again. No one knows how and when IRCC will send PPRs.
 
How long are GCMS notes taking these days? Last time i applied (Mid Aug) i received them within 30 days but apparently these days due to the high demand of GCMS notes, it's taking them over 90 days to respond, if even. Is this true?

I am not sure. The application says:
  • We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
and I've not ordered any GCMS notes etc. Wasn't sure if Ottawa has been giving out any PPRs to US FWS-O applicants recently.

Based on what they say about your medical exams it look like they have been extended. The only way of knowing for sure would be ordering the notes, but it may be unnecessary at this stage.
If they extended your medical exam it should mean that your application is about to receive PPR, but this is more like a guess than a fact. Applications can be in hold for months even if completed, but extending the medicals is a good sign!

Hi guys,

I got a GU today ( application/profile Updated, I am not sure if my lawyer received any email). Change in my profile is for medicals, initially it was March 2020 and now it’s showing - “you do not need a medical exam. We will send you a msg if this changes.

Does it mean that my medicals have been extended automatically? As new medical expiry date is not mentioned, does it mean my application can take longer?

I am so stressed out and this wait is killing me. Aor feb 2020, PNP inland. Many thanks, would appreciate your thoughts on this. Pls advise.

It doesn't get extended automatically, but at the officer's discretion, either renewed for a max of 1 year or asked for remedical. In a few cases, they did extend medical in the background without any reflection on the application portal. You could give it some time and then call IRCC/check through a webform/GCMS notes about your medical status. Sit tight and ATB!

Does everybody’s medical status changes to ‘ you do not need medical exam’ after the medical date expires ? Is that an automated change for every application?

Mine changed about a week after expiry, didn't seem like it was automatic and I did get a GU when it changed, my guess is someone had to look at it
