June 2024 - Inland Spousal Sponsorship

[megastuart]

An update: September 3rd I was asked to give my biometrics. I made an appointment online for the next day and it went quick an easy. They sent my collected biometrics directly through their system so I just had to show up!

Have you received any update since BIO submission?

Have you received any update since BIO submission?

No, absolutely nothing. My spousal sponsor is a citizen, Quebec.

edit: never mind, I just found out that we actually heard from IRCC on Jul 3rd, with the following text:
"This confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on 2024/06/05 on behalf of the following member(s): ..."

Is that the AOR I've been waiting for??

Yessir! That's your AOR

Great news! This morning I actually received the email asking me to take the medical examination!

There's this official website to find panel physicians:
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/PanelPhysicianMedecinDesigne/en/Home

I booked an appointment in just 4 days in Ottawa for $260. There's another one in my area offering the exam for $320 but we went with the cheaper one. They do blood and urine tests and an x-ray.
