The wait for AOR1 and SA is pretty ok for the most part. It's after SA that the wait seems never ending and you have no idea what to expect or when you're going to hear from them again...

Yes. Each case is different so do not panic. Some members from Jan submissions are still waiting to medical request, just to give you a sense of timelines.
It is crazy how inconsistent the timelines can be

Since most people don't get the email to submit schedule A and police clearance although when we call CIC agents they say that they had asked for them but do you have any idea how many days do they usually provide to submit these documents. Thanks
30 days from the day correspondence was sent. Why not submit thru web form like many of us did, whether they have requested it yet or not. If they request for it thru CIC again, then u will still be fine

Can anyone confirm if it's normal that my wife hasn't got medical requests after SA on April 21?
I haven't gotten medical request yet either.
Some people are lucky and have it requested for by Mississauga before file transfer, others like me will receive it from VO as it used to be.
So no need to panic, every case is different

I actually have a theory that CIC does this on purpose, so there can never be an exact "formula" per se to get permanent residence, which makes it much more difficult to manipulate the system.

Thanks for your kind reply. Actually i did submit via IRCC webform but on the 20th day after they had sent a message asking for it which we were unable to interpret like many others until i read it on the blog and then confirmed via call centre and they said yes they have asked for it. They need atleast 10 business days to update via IRCC webform so do you think i will be fine or am i late caz if i send by courier it should still reach them within 30 days timeline as you are mentioning otherwise via IRCC webform update to happen i am unsure as it may be after the 30 days time frame. Also, would IRCC confirm once they attach the received form to the application or not? Kindly advise.

Yes you will be very fine.
IRCC will email you once the document is received but it is officer in charge of ur file that will attach it and you will not get any email on this, the officer will just move to d next step after attaching it. Don't worry, as long as ur PA hand sign and followed instructions, u will be fine

Many thanks again. When you say IRCC will email once document is received do you mean the auto reply from their system that is received immediately upon submission or is it a specific confirmation they send after few days. I received the auto reply already. Appreciate your kind clarification please.

Also interested in this issue. We received an auto-email immediately after submission. When I talked to an agent, she said it can take from 2-4 weeks to attach the submitted docs to your file. And normally they wont send anything. So the only way to confirm that is to call them...But if there will be an email sent - great!

If u got the automated reply then ur file has gone through ..but sometimes for some of us ircc emailed with another confirmation after 9 or 10 days saying that ur doc's will be forwarded to right office..but sometimes they dont send anything just attach that .. so if u dont receive anything from them then u can just check by calling the cic agents to know if they have received or not .. and as long as u upload the docs within timeframe u r safe .. coz ircc will see the date of uploading not the date of receiving ..

So, when you say "automated reply," you mean you got an actual automated email that confirmed your document was submitted through the webform? Because my PA has never received one of those when he sent through the webform... does that mean it hasn't gone through?

when I called the call centre, the agent told me there was no confirmation email. But I've clearly seen now that several of you have received one. I am so nervous that his document wasn't submitted properly.
