Thanks for reply!

You're right I don't know where the app is, I've had no contact since the request to complete medical in May.

Would linking my account help me find out any requested next steps? I've been trying for months and it just won't work even with all the tips here on this forum...

I've also requested notes, but through my wife as main sponsor - do I need to request as PA?

Finally, is there a number to call to help solve this? I'm convinced from looking at all information that my app is just stuck and needs to me do something but I haven't had the email. I really don't want to wait a month for the requested notes...

No you don't have to request notes as PA, it won't matter as far as l know.
Linking your app would help to know whether your Background check is in progress or not, l think (I have my app linked but the only thing that l got there was my medical request).
I see many people call there to find out if there's something pending with their apps, l would do the same if l were you! It seems like your app is stuck and you don't know the reason so that is a good motive to call and try to find out
I can only antecipate that it might be a while until your call gets through an agente and it depends on how lucky you are to get someone who might actually help you, so don't give up and keep trying!!
You can try this number +161394444000 (you can use gmail hangout to call)
I hope it helped!

Hi all! It has been a while since last time wrote anything here.

Just wanted to share my time line:
Citizen sponsoring wife from Japan, living together in BC, outland application.

Sent -- Mar 28
Received -- Mar 30
AOR -- Apr 18
SA approval -- Apr 21
ECAS "in progress" -- May 2
AOR2 -- did not receive. Only received PDF saying "transferred to Ottawa"
BGC started -- Aug 31
DM -- Sep 1
PPR -- ?
CoPR -- ?
Landed -- ?

Medical -- upfront
Sch A, PCC -- upfront

On Aug 29, we received PDF saying "CPC Mississauga will be processing the application".
Bkg check status changed quickly thereafter. BGC and DM dates might be a couple days earlier, did not check everyday.

I have seen some Japanese wife got CoPR directly after DM, skipping PPR, while some did get PPR. We are crossing fingers our case will be the former

I know the application kit says Sch A and PCC are to be submitted later when requested, but we can just send them upfront. I wonder why not everyone does this way to save time...?

Some people do but they sometimes ask for updated ones
