Medical examination means high chances to get Permanent Residence

[Francisco000]

Hi forum,

I am sponsoring my wife and her daughter who are residing out of Canada. They were requested to pass the medical examination (and before they delivered their biometrics and police certificate), but checking her application status it says that eligibility (for spouse) and background checking have not yet started. My wife also got an email saying that her case was going to be derived to other country office (I think because of the area in which she currently live)

Having the medical examination requested can mean a good signal that the application is going well even though they didn´t start checking the background and eligibility? what are your thoughts?

Completely routine and doesn't tell you anything. Doesn't mean it's going faster.

For a few countries they do medicals at end of process to avoid having to do twice. That's the exception.
