Two application statuses should be automatically updated. No action needed on your side.
im wondering about this as well.. i am thinking it might be due to the timing of everything.. changing of administration, change of immigration minister, impending layoffs in IRCC, reorganization of priorities in processing, tightening of screening/background check procedures.. everything happened in the past 12 months or so and it would for sure affect the backlog.. as what we are seeing from the current processing times... but again its something totally out of our control.. we can only hope for the best and hope to get results before expiration of our current statuses.
Hi there, Could please someone provide me with the excel file for application for Jun-2024.
Thanks
Thanks
This is so frustrating all the July applicants are getting all the updates where as August applicants are just there waiting for Aor's and no other updates . Been already more then 7 months since we applied but july people got everything on time
I submitted on June 30, got AOR in November, PAL in December , and no updated since then. I requested for GCMS note this week and I'm hoping for good news.

I'm an August 2024 non-express entry PNP applicant. I received the AOR in January 2025. I have the below email from IRCC during my PGWP submission prior to my PR application.

Exemption from Having to Complete an Additional Immigration Medical Exam
Dear client ,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has put in place a temporary public policy that exempts some low-risk, in-Canada foreign nationals from having to complete an additional immigration medical exam as part of their application for permanent residence or for a permanent resident visa.
If you have completed an Immigration Medical exam (IME) within the last 5 years, include your IME or UMI number when you submit your online application for permanent residency. IRCC will process your permanent resident application with your previous medical exam results and notify you of next steps.
If you have not previously completed an IME, please complete one before you submit your application.
Thank you for your interest in Canada.
Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
--------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure if I should wait for the medical exam request or should go ahead and get one. It might be that I'm exempted since I'm in Canada since the last 3.5 years and have only traveled to the US a few times since.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I will like to share this petition - https://www.change.org/p/urgent-petition-for-faster-processing-of-non-express-entry-permanent-residency-application , if it hasn't been shared already. Thank you.
Thanks for the prompt response, @Mv2Canada. I have not done any medical yet. My question is should I wait for IRCC to ask me to get the medical done or can I go ahead and do it irrespective just to save time.
Thank you!
It does not matter at all. Mine application was 23 July and I got AOR on 23rd Dec, post that the timeline changed to 21 months. So all the process post that have been delayed. Mine BIL and Medical are cleared rest all are still in progress. So you don't need to worry. We are all in the same boat. We might be 2 steps ahead of Aug applicant but have been stuck at the same status for last 2 months. So when they open up your file all the process will start fast and you won't have to wait for long. One thing Canada teaches you for sure is "Patience".
Dont do the medical till you are told to. As I mentioned earlier, if you have done the medical in the past 5 years it will be considered and automatically updated. I didn't have to do it again. Mine was updated automatically as I had done my medicals in 2022.

One question, I'm going to submit a webform now (my new passport) and am I supposed to receive 1 or 2 ghost updates?
Hello! I have just received a letter offering me that I now have access to pre-arrival services . Do you have any idea what that means? Is this good news?
