primary applicant need to land first in Canada. If you are primary applicant, you should wait for ECOPR and once you get it , your family can travel and do landing procedures.

Thanks @Miss bee, i didn’t get my Ecopr yet but i called IRCC today, they said if family has already received visas on their passports they can travel & then just update IRCC that your family is inside Canada now. So please advise should my travel now or there could be any risk?

If you haven’t received your eCOPR (Electronic Confirmation of Permanent Residence) as the primary applicant, your spouse cannot use their PR visa to enter Canada independently. Generally, dependents are required to land in Canada after or alongside the primary applicant for permanent residency.
Here’s how this usually works:
1. Primary Applicant Requirement: The primary applicant must land first or at the same time as dependents for the PR visas to be valid.
2. Travel Delay for Spouse: Until you receive your eCOPR and have landed, your spouse will need to wait to travel on their PR visa.

Hello @Miss bee , thank you so much. So I received my PAL in September and I sent webforms to IRCC Last week to enquire the stage my application is, and they responded with the following update:

We are pleased to provide you with information regarding the current status of your application for permanent residence.

• The background verifications are currently valid.
• The medical examination results on file are valid for you and your dependent child.
• IRCC is committed to reviewing most permanent residence applications submitted online within a 6-month timeframe,
  • although the processing times may vary, rest assured that IRCC is making the necessary efforts to finalize your application within established processing times.

Please it this a good sign that all is going well. Thank you

@Miss bee The medical exam instructions were only sent to my spouse. Is this because she is the main applicant, or should we have received separate instructions too? We have one kid as well

If only your spouse received the medical instructions, it’s likely because IRCC views her as the primary applicant. Normally, if family members (like a spouse or child) also need medical exams, they each receive their own separate instructions. You might want to check with IRCC or through your GCKey account to confirm if additional medical instructions are needed for you and your child.

Thank you @Miss bee It is the Winnipeg office that I hope they can send it as soon as possible. I already checked the tracker but didn't show anything about the medical exam, including my spouse.

For non-Express Entry PR applicants already residing in Canada, the process after receiving the Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) includes steps specific to inland applicants. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Review of Eligibility
• Purpose: IRCC begins assessing whether you meet the specific requirements of your program (e.g., work experience, family sponsorship, or nomination in the case of PNP).
• Timeline: Usually begins within a few months of AOR, but this can vary.
2. Biometrics Instruction Letter (BIL)
• Purpose: If biometrics are required, you’ll receive a BIL instructing you to submit them at a Service Canada location or an authorized office.
• Timeline: Typically issued shortly after AOR. However, if you’ve provided biometrics within the last 10 years, they may be reused
3. Medical Examination
• Purpose: Confirms your medical admissibility to Canada.
• Timeline: Often requested within a few months of AOR, or shortly afterward if medicals have expired.
• Process: You may receive a request to undergo a medical exam if IRCC hasn’t received your latest results or requires updated ones.
4. Additional Document Requests (ADR)
• Purpose: IRCC might request additional documentation to verify or clarify aspects of your application, such as updated police certificates or proof of funds.
• Common Requests: Police certificates, updated employment letters, or additional proof of relationship.
• Timeline: ADRs can come at any point, based on the progress of your file.
5. Eligibility and Background Checks
• Eligibility Check: Confirms you meet the specific program requirements. Often indicated by status changes to “Eligibility Passed” in your online account.
• Background Check: Divided into criminality and security components.
• Criminality: Verified through police clearances.
• Security: More in-depth screening to ensure admissibility.
• Timeline: Background checks can take several months, especially for the security stage.
6. Pre-Arrival Services Letter (if applicable)
• Purpose: For certain economic immigration programs, you may receive a pre-arrival letter encouraging you to access resources that help you settle in Canada.
• Timeline: Generally issued after major checks are completed, indicating the application is progressing toward approval.
• Inland Applicants: If already in Canada, you likely won’t need to submit your passport. Instead, you’ll receive instructions for eCOPR issuance.
8. Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and Landing Process
• Purpose: COPR confirms your permanent residency status.
• Timeline: Issued after PPR if all checks are cleared.
Landing Process for Inland Applicants Already in Canada
For inland applicants already in Canada, the landing process is simpler, as you don’t need to physically leave and re-enter the country. Here’s how it typically works:
1. Receive eCOPR: Once approved, IRCC will issue an electronic Confirmation of Permanent Residence (eCOPR) via your online account or through an authorized email.
2. Virtual Landing: You’ll confirm your PR status online. IRCC may ask you to verify your Canadian address and confirm other details virtually, marking your official “landing” as a permanent resident.
3. PR Card: After landing, IRCC will mail your PR card to your Canadian address, usually within a few weeks.
With this virtual process, you become a permanent resident without having to leave or re-enter Canada. The final stages, including PR card issuance, will be completed while you continue residing here.

Hello! Since you’ve already received the Pre-Arrival Letter (PAL) and IRCC confirmed that they’re working on finalizing your PR application, it’s unlikely that you’ll need to proactively upload a new Police Certificate unless IRCC specifically requests it. Typically, IRCC may not require a new Police Certificate if your background checks, including criminality, have been completed, as in your case.
However, if they require an updated document, they will send you a request to upload a new Police Certificate. So for now, it should be okay to wait and see if IRCC reaches out with that specific request.
