Hi

Did they ask for proof of medical from you in the process?
Like they send you a letter asking about any change in address information and proof of medical.

Anyone who still has not received Pre-Arrival letter or PA eligibility? We received Sponsor eligibility approval in Nov, but no update after that. There was just one ghost update.

Congrats on the TRV! Though just curious, does TRV acceptance means more chances of PR approval without any hiccups or is it completely unrelated?

I'm waiting for review of proof of medical/address change. Any information on similar case??

IRCC issued MIl on 15 Dec and asked for proof of medical/change in address information on 18 Dec, which was uploaded same day. They acknowledged additional documents, medical was passed 25 Dec on gckey/tracker. But now gckeys mentions "13 Jan, we are reviewing additional documents you provided us."


Timeline:
Submitted: 05 Nov
AOR: 28 Nov
BIL and MIL: 03 Dec and 15 Dec
BIL and MIL completed on tracker: 09 Dec and 25 Dec
PA/Sponsor Eligibility completed on tracker & pre-arrival: 11 Dec and 12 Dec
BG in progress: 11 Dec
AOR and Sponsor approval received via Canada post

Last update as per tracker: 25 Dec
Review of additional doc (proof of medical/change in address) Update 13 Jan

Hello!
Submitted application: October 17th, 2024
Received the AOR: November 13th, 2024
Biometrics Instruction Letter: January 20, 2025

After I received my AOR, I applied for a TRV which required me to submit my Biometrics. I completed my Biometrics on December 31, 2024 and January 20th I received another email with instructions to submit my Biometrics. Am I required to submit my biometrics twice within this short period?

yes, biometric is required for every single PR application

 

[akromah2]

yes, biometric is required for every single PR application

Do you recommend submitting Biometrics as close as possible to the BIL issue date (Jan 20, 2025)? Does it help accelerate the application? I know Spousal Outland sponsorship processing times are on average 10 months, including Biometrics. Trying to ascertain how urgently I should complete them before the deadline (Feb 20).

For my Sponsor's application they received an Eligibility status update - it says "Eligibility status has been updated to Completed". Does that mean my Sponsor has been deemed eligible?
