How long do they take after biometric to ask for medical? What do they do with biometrics? Security?
Hard to say! I submitted my family's applications since October, 2020 and got acknowledgement receipt from Pretoria office, South Africa in November, 2020. Wife had her biometrics in in October. But till now, no medical request or any update....

At least, that's a good news! It gives me hope....
When did your friend submit her dependent's applications? If you have more information, please share. Like when your friend got her pr and when she applied? Thanks.

I’m guessing they are doing security check which should be done next month am guessing. It takes 3-6mo from what I read here. My spouse did biometrics Jan2021 so I’m not expecting anything until April to July. Keep us updated pls

urgent help..!!
if you want to claim refugee status at the port of entry in canada and you havent received the authorized letter but do have an visitor visa which is about to expire in a month. Is it still possible that one can travel providing the strong claim and showing the proof of the request for the authorization letter. Note: the person is also considered to be the extended family member.
