Hi. I'm wondering if there is anyone from Nigeria who has received AOR?
I don't think AOR is dependent on the country of residence, CPC Mississauga does the completeness check, assigns application number and sends the file to the processing office assigned to the applicants country of residence/workload.

Submitted on November 19th. Requested information in form 5406 on February 17th.
Information sent on February 18.
Is that the ghost email?
If no, how can I link it.
Could someone please, direct me on what to do.

I wish someone would correct this with IRCC, they are giving medical requests way too early, I have seen how this can cause people a lot of headaches because the medical expires in one year and usually IRCC will not finish the process within the one year and people will have to do it again.
Think they want to eliminate people who would be considered excessive medical expense early that’s why they usually do medical early on. Unfortunately many do apply even if it is clear they will have difficulty being approved because they have advanced kidney disease for example.

couldn't agree more. This is a long process and seniors health conditions can change drastically over one year. IRCC should really improve PGP process and send out medicals later. It will also help to reduce the resources used to review medical reports. I see ppl in 2019 group doing medicals 3 times. pray this won't happen to our group.
And for those who haven't received a medical request, as long as your application is moving, consider it a blessing in disguise.
Assume they are trying to eliminate medicals that will present excessive demand versus telling people at the 2+ year mark that they will be refused. There is still a chance that a parents health can decline during the process which is why they are required to do a medical right before approval. We have seen people die, decline in health, etc during the process. Unfortunately many think parent sponsorship is guaranteed when moving to Canada and don’t have a plan B. Given the level of immigration and our ageing population many will not be able to sponsor parents and should consider this when immigrating to Canada.

Hmmn, another angle. they should at least be considerate and finish the process within a year of medicals
