Hi All

I got invitation to apply for my parents and I submitted all the forms online using PR portal below
Sign in | Permanent Residence Portal (cic.gc.ca)

Since then it only shows the submitted button and there is no place to see status. How can I check status or file number or anything. I submitted in December 2021. Not sure if I did it right in right place?

That's a very long time with no communication. Hopefully, you didn't miss any emails.

I finally received medical examination and pre arrival for my parents. Application submitted on November 21 2022, received approval letter on May 17, 2023 and file transferred to Montreal. Received medical request June 21st 2024 and Pre Arrival letter June 22nd. They are yet to request for PCC. Should I proceed without them requesting for it?

Amazing! That's great news. It gives me hope as my file is also in Montreal.
Congrats!

I finally got some movement for my mom's application for Pre-arrival services and Medical requests. My file is one of the many that got transferred to Montreal. Pre Arrival letter - 21st of June and Medical requests the 25th of June 2024.
When will they ask for the PCC?

I received prearrival tonight but nothing else. I had sent a webform saying that since her last medical she had been living in canada so i am requesting an exemption from doing medical again. Does the prearrival without medical mean her exemption request was approved?

Yes, I heard that if applicants living in Canada, the medical result could be extended for a while.
Could you please share your timeline?

Can someone pls help understand what is happening with my mother-in-law's PGP PR application?

Background:
  • Dec 2021 application
  • IRCC asked for PC in 2022 - submitted them immediately
  • Medical test asked to be done again in 2022 as previous one had expired. Did so and submitted
  • Somewhere in late 2022, IRCC confirmed medical test has been completed and file was being processed in Mississauga office
  • Then there was radio silence for many many months. Following up did not help
  • Early this year, the background check status showed in progress. Status also said they need more info
  • After 2 months, got a call from IRCC agent asking for my father-in-law's details to be added. My mother-in-law and father-in-law have been separated (without formal divorce for 30 years and we are unaware of where he is). We were asked to fill in form with him as a dependent as formal divorce has not happened. We submitted new form with his name stating that we cannot upload all forms or get his signatures as we do not know where he is
  • 2 weeks later, IRCC updated my father-in-law's name as a dependent
  • 1 month later in May, got a letter that application is being moved from Mississauga office to Vancouver office - no concrete reason given
  • Status then changed and showed Medical is being reviewed, additional document still required, background change still being done etc.
  • Last night, the status had an update and only the background check moved to "not applicable"
The current status is as below:

Review of eligibility
We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results
We are reviewing the results of your medical exam.
Review of additional documents
We need additional documents to process your application. We will send you a letter or email with details.
Interview
You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics
We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check
Not applicable.
Final decision
Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

Dear All,

I need your experts advise.

We submitted our mother's PR application when she was in Sri Lanka back in December 2022. Today we got the email to do her medical exam. However, she is currently visiting us in Canada with us now as a visitor (visit visa). Is it ok to do the medical exam here in Canada (from the list of doctors given by IRCC) or should she go back to Sri Lanka to get her medical exam done??
