My case was different, I was waited for CSQ for almost years and then gave up and applied for Express entry and got the ITA.. In EE , you do medicals upfront.. While i did my medicals.. I also received my CSQ, so at that point I had to decide if i should go with EE or QSWP.. Consulted my agent, he suggested its better you go QSWP and we can use the same medical results which I did for EE. so thats how i ended up using medicals upfront, anyways they are expired now..
In Ideal situation, medicals should always be done, after receiving the official letter from IRCC.. as it keeps your file flowing.. in my opinion.
Are you an inland or outland applicant?
 
Can someone explain the difference in processing time between "I already applied" and "I haven't applied yet"?

I don't understand how someone's expected processing time can be 15-17 months up until they send in the package and then 26 months as soon as that package arrives in NS.

Congratulations!!

You didn't receive the LSAA letter?
 
Has anyone invited their parents since May 2020? CIC asks visitors of temporary residents to take written authorization before coming. Anyone requested that? If yes, what reason you gave?

I am just wondering, do you need to submit a police certificate for Canada, if you have only lived here from age of 18?
 
There are two checks..security which is done by agencies and criminality which is done based on PCC you provided. Criminality is quick as it is done based on PCC but securiy as it is done by agencies it might take time but not more then 3 months I guess. i also provided PCC for India and UK and there was no issue for security...so all will be good its just time they take for no reason....i got my copr on 15th Jan and I filed my application on dec 2018.

The security check can be much longer than 3 months, I'm waiting for 18 months.
 
My application was received on Nov 19, 2018 as well. I got ADR in Feb 2020 and MR in Nov 2020 (passed in Nov 2020).

No news since then. CBSA notes show that my security check deadline was Feb 2020 but the status still shows as "not started".

Yesternight I saw a strange "profile updated" message, but nothing special has happened after that. With most employers avoiding immigration paperwork for potential employers, I hope I get my PR soon.

How long did you wait for CBSA notes?

They are creating an illusion for better future or a statement that they can do better :) It's like this for the past 3 years.
