In the last update of the IRCC website, the duration of the self-employed process increased from 52 months to 53 months
Self Employed Application 2022
- Thread starter nishant.t
- Start date
Processing changes from week to week so may go down a week, and then up a week.
But since 14 months ago when I submitted my application till now every time IRCC has updated the process it has increased.
from 40 months it has reached 53 months
NO, because it would only make you wait longer.
1. upfront medical means medical before submitting application. Even EE now cancelled upfront IME requirement, largely due to the introduction of streamlined IME and the public policy waiving IME for certain in-land applicants. They are cancelling upfront IME to speed up the process, get the vibe?
2. without IMM 1017E, even the PP agreed to perform IME for you, you will need to submit the result through webform. linking the attachment to your SE file takes time and IRCC will probably be confused seeing your IME result when there had not been any requests for it in the system. This only complicate things and would surely make the processing of your application longer.
3. Medical test results are only valid for one year, while the processing of SE application can easily take much longer, hence invalidate the unrequested IME result. This may further lengthen your wait time. And you may be asked to do another IME later on, just because the previous one expired.
4. It only takes about 1-3 months, after receiving IME request, to pass medical in most cases. Some people managed to schedule IME within 10 days of getting IMM1017E and passing medical in the system only 3 days afterwards, which means that doing medical as asked will not delay your application.
So considering the above info, not including specific personal health conditions of course, it is not rational nor wise to do medical before being asked to.
Just IMHO
Appreciate that your detail reply,
watch this video, no medical request and its updated in portal, looks like he did medical without medical request letter as show in video (table grid of letters)

you can't compare study permit application with pr application. completely two separate systems.
Not yet for me but very sure b4 middle of 2024, something will start happening. That seems to be the trend.
Dear, I have same status with what you shared before. could I know how long did it take to finish background check? and how long you got final decision? could you pls kindly share left process time? thanks a lot!
Same here. Got temporary application number in March 2022. Paper based application received, January 4th 2022.
Yes, sometimes I worry now that new online applications could be processed ahead of even old paper based ones. Can only hope.
