Some countries seem to do Medical request much later in process. You should try to compare to other Bogota apps and also for same country as PA.

For spousal applications though it really is not worth stressing about (or as little as possible) - they will ask for the medicals to be done when they need it. (I know much harder for applicants for whom the panel physicians are much further away and involves travel etc)

Hi all, my wife is sponsoring me (US Citizen) and I had a question. I recently received my biometric letter which requires me to appear with my passport. I recently received a new one which I submitted via the Webform. Is that notification sufficient? I haven't been able to find any number to call IRCC... thanks much.

Webform is all you need to do.

Unfortunately there isn't much more you can do to speed the process. If you feel inclined you can contact your MP and Immigration Minister but realistically they'll only provide similar information as calling IRCC. Once you get your AOR things will move very quickly so stay positive.

Dear All, First of all, many thanks for the wonderful community in this forum who shares their experiences and valuable advices which helps others like me. At the moment, I am stuck in a situation and would like to take your valuable advice on how to proceed next:

  • My wife and I are Indian Nationals, holders of Canadian PR card but currently living in UK. We must re-enter Canada before Apr 2022 to meet PR Residency Obligation.
  • Very recently, we are blessed with a baby boy in UK (Indian Citizen) and we couldn’t extend our visa to continue staying in UK and is expiring by e\o Jun 2021.
  • Post UK Visa expiry, We are afraid to leave for India due to the current covid situation there, possible delays in processing Canada visa for my newborn and the flight ban Canada imposed on India. If the flight ban is not revoked before Apr 2022, we might even end up losing our PR status in Canada.
  • If we must leave for Canada directly from UK, our new-born would need a visa. Since one of the parents need to be physically in Canada to sponsor PR for the dependent child, would you suggest we try applying TRV for the newborn from UK so we could take the newborn with us immediately? Per Canada.ca site, Current processing timelines for TRV is 427 days from UK. Are there any possibility of requesting for expediated processing for my scenario? Also, what are the chances of approval as our intent is to take the child there and apply PR sponsorship and not really for tourism purpose. If this is not approved, would it affect any future visa requests for my newborn in Canada including His PR visa when we sponsor later?
  • Having said that we only have time till e/o June 2021 in UK, is TRV the best route we could follow to take the newborn directly to Canada from UK or would you suggest any other route?
I truly appreciate any suggestions or guidance for my situation. Thanks!

Apply for TRV. You can see if there is some kind of request for urgent processing. Ignore the 427 days, many of not most TRV apps were not being processed at all so the numbers tell you little.

Good luck.

Many thanks for your quick suggestion! I shall surely try with that option and check if there is any way to expediate it.
Assuming my application gets picked up but only to get rejected as the intent is dual(Going on TRV only to apply for sponsorship and stay longer), does that have any implications on the future visa applications(TRP or sponsor PR for dependent child) of my newborn?

No, it won't negatively affect future applications. The biggest constraint is time, no idea how long a TRV app might take you for your child. So you may need to make alternative plans.
