Hello friends!
Hope this is the right place to ask a sponsorship question.
I'm a Canadian PR sponsoring my Russian wife to come to Canada. Here's our timeline:
Application Submitted: Dec 17, 2021
An email saying i meet sponsor criteria: March 2022
Medical Exam request: April 4, 2022
Medical Exam done (Istanbul): April 20, 2022
Medical Exam passed on CIC portal: October 13, 2022
Nothing happened since October. All other statuses, including Sponsorship eligibility, are at default values.
Now, our biggest concern is that the medical exam results should expire in April 2023, which is just 3 months from now. Can it happen, that IRCC keeps silence until then? And then what, we need to pay over $1000 to fly to another city and do another medical exam? That doesn't seem right provided that IRCC requested the medical exam themselves, so I would expect them to honor the validity period. It's not about the money, I'm just hoping that we can expect a final decision before April.
The processing office is in Warsaw. I've sent them a number of messages, they reply after about 2 months saying "your application is in progress".
Any thoughts on this?
