Spousal sponsorship

For the new policy to take effect your pr application has to exist in their system. When this happens you get AOR. Before that your application can be returned to you as being incomplete.
You asked if you can apply without AOR. Yes you can, but you can't expect to be processed under new policy.
But if you have weak ties I doubt that AOR alone will help you much. But it's your take. We still have not much statistics for this new policy to understand what works the best.
I will apply for an extension of my Temporary VIsit Visa since im closing in to 5 months my stay here. I noticed that they require medical exam. Can i use same medical exam for my PR application once they requested it?

They sometimes request and get an extension from the IRCC medical officers when they plan to issue the passport request soon. I can't guarantee that's what's going on but it's not unheard of. They would likely do this after the background checks and security checks etc are clean and basically complete and just before submitting to a more senior person for the final sign-off.
(Why do this instead of re-medical? Could be any number of reasons from bureaucratic standpoint - periodic targets, they need to clean off somebody's desk, some obscure administrative internal reason, to resource things like if they request a medical it would mean having to re-do some of the other parts like security clearances at great $$$ and delay. All of this, it goes without saying, predicated on the likely low risk to public safety - the key thing for medical clearance on spousal files.)

Hey Guys,submitted my spousal sponsorship and received AOR.However I just realized that in form 5669 Military and Paramilitary details, I forgot to write "None",i just kept it blank.Is it something to be concerned about??
If you got AOR, at least it means you won't have it sent back to you.
IRCC might send you an additional request for information (i.e. send you the form). To avoid that, I'd revise the 5669 and send it by webform, with a short note that this was the only change. But this won't be a bid difference, might save a bit of time, might not.
Thanks for your reply.You said this wont be a big difference means I may still get Additional request even after sending revised form...??
This was a few years ago. My husband's medical was extended (IRCC actually called and wanted to confirmed if he did any travel in the previous year) and we got landing appointment in a couple of months.
You probably wouldn't get the additional request if you send the revised form (although still possible - things happen). But the additional request itself isn't that big a deal either, was my point. Mabye sending the form in advance would save 2-4 weeks, maybe not.
Good point, I was thinking outland apps, but if the PA is in Canada, extending the meds is even more of a no-brainer (from risk to public perspective).
Hello all,Just a quick question if PCC expires while the sponsor application is being processed..do they ask for pcc again??what is the trend here?
