Good day guys, applied for work permit under suv progame two months ago, applied for pr last week.
A week after applying for the wp, i received biometric request. Today, I received a request to go for medicals.
I assume the medicals is for the work permit application, is this a good sign?

Hi @Bolaji1984 may I know if you applied for WP and PR via the online portal?
regarding your question, I am sorry as I don't have any insight that I can share because we are still about to lodge our application but hoping it is a good sign

Hi Bolaji1984,
It is obviously that the medical request is for your WP Application since "Biometrics, Medical test result & Other WP application form..." will be reviewed together in order to issue the WP. Therefore, it doesn't mean that your WP may be approved soon...but it seems to be that your WP application is complete and it has been processing by the IRCC officer.
Wish you are able to have WP approved soonest!
Cheers
Kai

From which country you applied for WP? I have applied from India in July and still not received any updates so just asking.

Hi Dineshshristi,
Honestly, I don't understand the full concept of PAL....but it is great news of yours anyhow.....it means that your application was passed the "Eligibility check" & you are going to get the PPR in a couple of days.
Cheers

Hi All SUV applicants,
I got a piece of information from CIC News regarding the comments sent to the IRCC to ask how to process the backlogs that have built up since the pandemic.
Hope it can make you feel a bit better after reading it. Cheers, Kai

Kai - there is a mention of "the backlog from 2020 could take three years to resolve" :eek::rolleyes::oops:
So from 2020 3 years or from now on 3 years? OMG, this wait seems never-ending.

Hi, I wonder why IRCC doesn't proceed and finalize WP till PPRs take long time???
