i saw application received in ECAS today. Medical was passed on March 9. Are you done with medical as well and then it changed to Application received ?
Previous Medicals were submitted while applying. So, medical is passed.
Then it changed to Application received.

Guys,
My application turned to Application Received from IN PROCESS in ECAS.
Medicals are already passed on March 21.
What does this mean?
I just read on another threat that when file is transferred and received by VO it changes from IN PROCESS to RECEIVED and when VO starts working on it it will change to IN PROCESS again until Decision Made.

I received an email stating that SA was eligible and file was being transferred then I checked GCKEY they sent medical request.

We are pleased to inform that you have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor.

Reminder – Your undertaking is an unconditional promise of support
The undertaking you signed is an unconditional promise to financially support and provide basic
requirements for your sponsored relative(s). This undertaking is not broken by such changes as the
granting of Canadian citizenship, divorce, separation, relationship breakdown, moving to another
province, or a change in your financial situation. Your obligations as a sponsor begin as soon as your
sponsored relative and, if applicable, their accompanying family members become permanent residents
of Canada. This undertaking cannot be cancelled once permanent resident visas are issued to them.

The Application for Permanent Residence for your relative(s) will be forwarded to the visa office in
Kingston for further processing.

I have just recieved an email from MVO.

Here what it is,

Thank you for informing our office that OOO(My son's name) is residing in Canada and confirming your address. We have signalled to the office in Canada responsible for in-Canada landing to provide next steps. We appreciate your patience as you await further instructions directly from their office. Please note this might take a few weeks, so you do not have to worry about the 30-day deadline mentioned in our initial email.


I should wait for another few weeks... Frustrated..

In my sponsor approval PDF, i have the exact wording but at the end does not mention which Visa Office it will be transferred.
It says -

Hello, did anyone try to apply for a TRV for his child while sponsorship application is under process? I heard that it could be difficult for a spouse but not for a dependent child under 14. Anyone can advise?

I got TRV while sponsorship application was in process. Didn't face any issue, got TRV and moved to Canada then I changed the address of my child to Canada.
