According to IRCC web page relating to service standards updated on August 31, 2018 only 80 per cent of all applications were finalized in 15 months, not 12 months.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...standards/family-class-priority-overseas.html

"From April 2017 to March 2018, the service standard of 12 months was met 73% of the time. 80% of all applications were processed in 15 months. 80% of applications received since December 2016 were processed in less than 12 months. Further reductions are expected as applications from before December 2016 are finalized."

okay guys, just to help keep people's hopes alive, I really didnt want to share this till after my interview but i have decided to share my little news because I know how I refresh the page every time just to see people's update from avo just to keep my spirit up because the waiting period is like forever for we applicants. I got request for interview on Friday and was also asked to bring my passport and all original documents we submitted when we applied. we were also advised to pay permanent residence fee if we haven't done so. the interview is scheduled in 3 weeks time in Accra visa office.. am July 2017 applicant and i never heard anything from avo after my medicals in January 2018 till last Friday I got that mail for interview.. I hope this helps and give hope to a lot of people waiting and hoping for their moments.

Congratulations!!

Without going into too much detail can you share what concerns they had in general? Don't feel obligated to answer if you don't want to as it is a private matter.

So happy for you! Thank you for the update!

Let's hope now that the summer holidays and long weekend are over and new staff has joined that we will have more and more good news!

Along with IRCC rules for sponsors, you need to read the rules for sponsors in Quebec as well at:
https://www.immigration-quebec.gouv...ation/requirements-sponsor/prerequisites.html

It would seem the financial proof does not apply to spouses, but different relatives:

• If you sponsor your father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, a dependent child who has a child or a close relative who is a minor and an orphan, you must prove that you have at your disposal sufficient financial resources for the duration of the undertaking (see financial standards).

This is a good link to visit:
http://www.itc-canada.com/Immigration_To_Canada/Quebec_Family_Class.htm

"However you don't need to demonstrate a level of income that meets the minimum necessary income for a given family size, as is the case for sponsoring other relatives. Also if the dependent child you are sponsoring has a child of his or her own, you must satisfy the same financial requirements."

Noone has posted on this forum yet about receiving PPR from September applicants. Same here when it comes to timeline (almost 12) and my medical was actually received beginning of March.

I received this message on my ecas yesterday

1. We sent you medical instructions on September 3, 2018. To avoid delays, please provide us the information requested in the letter as soon as possible. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

This means they have sent you a request to get a medical examination. This is standard procedure. They usually send it 5 months exactly from the date of the Acknowledgment of Receipt.

Check your GCKey for the letter and medical exam request available online, if you have linked your application to GCKey. It should be available in PDF format for download, print and to take to a panel physician. Follow the instructions closely. It seems that most of the panel physicians require appointments to be made for the examination.

You can check out the links and information about medical requests on the "new" thread listed in my signature block below.

Good luck.
