Hey guys,

Has anyone gone through medical deferral? Ours is a spousal outland sponsorship, and we are expecting. Together with our doctor, we have decided to postpone the x-ray to after delivery, which is in 6 months. We got SA, BIL and MR and our file is headed to the Paris visa office.

Can anyone share their timeline from the day of submission of the delayed x-ray? We would like to determine whether they put the whole thing on hold, or they sort of finish all the steps and wait for that last document, which is the x-ray.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Any idea when confirmation of PR is expected?
Can we get confirmation of PR if medical has not been completed because of pregnancy?
It's a bit annoying as we can't get health coverage unless we have confirmation of PR :(

No confirmation until the medical is done. Once she finishes the medical it may be up to a few months to get COPR. Depending on your status you'll need to add the baby which will definitely take a few months.
