Hello everyone

Could you please tell me that if I sponsor my spouse under outland spousal sponsorship, the time period calculated for eligibility of citizenship (i.e. 1096 days) will start from the date the spouse lands in Canada and apply for PR or from the date of primary sponsor's PR?

Spouse's time from when the spouse lands. Their sponsor has nothing to do with it.

It's been a week since DM, but no PPR. Visa office LONDON. Anyone any idea whats the general time frame to PPR? A week is normal I guess.
We are LVO as well, and got DM Nov 2nd.....and still nothing since then. I'm not sure what to expect for how long it will take to hear anything. We are visa excempt, so are hoping for CoPR very soon..

Thanks for the suggestion! What email address did you use? It’s never occurred to me that I could email anyone directly.

My visa processing center was London I used ldnimmigration@international.gc.ca you can Google "ircc webform" click on it, choose "case specific enquiry" select either Canada or the visa office that is processing and ask through that :) hope it helps!

Not sure if anyone's run across this before, but if you have, please let me know.

My medical was ordered on October 23rd. I called the approved doctor who is in town and the earliest they could get me in was November 22nd--30 days exactly from the date of the letter. Due to my location in BC, the closest other options were at least a 4 hour drive away, and since we only have 1 vehicle, the choice was pretty obvious--I'd just have to take the appointment on the 30th day.

I completed my medical on the 22nd, and somewhere around that date my status updated to "Background check in progress" (I admit, I'm not a daily checker of my application now that I've gotten my work permit). Because he had to wait for the results of my chest x-ray and bodily fluids tests, the doctor said he wouldn't be able to upload the results for about a week.

I've been logging in to my account this week to see if I passed and the Medical Exam line has gone from "We have not received your medical exam results....." back to "Review of medical results. We have requested a medical exam. Check your messages below for details."

Is it safe to not panic until the end of the week? Or should I be trying to contact IRCC (somehow?) and let them know I had the medical exam, the results just aren't in yet?

Also, my request for fingerprints was sent on October 29th. I had them done on November 19th, and the local RCMP said they'll mail me the results, then I can mail them to IRCC. Is IRCC being forgiving at all about deadlines with the postal strike going on? Or am I kind of screwed? I mean, if I have the requests completed before 30 days are up, I'm still meeting the deadline, it's just the processing that takes longer. Ugh.
