I was asked for more additional documents such as proof of funds, educational degrees, business plan and police certificate after passing the medical exam. I had only 14 days to submit them.
Hi buddy,

Thanks for sharing useful info,

Did your medical statement passed in GCKEY?
Did all your team members get this ADR request?

My medical was done 3weeks ago and I’m still waiting for medical pass.

I received medical exam on Feb 1 and took the exam the same day.It was passed in my account on Feb 8.
I’m alone and have no teammates. Maybe being in land affect the process?

Have you received any new ADR?

Dont think it will affect the processing time, since currently the applications are being processed serially. But when your file is picked up, they may ask you the business progress. Since you received a WP, they may specifically expect you to show progress in the Canadian business. Your incubator/ fund can suggest you more on what you can do. Also, I recommend doing a soft landing in Canada if you have been approved. Go to Canada temporarily, do your landing formalities and get your WP issued. Again, take the advise of your incubator / fund on this. Hope this helps!
Thank you friend, one of our team had approved WP since Dec'2022 but he planed to landing Canada in Jun'2023 as he has some individual issues so he delay the trip. Our Team application was in Jun'2020 and already have ADR 3 times:

08 Aug'2022 : 1st ADR was personnal updates, Education cert., Employment Cert., Bank statement, travel history,...submitted on 12 Aug 2022
Sept'2022 : 2nd ADR was Bussiness progress report, submitted on 16 Dec 2022.
12 Dec'2022: approved WP for 1 team member.
28 Feb 2023: 3 rd ADR : exactly same as what they had required in 1st ADR, only new one is Judical clearance certificate for 2 of 5 members.

Our team's processing time was over 33 months and the 3nd ADR same as 1st ADR. We are confusing indeed, not sure why it happened?

Yeah, I had an ADR just for personal docs like travel history, military service, schedule A form. Not any request for business progress nor corporation the company in Canada. The ADR received a day before medical on 24th Jan 2023 after that radio silent!
What's your visa office? Mine is Calgary.

Hi guys… Can anyone help to approximate when 2021 paper applications will start getting processed as it seems IRCC is now finalizing 2020 applications
They have been processing based on the queue, and the capacity of their visa offices. I heard about a November 2020 applicant who received AOR, BIL, and ADR. It seems that you'll get good news by couple of months.

Your turn will come, be patient. Unfortunately, it was the worst and longest for 2020’s and 2021’s

no! after you get AOR you can link the application to your GCKey account but still you cannot review it.
Thank you @amir788.
Kind of worrying if any errors. But with PR portal no paper copies or access to what submitted.
So linking is only for correspondence but you still can not see application and documents?
