Sounds great. Hopefully you'll get your ppr soon. BTW, is your eligibility passed or still in progress because of the pending medical?
Eligibility passed a few months ago. Im inland and based in BC. So I dont get PPR, its COPR. I dont know how long does it take to pass my daughter's medical.

We have recently had our PR medicals, our son aged 9 has high functioning autism, he attends our local school in canada but is behind with his reading and writing and gets assistance.

The question is the IRCC have asked the GP who gave us our medicals further questions to ask, we provided a letter from his GP back home in uk to say he is high functioning and not on any medication, he is calling next week to speak to me about this, has anyone had this, what kind of questions were you asked.

Thank you. Looks like they are picking up pace. Hoping you guys will receive soon.
Does that mean that temporary resident applications who have children with autism will be accepted as well?
Hi, I've been reading this post because we are applying for Study and Open Work Permit and have a teen with autism. We have just passed medicals and they resqueted a full profile of our son with various items like future predictions of independent living and working, hazard for society or himself and stuff like that. I don't how good the predictions will be for him to work and live alone but he's never been on drugs and he's social just not super talkative but can speak and write. He is behind in his learning cuz in my country there is not much help for that but he is able to do his things, eat, wash take a shower and so on. Do you think this will be an issue for temporary residence visa? Most if not all the costs of his education have been on us always and it will be the same in Canada so why would he be deemed too much of a burden? People with autism are supposed to be accepted since 2018 with the rule changing right?

They didnt ask any additional documents, however I submitted latest school report and speech therapy and OT report.
Just IRCC have asked doctor which completed our medicals more questions about our son which I don't know what questions till he rings tomorrow

I didn't get that kind of questions or call. As per the last update in feb its final component of my daughter's medical.

Are you Inland? Can you please share the timeline.

Hello @legalfalcon

PNP inland -AOR 7th April 2021(with autistic kid)

As per last update in Feb, the next is final decision and waiting for daughter's medical (final component). So my work permit will be expiring in end of April. Should I extend the work permit? I dont understand why they are taking so long.

Hopefully you'll hear from them soon, it shouldn't take this long especially as you're an inland applicant.
