You are almost at the finish line.

I hope so! It's been so long and i'm tired like everyone else.

Good luck on your application

For regular processing IRCC only starts processing overseas dependents files AFTER the principal applicant becomes a PR. Your dependents access to PR is based on your PR status, so until you are a PR your dependents file is not processed.

I am a protected person in Toronto and my partner lives in India (never been to Canada), she was on my application from day 1 as my common-law partner.

Here is my timeline:

Feb 2022 - Submitted PR application for both of us

Jan 2024 - PR granted to me

Feb 2024 - Confirmation my partners PR was sent to the local office (New Delhi)

Sep 2024 - Additional documents requested for my partner

Sep 2025 - Biometrics (partner)

And what about medical request?
