I do not understand why you would submit upfront, i had thought after dec 2016 process has changed and they do not require to do medical upfront. But you probably meant sponsor approval do not think there is a spousal approval there.
You are right but a lot of people still submitted upfront for these things in the first few months of the new app. Seems like people have stopped doing it as much in the last couple of months

I got my SA email May 19, and it said there will be a request for Schedule A in the next 5 days. But it also seems like some people are not getting the request and so they are not able to upload it? If you didn't upload, does that mean you mailed the old Schedule A from 2012 (that you can hand sign) or you still used the new one from 2017 and typed your name for signature?

Who all got their request to upload within the 5 days after SA? did it take 5 days or something because I'm coming up on day 4 today.
Hey, I am in the same situation as you are. I got my SA on the same day.

Steps to send Schedule A to CIC:
Upload physically signed copy of Schedule A + PCC via IRCC Webform (one of my friends uploaded electronically signed, CIC asked them to upload a physically signed one)
Send a physical copy to CPC-Mississauga (this is done as IRCC Webform has a huge backlog)

My questions + udub's questions to the forum members:
a. 2012 allows physical signature. Please confirm if it 2012 or we can use 2017 and sign on top of the name in the electronic signature section?
b. In IRCC Webform, please help me answer the following questions:

1) Is your application being processed by an office OUTSIDE Canada? Our application is still with CPC-Mississauga but eventually it will go to NewDelhi Visa Office (outside Canada). So is it yes or no?
2)Type of application/enquiry - Is it option "Technical Difficulties"? or "Sponsorship?" As I remember reading somewhere that it must be "Technical Difficulties"
3) What happens when I click next? I have not done it yet as I want to click next after getting the above questions answered.
4) In Enquirer Section, Relationship to applicant? The answer I am selecting is the applicant. In this case, should I repeat the answers.
c. Now, courier the physical copy.
1) Cover letter explaining the whole scenario
2) On the envelope - I will state the following:
Applicant Name
Application #
Family Class - Spouse Outside Canada​
3) Mailing Address:
Case Processing Centre – Mississauga
2 Robert Speck Parkway, Suite 300
Mississauga, ON
L4Z 1H8​

The PCC and medical upfront that we had submitted were from my previous application that sent back (November).we passed it upfront because it's still valid.Sorry i mean it's Sponsor Approval .

Hey guys,

Apologies if this is a general knowledge, but does a sponsor require a PCC or does it need to be submitted for the primary applicant only?

PA and other family members who may or may not accompany the PA. Does not include Sponsor, since sponsor has already completed PCC when Sponsor got PR and Sponsorship evaluation form does include questions related to has the sponsor been incarcerated etc.

Took exactly 5 business days for me for me to receive the request.
