I done my bios on the 20th sept and my account updated the same day. It’s just patients. You will wear yourself thin checking. I hardly check. No harm every once in while but everyday.. you’d have issues lol

well the good news is that when you do receive the RPRF, you can rest assured that you're almost there. Meanwhile, stay away from checking your profile to maintain your sanity

Request of perm fee..? Do people not pay upfront ? I paid at the same time as I submitted. You only delay by not paying as they then need to send the request, you wait and when they receive it, they then have to authorise it.. only delays things

Hi,

I got my AOR on 13th August. Still my Medical status says, 'You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes'. On September 13th, I received an email from CIC that, my application has been updated. But when I login, nothing has been updated. Below is my application status. I tried calling CIC, couldn't reach the agent. Please suggest.

My advise is to try and ring and get in touch with an agent as they will shed light on this. Using the online CIC form can be a waste as they may be unhelpful. Having said that, it’s anything up to a month or longer to pass the medical. BUT! There is no set order in which things get looked into.

Hi Consar,

Thanks for your reply!
I tried calling them to 1 888 242 2100, after pressing all the numbers and at-last when I click '0' to talk to the agent, automatically the call got disconnected. Is there any other way to contact them?

Strange. Really this would be the only way other than filling out a form but that will be another waiting game. Try again and see what happens. I wouldn’t leave it too long.

My husband's biometrics details has been updated in the profile. When he applied his visitor visa on March, he provided his biometrics. But am not sure when this has been updated. Do you think this is an application update they sent a notification to me? Anyways am worried about medicals.

Regardless of what biometrics you may have took as a visitor, if they require it, it’s sometbing they will ask you for. In regards to worrying about your medicals, don’t stress. No news can be good news, it’s just a waiting game, and there is no set time for when something is passed. Some people who submitted in July, myself and others are ahead, it’s just when your details are checked.

Time for my weekly post for Montreal visa office

Are you a FSW-O candidate based in the USA? or an inland Candidate?

Still stuck in IP1 after more than 60 days from AOR? if Yes, then your application may be at Montreal visa office.

Do order GCMS notes or call IRCC agents and find out ...

Why? Because if you're at Montreal your wait likely is going to be long one! Based on the data we have till now Montreal takes 5-6 months to give PPR. Hence knowing this may prevent you to log-in to CIC account daily.

For more information please join us at Montreal thread here!

well, you are right. but even though we may pay the RPRF fee in advance, and yes it does speed the process, it, however, does not guarantee a successful application and what I meant in the OP's specific case was that when they do receive the request, at least they can be sure it wouldn't lead to a rejection because of eligibility as those checks would have been processed prior to RPRF.

Many a times RPRF is triggered after the R10 completeness check. So it is possible that case analyst has not validated eligibility when RPRF request is raised. So technically you can get a refusal even if a RPRF request is raised.
