You might have luck checking the clinics with online booking multiple times to catch new slots opening up. One place that took calls also gave me a specific time in a few days to call back to schedule an appointment, but ultimately I was lucky and got an online booking somewhere else for the next day even though the last time I looked their calendar was booked for months.
Inland Spousal Sponsorship August 2020

- Start date
is there siginificant delays between medical passed, aip and SA.. SA and AIP both show in process on sponsors ecas. however on my gckey instead of inprocess it shows submitted... should i be concerned? did my file get transferred like other files? can any one shed light as to why the application may say submitted now?
Hi everyone!
I’m a Sept 2020 inland applicant.
After looking at the spreadsheet, I realized that some people in this group submitted an upfront medical exam BEFORE they got a medical request and have passed the medical!
Can you please shed some light on what the process was: did you have to call IRCC to link your UMI + EMI numbers/send a webform or did they do it automatically?
I’m in the same situation (upfront from 2020) & have called IRCC + sent a webform with that request. I just don’t want to waste my time waiting for their response (which could take a month!) & will instead go get a fresh medical exam if it comes to that.
Would appreciate any help you can give! THANK YOU!

I don't understand what you're saying. What do you mean by, SA and AIP both show in process on Sponsor's ECAS?
Regarding transferred applications - Once the PA receives AIP in GC Key, if the officer's name at the bottom of the letter does not include a local Canadian office e.g. Etobicoke or Mississauga, then it might have gotten transferred to a VAC abroad. I read someone say this in a WhatsApp group. You can always call IRCC to check whether the application has been transferred.
You should not be worried about the application status on GC Key showing as Submitted. This is normal. It only changes if there is a new update on your profile since your last login, or you need to provide IRCC with information. In the former case, it will show as "Application/Profile Updated", in the latter case, it will show as "Action Required". The "Action Required" will only be cleared until the request IRCC has made of you is fulfilled, and the officer checks by hand that it has been fulfilled.
When you receive AIP or SA, at the bottom of the letter, the officer leaves his/her initials. People are keeping track of which officers are in charge of their applications. It is sometimes helpful to compare with other applications being processed by the same officer. Different officers have different workflow habits.
I just passed my medical today! Full timeline below.
Medical should be submitted by the office themselves, after they review your radiograph and bloodwork. It's possible the doctor wasn't aware of the process, but I would call the office when possible to make sure it's getting submitted to where it needs to go.
Actually, you can upload the document using the generic online web form on the IRCC website.

Your doctor's office will send the results to IRCC directly. But they recommend people still submit proof that they have completed their medical. Use the link above to submit the document which your doctor gave you.
