Yes sir, you got your AOR!!! Now the SA...oh and that means Sponsorship Approval. You may get Bio and Med request in between.
We were asked for upfront medical which we submitted for my wife. That shows passed and how much do you think it takes to get Bio request?
Wait wait.....let me confirm that. You were asked for Upfront medicals?
Did you receive a medical examination request letter from IRCC ---> and then on the basis of that letter you got the medical appointment.
OR
Did you contacted the Medical examination center, simply gave them UCI and did the medical?
So I am an Outland PNP candidate. I have applied for PR in April 2022. Below is my timeline.
I got ITA in March-2022 and applied in April -2022.
• 2/2/2022 – AINP Nomination (Got NOI in Sep-2021 and Nomination in February-2022)
• In March – ITA
• 4/2/22 - Application sent
• 6/16/22 - Biometric request
• 6/16/22 - Medical passed
• 7/8/22 - Biometrics submitted
December got married and notified IRCC through webform in January. Received a letter from IRCC in May asking for documents of wife along with medical receipt. We did not have a UCI # for my wife. So, we figured we will do a upfront medical and upload the receipt.
5/23/23 - Submitted all documents
6/2/23 - They added dependent in the IRCC portal and we got the email stating documents are uploaded.
6/7/23 - IRCC updated passes medical
Hope that makes everything clear.
Firstly, thank you for providing the background. Every bit of detail helps.
But your response, is the second response i have received personally that, UPFRONT MEDICALS is ACCEPTED by CIC in Spousal PR cases.
thank you for confirming that.
And now to your question. Biometrics request letter arrives 1-2 days after AOR. So if they haven't sent it yet, believe me they will within couple of days at most.
I am not sure you should interpret as such because normally if you add a dependent to your express entry application (I added my son in 2021 and I got the same request; medical, receipt to show I have paid the fee to add him, brith certificate and so on) so I did an upfront medicals for him and uploaded it as requested. The above person's application started as an express entry application and not a spousal application, these two are different. Any one who adds a dependent to their express entry application be it child or spouse will be asked for medicals after the addition has been acknowledged by IRCC.
The document checklist for spousal sponsorship clearly states to wait to be contacted before going for the medicals. it maybe that some or a few have done it and they were lucky but it is better to follow instructions.
I was actually convinced on that, till i saw this page on CIC website. Have you checked it? While reading it, the critical difference is the requirement that you have to be in Canada. But what im seeing in 2 different cases so far (the first instance), that CIC has accepted upfront or prior medicals.

Yes this is the case if you’re applying as an in-land applicant and had a medical ms completed in the last 5 years.
This is a March outland thread so I am assuming that every post here relates to outland applicants except stated otherwise.
As for the first instance his post was not clear but there is a possibility that he did it ahead, good for him.
I am personally pro- following instructions as written hence, my above write up. I will stop here so I don’t skew away from the purpose this thread was created. All the be to us all.
Received Biometrics Request Letter today. Just like you guessed.
