Overseas spouse and dependents of protected person and convention refugee timeline - Share here

I submitted my family's PR application in March 2023. I didn't receive my final decision until October 2025. Prior to that, I received my daughter's first medical examination request in July 2024 and a second medical examination request in June 2025.

Thanks. Why twice? Because I have also minor outside Canada. Were you in pilot program

I believed the physical exam was valid for one year, so I had it done twice. I wasn't in the pilot program.

According to IRCC’s Program Delivery Instructions regarding “Protected persons’ minor children who are at risk”, visa officers should consider expediting processing when:

• children are separated from both parents,
• children are at risk due to lack of proper care or protection,
• delays may expose the child to further risk.

Please refer to the above information if you have minors overseas.

I am the principal applicant in Canada and received my EcoPR on November 14th. Since I only have one minor daughter in the country of origin, I wrote to the IRCC last night requesting expedited processing, and fortunately, I received her PPR today.

Hi, how did you write to the IRCC? Did you send a web form?

Yes. When you write down you and your child’s information they will let you choose the overseas office, then the system will assign the overseas office to reply.

It expired. IRCC tries to minimize the volume of remedicals but this happens frequently given long processing times especially in certain countries. Agree this must be the pilot program.

Today we received the Pre-Arrival letter from IRCC for my overseas partner (this is the first time we receive it). Hopefully that means something is moving. I'm so f*&% tired.

Did anyone get any useful information from GCMS notes for their overseas partner? The last one I got says they are still checking her eligibility

Here is my update:

- My partner in India received her Medical request this week
- I had applied for her GCMS notes and she has passed eligibility (finally!), criminality and Info sharing
- Security and Medical are listed as Not Started
