Hi All,

I received a Pre-Arrival Services email today but haven't even had the Medical Request yet for my Federal Application.

Previous update was a request for more information on February 27th.

Does that seem normal to anyone?

Thank you!

My application status is very similar to yours, and I did not submit additional documents. I have not received medical exam request.
But you received the pre-arrival services letter too?

I also got the prearrival service email today. I live in Montreal and I finished my medical in January. See timeline below.

A friend of mine got it too before me and he received it before his medical exam request. He called cic to find out what it means and they said to ignore it if you are an inland applicant.

I think it's a general email they send out.

My timeline;
March 20th 2017 submitted pr
May 29th 2017 got AOR
December 19th 2017 got mmr
January 12th 2018 did medical
February 8th 2018 request for rfpr fee
February 15th 2018 paid rfpr fee
March 21st 2018 recieved pre-arrival message

Sure thing...


You are almost done. You will get your medical soon. There is a movement in your GC key....Your GC key status shows your background check is already in process.
