Do let me know once you hear from IRCC. Did you have to do your biometrics?

Sure, Biometrics has been done already.

Same here. Had done my biometrics earlier and they are still valid. I checked my status today and the background and eligibility checks have not been started yet. What about you?

Me too. Don't worry, someone said it won't be updated even when they send you PPR. I thought we still haven't reach the one year mark, so cross our fingers and toes , keep our very patience and wait . God, what else could we do?

Hey Everyone, our case was assigned to the London office as well and here's my current timelime:

- Submitted Spousal Application: 14th November 2022
- Received AOR: 6th January 2023
- Received Federal Approval to sponsor: 27th January 2023
- Received approval from Quebec: 6th March 2023 (We had to do this additional step because our province is quebec).
- Biometrics already submitted previously.

Now I'm curious why they haven't sent me the Medical Request yet, some people get it 1 month into their application and others at a later stage.
Also did any of you link our application to GCKey?

Can't comment on how fast London sends medicals, I don't have information about which office is processing me. In the SA they didn't mention it.
But can you share how fast you got your CSQ? When did you submit it? Do they send any emails or physical letters of any kind or one day it just pops up in the mail box with CSQ inside?

And my application is linked in GCKey, got medical request from GCKey.

And my application is linked in GCKey, got medical request from GCKey.

After receiving the federal Approval to Sponsor on January 27th, we were instructed to apply for CSQ in the same email.
We applied by mail on February 3rd. All documents have to be printed and sent physically to the address listed on the website. On February 9th, the money for the CSQ application was withdrawn and we received our CSQ in the mail yesterday (6th March), however the date of approval on the letter dates back to February 20th.

Regarding GCKey, i haven't linked my application to GCKey yet because I don't see the purpose, I want them to keep sending my message to my email directly and not through GCKey but i'm worried they're trying to communicate with my through GCKey and I don't have an account hahah. I'm checking my application on the PR tracker.
