Congratulations!!
My application submission was on May 11, 2023. Biometric updated on 18th. Nothing after that.
we are in the same boat. My biometrics got updated on 17th and nothing after that. I did not do upfront medical but recently my mother went and gave one without medical request from IRCC. Hoping it should not get rejected. Applying for the first time

Also what is date modified on IRCC portal, is it the date when portal software was updated or an officer last worked on my file. Currently, it shows Date modified: 2023-05-23 on my IRCC portal account.

Let us hope for the best. There should be some movement in the next few days. They seem to be working on May applications.

Seems like you know my parents more than I do:) my parents never applied for any Canada visa before and this is their first time. Required is not mandatory thought so yeah according to their account they don't need it so...
Medicals are 100% required for supervisa. are you sure you didn't apply for just a regular visitor visa..

Posted processing times are just estimates and often incorrect. Nobody should be focused on the posted number. The are usually a few select applicants who already have a valid medical and who have no serious medical conditions or irregularities and have a very strong application who get processed within a month. Others have very weak or incomplete applications and are processed within a week or two. Those are assessed via AI and are approved or refused very quickly. That reduces average processing times while others take much longer. Other cases can take over 6 months to process for example if you need TB testing. Even if the posted average processing time is correct that still means files there are files that are processed much faster but also files that are processed much slower which is why it is best not to focus on the average processing times. Announcements about processing times from the minister of immigration are also goals not guaranteed processing times. IRCC may want to process all files in 60 days but that is often not realistic and not what is actually happening.
This makes sense. At what point is it a good idea to contact the MP to see what's happening on the file?

Nope super visa 100%, everyone says that but no one can proof where it says this is mandatory. If most of people receive the medical exam it does not mean it is mandatory. This is the last time I am going to answer questions related to medical for my parents applications.
And below is what I selected while applying

.To visit my children or grandchildren for a period of more than 6 months (super visa)

The medicals are mandatory for Super Visa. The reason it does not say in your case is that you have not received the medical request yet. Once CIC sends you the letter for medicals the status will change in the portal for you.

Hi friends,

1. This is the form for Super Visa applications to feed data for the future Super Visa timeline dashboard (will be Page 3 of the dashboard in my signature).
https://tiny url.com/SuperVisaForm
(remove the space before url" for the link)
When we have at least 5 profiles, I'll start to build visuals for that page.

Please help to spread the dashboard to anyone who would like to join. Thank you.
Thanks @offline136 for providing a very detailed profile.


2. Anyone here could help me with the issue regarding "tie to home country"

My mother (widow) has only a single child and all assets are under our names in Home country.
In this case, what are the solutions to prove her connections to her home country for Super Visa?

Appreciate your help.
