[Moek90]

Thank you so much.

No worries

That doesn’t sound very positive at all. Have you tried contacting your old home community building? Sometimes it’s possible to get stuff done, because they still have all your files and if you make someone, a family member for example, your representative by writing out an official letter, it might be possible. Give it a try!

I do that for other stuff, but you can´t get someone else to do your passport (they need fingerprints, photos...). I´ll talk to immigration.

And nobody has gotten anything other than the both sponsor's and PA's AoR either? Like sponsor approval or something? (No idea what this is..read it in 2017 thread)

SA (sponsor approval) doesn't happen until the end of the process (average 12 months timeline).

Hi all, I am new on this forum and have a cpl of questions. First, @np08 thanks for the timeline, mine is sort of similar. I have submitted my application for PR through the common-law program with my partner on Feb 27, 2018 and they had received it on March 2. I got the first response from them about the application UCI and app number (AOR?) on March 27 and I had trouble linking my online application but did so on April 3 and uploaded my Schedule A on April 4th. I had already included the PCC with my package since I had just got them then, and they never asked me to upload them (I guess it is fine to send the paper copies). Now since then, I am waiting for the request for the medical exam and a significant time has passed already. I would like to know what is the approximate time frame for this request after the submission based on your experiences? Is there a reason to worry? Also, I am currently an international student and I was wondering if it is possible(how likely?) for me to receive the email with the confirmation for my PR card BEFORE Nov 1st (since this is when I can apply for domestic tuition at the university which are three times cheaper...), which would really help me out a lot!
As far as I know, I only need the medical exam and then just wait for that magical email/letter. Please let me know about the approximate times for all this from your experiences because my parents are already uneasy about it... I did not apply for OWP with my application (dont know why) so please let me know if I will require some other information/documents in the future so that i can accelerate the processing time and hopefully get the email before Nov 1st this year. Thank you very much for your time and input, I do realize that most of the answers can be probably found on their website but it is way too confusing at times. (for some reason it says that new PR cards are processed within 45 days for students, whereas I am pretty sure the time is UNDER 1 YEAR as of right now).

I also send my my OWP and PR file on same day and i also got the same response so far.

Good to know. Thanks

Has anybody who’s applied in 2018 gotten their request for a medical exam yet?

I'm so anxious about my work permit...
They received my application on Feb. 8 but still I haven't received the WP approval. I check their website every hour to see if it updates. :/

Many of us early Feb applicatlnts haven't I'm hoping they'll send a mass approval this week or next.

It will come this week or next. Don't worry too much.

I was a February 8th applicant and have gotten mine approved - got an email about it on the 19th and have gotten it in the mail today

I’m sure the rest of the early February applicants are being processen and will be coming through in the near future

I hope. It makes me depressed to see people that applied few days before getting it before me.

I’m sure it just has something to do with different agents working quicker than others - maybe you just got a slower one ;-)

They are still working on November 2017 applications. I am December 2017 and still no medical request.

 

[rudycm]

By the way they received my application on Feb. 5, not Feb. 8....

Oh, okay. I thought there was a waiting time of 4-5 months, but I guess it’s more like 6-7.

I wish I could just do the medical ASAP and get it over with, lol
