What usually happens after the medical request?

[santiago.ac]

So I couldn't get an upfront medical, and last week I received the request for medical. I did it on Friday and now my application has been updated saying I passed the medical.
Yay, an update.
In normal times, how much time after a passed (requested) medical would you ideally get a decision?


My eligibility review started silently a month or so ago, but I'm still missing biometrics so I know I won' t get a full approval, just AIP.

When did you apply? And also, wherr did you apply from?

When things were normal, you would get a decision anytime from two to four weeks after or longer but if the Visa application centre( VAC) in your country is opened....you might get it very soon..goodluck!

Oh, thanks. Sadly no, the VAC here isn't open.

Seems like you'll get AIP definitely, as VO only asks for medical if you have passed the eligibility criteria.

Ah, thanks! Hope you're right!

Hi, quick update, just received approval in principle (august 4), less than a week after passing medical. Super relieved.

Congratz!
I may get a bad luck. Applied on may13, got request and completed biometrics, medical exam passed + eligibilty started on 20 june. Still waiting a change from then.
So 7 weeks with no update!

Did you get the AIP mail in gc account?

I applied on May 27th from Peru.
Received biometrics letter two days later, haven't been able to send them yet.
After that, I received a few ghost updates: my status changed from "your action is required" back to "submitted", even though I didn't send biometrics. And my eligibility review and background check started silently in June, I think.
I received the request for medical July 22, did the exam the 24th.
Passed medical exam July 31.
Received AIP August 4.

Did you get the AIP mail in gc account?

Yes. I received an email saying I had a message about my application. The actual AIP letter was listed as "other" on my GC account.

Thanks! Good luck! I think they've been sending more decisions in the last week than in the last couple of months, so hopefully you'll get yours soon.
