Hey all, just wanted to give you some updates on my timeline;
(Inland Applicant)
AR: January 10th, 2020
AOR: February 20th
Biometrics Request: February 20 (Completed on the 21st)
ADR: July 27th (CDN Birth Cert for Common Law Spouse, US Police Checks, RCMP Checks)
PAL: July 28th
ADR: Submitted (August 27th)
Upfront Medical: August 31st - Webform submission
Now just waiting for Medical Passed notification, hopefully in about a month.
IRCC Portal:
- We are reviewing eligibility (yet I think AOR and PAL would indicate this is passed)
- We do not need medicals/biometrics at this time
- No interview required
- We are completing your background check now
After ADR is submitted, do you typically get a notification that ADR documents have been reviewed? Also after medical passed, it appears that I am only waiting on security (which can take 6 months... although I have been in Canada since 18 so that may be easier on the process time). Does that seem right?
Also ensure that your estimated time of application completion (visible on the portal) is within 12 months, as medicals are only valid for a year.
Basically find an approved panel physician in your country/province/state, book an appointment stating it is an upfront medical. Then results are transmitted to IRCC via a process called Webform.
How did you transmit your fingerprints?
Typical processing time is like 3-5 business days after they receive it, so waiting from March defiantly indicates something is wrong. In this case fingerprints were transmitted digitally from a local Canadian police force to the RCMP directly with the required applicant info (any police force in the country can help with this). If outland... then I am not so sure if that process is vastly different.

No, maybe I was misunderstood
I did the fingerprints and had the results in one week. I sent them to IRCC via GCKey in March and since then it says "you have uploaded the additional documents" but they haven't been revised
since corona affected the process time, they should have change some of the requirements, it is not fear, they cant have people in all these stress. it is not like it is free and the even increase the processing fee. the govenwmw
