Can you tell me what documents you submitted for your spouse?

Why do you have the number of the beast appended to your name?

Hi all, my SOWP Application timelines are as follows:

Application Submitted: 24 February 2024
Biometrics Updated: 29 February 2024

Since then, I have not received ANY update. It has been almost 5 months.

Application Status Tracker says:
Biometrics - Completed
Background Verification - In Progress (since 1st March itself..)
Medical exam - not started
Eligibility - not started

Application number series starts with "W3101.."
Spouse is pursuing PhD in Canada, and thus is on Study permit.

Anyone else with similar timeline or file series?

did you or anyone received any update?

Hi,
I applied for SOWP from India on 6th March and my biometrics was done and updated on 12th March.
I did not do upfront medical before submitting my application and after biometrics I haven't received any request for medical exam.
I did fill the "Request for Medical Exam IMEE form".
Since it has been 6 months now, so I have 2 questions -
i) Can i get upfront medical exam now?
ii) Should i wait for the medical request or should I raise a webform?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for spamming.. it's being 6 months and my medical is also not done, so I was just trying to get some help. I have deleted it from mostly all posts.
If anyone is aware of this situation, can someone please help?

Has your eligibility and background even started? You can do the upfront medical. When does your spouse’s permit expire? Is he on a study permit doing a Masters? If not, that may be why it isn’t being processed. You are not eligible even though you submitted application prior to March 19. IRCC may not even process it. May be easier once spouse is on PGWP.

Eligibility - Not started (Message showing - "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.")
Background check - In process (Message showing - "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.")
Spouse's study permit expires in Sept'25, he is doing PG.

So IRCC has not even started eligibility (opened the file) and probably the reason is because you are no longer eligible. Not much you can do. So program ends in September 2025 or he graduates in May. If graduating in May they may not process. Apply when he has PGWP.
