A BC PNP → federal Express Entry applicant (PPR-relevant timeline: registered BC PNP Oct 25 2021, ITA Oct 26 2021, applied Nov 4 2021, additional document request Jan 18 2022, nomination Jan 31 2022, EE ITA Feb 2 2022, EE application + AOR March 24 2022, upfront medical passed May 26 2022) asked how long it typically takes after 'Medical Passed' to see further movement.
- Roughly 3 months is a commonly reported gap. Multiple members in the thread independently reported about 3 months between their medical being marked passed and their next status update — one of them noted this held even though they'd already given biometrics earlier for a work permit (i.e., biometrics being on file already didn't shorten the medical-to-next-update gap).
- This is anecdotal, not an official SLA. IRCC doesn't publish a fixed 'medical to decision' timeline — these figures are pattern-matching from members' own files around the same period (2022), so treat them as a rough benchmark rather than a guarantee, especially since processing speed shifts over time.
Takeaway: if your medical shows 'passed' and your file goes quiet, ~3 months of no further update was common for this cohort — worth checking current processing times before assuming a delay is unusual.
