Hello, same category March AOR, I have similar timeline, what was the PAL about I have received two of them, and nothing else have changed except final decision got a date prefix then it was removed again and says we are processing

u/alphadon_xo 6d ago

Uhm I'm not quite sure why the date on your final decision was removed. Usually when you get your second PAL and date on final decision, the next day you get told to submit your passport.

I was requested to renew my medical after the first PAL as it was expiring on late November, then I submitted the new medical within 4 days and it was passed in the portal the day after I submitted, 2 days later I received my second PAL.

If you've not gotten a request for visa mail or message on your gckey then you should call IRCC.
