I just checked my application status and this is my time line
We received your application for permanent residence on August 17, 2011.
We started processing your application on January 24, 2012.
Medical results have been received ( I believe in september 12)
Does it take 9 months to process from January 24th or the processing time includes it and how long do you guys think it will take
I also noticed my mailing address has changed to my address and not the lawyers, do I need to update it to my lawyers address since the application was set to theirs
Thank for any help
I applied in Dec'09 2010. They started processing my application on Aug'3 2011. So yeah, I guess it's normal to have such a long wait for them before they start processing a application.
You can look at my TL on the left. The DMP office sent my medicals on August 26. And I still haven't heard from CIC. But my case is different... I believe it's taking longer because I had send in a request to remove the dependent's name (my partner) from the application on August 10th. (that is after they started processing my application ... ) My address on e-cas disappeared last week on Friday. And I received an email from Local MP's office stating that the application is with a VO for Final Review... and that I should receive an email from them soon.. *keeping my fingers crossed*...
I understand you might be stressed. Here is what you can do:
1) Apply for CAIPS notes under Privacy Act.
2) Or, contact your local MP's office and give them all the details of your file and request them to find out whats happening with your file.
I hope this helps.
