November 2016....refused ...appealed December 2016.....ADR September 25th 2017 - WE WON!!
Have you contacted immigration? Has anything on ecas been updated? Have you tried asking your MP’s office to contact CIC for you, just to see if they can give you a time frame even. The unknown is always the hardest!
All of the above ☹ December 20th I called and was told all documents have been uploaded ...it's just sitting for an officer to review . My MP called on my behalf they told her that they had all the documents and his medical ....that's all the info they could provide. They told her that appeals are not faster processed then regular (which I think is not true ).....she said she tried her best ....but at the end of the day from I understood it's sitting there waiting to be processed. I also sent a letter in the mail to the minister and emailed immigration . The email response was just my file was in line to be reviewed by officer .

If I don't hear anything by January 20....one month since I last contacted them I'll try emailing again, calling, writing another letter to the minister and maybe my MP again ? What do you think ?

Its annoying because I'm giving birth on April 15....not knowing if he will be here is painful. I'm going to all these prenatal classes by myself , go to all doctor appointment by myself while everyone had their partners .... And everyone at work and friends ...everyday "when Maher coming ?" And e eryday I have to explain I don't know and explain the whole process. I'm trying to hold it together but it's hard . We both feel powerless .

I would continue to contact them, maybe you will get someone on the phone who is interested in helping and search for what you are looking for. My MP’s office has been great I have to say....keep the faith girl

April will be 8 months since appeal correct? If he’s not here by then there’s an issue....most applications now are only taking 6-8 months from start...appeals are already started. Why does it take so long to approve?!?!

Yes April will be 7 months . So I'm hoping things get moving these next two months ☹ I know I feel we should be priority all of us who won appeals l.....they already out us through the ringer with their unfair processes.

I hope this the case for me to.....send updated forms november 9th....they recieved and updated Nov 14....and been waiting since then ☹
Updated form will take a month probably. Mid March should b
Well I sent updated forms/medical/security november 9th. And have been waiting since then. What do you think will take a month ?

Another lady on here sent her updated forms Jan 5 two months after me and got a "pre arrival email " already.

I wonder if the process and speed vary on country regardless of if it go to Ottawa.
After receiving pre-arival means they are working on your visa to be stamp on your passport when they ask you for the original

I would afterall if we don’t look after ourself, who will? I have called a few times since Nov 30 and my Mp’s Office has called twice...each time we got better news than the last time. Don’t give up. We have the right to know what’s happening with our files

No, most ADR appeals take I’m guessing around a year+ from start of appeal to visa...we are 10 mths from denial now and I think we are getting close

Our original application took 5 months from submitting to interview (where my husband was denied) so appeal is actually double what we waited originally. Isn’t exactly fair after going through the whole thing but as well all know....nobody at CIC cares

To be honest and on offense, you are the extremely lucky one, that you only waited 10 months from denial to DM. The majority people here won't get ADR, then in general speaking, it will realistically to wait about 2 years just to get the hearing date for their full appeal. So, don't keep giving the false expectations to those unfortunate ones. The waiting is already hard for them.
