I'm getting extremely ansy myself seeing all these applicants sent after my own getting DM... i really haven't heard much of a peep about anything since September/Oct.

Anyone know the number to call to speak to someone? Maybe I'll get an agent feeling empathetic enough to give me some information lol
Has your background check started yet? Since you didn't do your medical exam until January 27th I'd assume that probably slowed things down a bit.

Hi guys, I haven't posted here before but this forum has really helped me out in submitting my application.
I'm in Canada under a Student Visa.

My spousal sponsorship PR application was received on September 7 and is processed in the Ottawa Visa Office.
My MyCIC states that the Background Check is in progress (nothing about that on ECAS though).

But I still don't have a DM. And it seems like everyone else processing in Ottawa got theirs.

Should I be worried?
Is there anything I should do?

---

I don't know if this is of relevance but a while back I submitted an address change in ECAS, yet it still shows my old address.
(Which is fine, my spouse's parents live there)

I'm not sure how I would find out.
I know for sure that it was already started last week.
MyCIC sometimes sends an e-mail telling you something's been updated. Sometimes it doesn't. If you got one recently, and around the right time for when you noticed it, that would probably be when.

I was checking obsessively and caught mind in the middle of the day shortly after it had happened. I never did get an e-mail. My guess is that you'll be in the next batch of DMs.

My medical exam was upfront but it barely went to passed on Jan 27. Other than that it's been very quiet

Oh, okay. I was confused because the date you have listed on your profile is normally the date people use for when they had the exam done. My bad. :)

Just an Update

Mailed the PPR out last Wednesday, they got it on Friday Feb 10

Status in CIC changed to this Application is Aproved on Wednesday Feb 15

Return Envelope mailed on Thursday, would have COPR today if I didn't live 8 hours from civilization.

Will have COPR in my hand on Monday, then take it to the States end of May so my man can finally come home.
Going to be a long wait as I haven't seen him since Xmas and now to wait until end of May :(
