congratulations, you're done. That's positive for sure. They would not refuse an application without giving you opportunities to address their concerns, so if you haven't heard from them, it means the decision is positive. You might get your SA, AIP, and DM letter with some delay, or not at all, but you're done anyway. You are now waiting for a landing appointment letter, which still can take a few weeks to come depending on your location.

Most likely approved or else you would've received an email referred to as the "fairness letter" explaining why they may deny you and what you should do to fix their final decision. Since you haven't received that it's most likely positive. Congrats! You're soon finished!

I just has concern that the BG Check for the applicants who came from Asian countries will take longer time? Im sep 2016 applicant and still in BG check and receive nothing
No, I don't think so. Usually the only things that slows them down is: trouble validating history, a lot of travel history, another person with the same name is found, if adverse information is found, asylum seekers and refugee claims, etc. Location doesn't usually matter, provided the country on the other side is cooperative.

Hello Profiler,

You read that wrong (or I typed it wrong).

Those are SEPARATE items in the list. Stated another way:
- Adverse information is found
- Asylum seekers
- Refugee claims

BG and Security checks can take 3-6 months. Usually they are started earlier in the process...

Hi all! Have some questions about my inland common law application. I applied on June 2016(cic received file on 22nd of June), got a request of additional document for IMM 5406 and medical exam on Feb 2017.
But the they send an email next day saying that I don't need to take a medical exam and just disregard the previous requests( just for medical) and weird thing is that I didn't do the upfront when I submit the file.
On april 2017, I got another request of police certificate and July 2017, I got an email saying I passed the Eligibility and next step will be security and background check. Still no update afterward. Does anyone ever got the email like that??Also I still don't understand why I don't need any medical exam, is there any chance they gonna ask me to do the medical later? It's been 15months and I'm getting tired of the processing :'(

Did you submit the medical upfront (with your application)?

No I didn't. I speculate that I've been Canada almost like 4 years and couple years ago when I extend my study permit, I did a medical exam and they still have my history so they don't need it. Is it possible?
Not likely. Permits are valid for 1 year. They can extend the validity, but not usually past the second year. If it's been less than 2 years, then it's possible.
