My parents did re-medical yesterday.
Before that the status was "background check in progress" and they asked us to provide some additional documents. I thought we would be on time before our first medicals expire but no, they said to re-do. Several days before the re-medical requests got posted in MyCIC, the status of previous medicals changed from "passed" to "we are reviewing...".

I submitted my mother's passport for PGP visa at NDVO and today I received an email that we need additional documents. MyCIC shows your application is approved. ecas shows decision made But there is a message...."document is invalid". They have dispatched courier back to me. I am hoping to receive it in next couple of days.

Has anyone else come across this? Do you know what it could be

Is it because your passport is expiring within 6 months?

I dont think so, because passport still has few years validity left. It had negligible water damage few years ago. Even after that I was able to get Canadian visitor as well as US visa. So it cant be that (but you never know). I am still waiting for courier to arrive.to know the exact reason.

Hi did you guys by any chance make some kind of spreadsheet to track the applications? Because I’m going to apply for my parents this year if they get picked off the draw and i just wanted to have an idea abt how long does it take for the whole process. Thanks
