Thank you @Dominico96 for sharing detail of the interveiw,

Glad to hear that you had a great interveiw- i wish you the best of luck and a speedy process. So interview is first and then there will be medical, right?

PSAHR
So, If you approve they give you the paper for medical test. you have to finish your medical test in the same day. I went to clinic where embassy gave me the address of it ( there is also cic website). I passed all tests and they send the all results to Embassy in the same day. After 14 day the new line is added to my ESAC that "Medical results have been received" Actually my friend, you can get information in clinic that you have any dangerous thing in your blood or not. The guys in clinic were amazing and very friendly. And they told me all the results :) I mean they informed me that there is nothing to worry about.

And yesterday my ESAC status changed to Decision Made but not any addition in it. No any new line. But is is just online tool. I am sure they will inform us about confirmation in next week.

Hi @Dominico96 glad to hear that you passed the interview

My application is very similar to yours, I applied in 2016 , I had my interview last March , and I passed the eligibility process , they told me I have to go through background check and then medical check

Are you done with background check .. or you step directly into the medical exam process and no requirement for background check?

Please reply as I am confused , and worry that it took long time
I did not accept any letter for criminal test. the embassy do it without me. They have opportunity to check my background from my home country and where I live currently. But this is about only my case maybe in other application it is different. Actually I am in 21 :) I don't think that It is necessary to check or find ant criminal records about me :) I am joking :)

Hi fellows,

I'm in the same boat as you guys and need your help. We applied May 20, 2018 and July 21, 2018 we got an email that the application is complete and forwarded to Ottawa for further processing.

Can you please share your timeline in regards to the followings?

1- When did you receive acknowledgement of application received from Canada?

2- When did you receive sponsorship approval from Canada?

3- When did you hear for first time from Canadian Embassy outside of Canada?

Thank you in advance for sharing your timeline!
1. It was May, 2017
2. I did not receive any sponsorship approval yet. I am still in process. Just yesterday I saw My ESAC status changed to "decision made"
3. In June, 2017 they started to process my app. next was June 2018 for interview. That is all

Thank you for your response and congratulations on all progresses so far.

When did you receive the application number to check the status of your application on ECAS?

Thanks

It is my pleasure,

I got my application number after 11 month. I think you get this number when applied because after that you have to be opportunity to follow your application. No matter it will be taken to process or not. But this is my opinion. I got it after 11 month because I never asked it from sponsor. If get number you will check it everyday. It makes you nervous and that is why I waited 11 month. So, If you or your sponsor applied to CIC it means you have already application number, I think

the best for you,

Sorry for late answer. I was very busy.
Nothing changed in my ECAS. I got call from Embassy two times. First they asked me if I want interpreter and the second on was about the interview date and place. They also sent us ( me and sponsor) email and some additional forms for fill out. Be patient and update your phone number in Turkey. Make sure that your phone number is the same with visa office.
hi dear friend,
would please tell us about additional form that you have received ?
did you receive additional forms before interview, after interview or before getting called for interview?
thanks waiting
