Hi All,

Has anyone reached to an agent recently when u called ircc?

I been trying for last on week but no luck!
Any tips or tricks...?
you dont speak to an agent when you call IRCC. you speak to a call center staff who has no power to do anything on your application except tell you what you could get from GCMS notes.

It's 2 weeks tomorrow for me and the clinic has still not uploaded all our results :( . The lady even had the nerve to ask why I was so eager :D.
That's fairly typical, I believe. For the first medicals I had in 2020, I had to wait 2 weeks for the appointment and then I had to wait 2 weeks for the results to get uploaded. I'm guessing it's worse now with all the re-medicals. This particular clinic in Florida (Stat Medical Clinic), however, seems to be low volume for immigration medicals - I was able to get next day appointment and a 3 day turnover for results and e-medical upload. A huge thank you to @PRANIT01 again for steering me towards there.

Most know that. when people call IRCC, it's to know the progress status on their application without waiting 30 - 90 days for gcms notes.

Wow. Did you apply from IRCC or CBSA? I have found CBSA to be better with response time. A friend also applied from IRCC in September, she never got it till date. I applied with CBSA at the end of November, at end of Dec they requested a 45-day extension after 30 days, and I got it within the extension period. IRCC just ignores some requests completely.

There's usually an email address to contact in confirmation letter you receive when you apply for the notes. Perhaps consider emailing them?

it was requested through IRCC, but yeah good idea. I'll probably drop them an email to prod them. this process has been seriously frustrating. we cant even contact our MPs for help because 1. they ignore emails too, and 2. their offices arent open due to covid and so they wont pick up calls or return voicemails.

I uploaded ADRs today and after fews hours it now shows Not Applicable. Is it an automated change or did someone actually looked at the files? Any idea anyone?

I received both together on feb 17. It’s possible med come separate from adr, but from what I’ve seen, adrs usually come together in one bundle. So you might get just one more step in you app, having to submit adr.
I think I can see the finish line. Just recieved rprf adr 20mins ago. Medical Exam tomorrow and hopefully Ppr next week.
