Hi,

If u r not an NDVO case, by receiving meds - it's assumed that u've completed ur b/ground checks. After which, in only one situation those docs could be asked again, i.e. if ur file went to ECU, b'coz they reAssess the cases once again. This has happened with many since 2011. And with ECU we really cannot put a timeframe to our case processing.

Sorry for being unable to give out a/ny clear-cut response/timeframe.

Qorax
and what abt NDVO Qorax???

Client 1 Required visa to be stamped on his/her passport while the client 2, do not required visa, possible he/she is is already Canadian or american Visa holder/passport holder.
Thanks nekeol... I was expecting same. I was confused because, in my first GCMS notes that I received in June, for Client 1, which is my wife in India, it is mentioned that "Counterfoil Required: No" but in the second notes that I got in August, same is mentioned as "Conterfoil Required: Yes".. I guess its because, by default this is "No" and later while processing the file they might have updated it to "Yes" for the person who is being sponsored. Correct me if I am wrong.

To be honest guys, I started to loose confidence from the answer we receive on our enquiries, because before I receive the medical results request by 2 weeks I sent email asking about my application status, they replied "your application is still Awaiting officer review" however the request for medical checks was sent by mail before the date of this email. this simply means that the emails that they are sending are related to your subject and they are not even looking to your gcms notes.
I dunno if someone can take the risk and ask them a question that is not related to his case.... lol. this will be so funny. :D
