Hi folks,
My wife and I sent our initial application to Sydney NS in May 2010. Got approval after ~5 months in October 2010. Mailed all supporting documents in Feb 2011. we got the medical forms in the mail on May 12, 2012. Finished medical exam on May 28, 2012, RPR Fee was sent couple day before buffalo office shut down. and finally FBI report was sent in late June and was in Ottawa early July 2012. I tried to check my status online several times and nothing shows up. Sent three email( one each month ) to get update from Ottawa, no reply from their side. Have no idea even if they have started processing or not. This was my story:) ;D

I send them several emails but they even didn't replied the single one. However, I have the confirmation that the medical result was signed by someone over there. Why aren't they updating till 5 months? How long they want us to wait..forever??...... frustrating :( :(

Hi CyTric,

Have you ordered a GCMS note? Maybe your medical exam is already passed! I have a friend, his medical was already passed based on the GCMS note, but on the CIC ecas it was not even received.

The visa office does not always give updated information to CIC. That's why sometimes the ecas is several months outdated and even shows "IN PROCESS" when my friend finished landing.

We almost have the same timeline. Do you have that updated line "Medical result received" in your eCAS?? I believe that should come first before PPR and most folks have that line within 1-2 months after medical results are delivered. I am afraid since I don't have that updated line to assure myself.

Hello xzhgry,

I hope that be the case. However, I haven't applied to GCMS note yet. Do I need to be physically in Canada to order one? I am in US? Any ideas??
Thanks
