To those who medical documents status change, how long did it take to update after your doctor send the exam?

I feel like Im falling behind, my status is Review in Progress since February 17. Nothing has changed in regards to background check or medical.

Recently I went thru medicals and the doctor told me if there is any problem with meds then further tests will be carried out in a week. So clinic would contact you for further test, in case of issues. I know CIC has the last authority to decide on reports but I believe only process is taking time. So stay positive. Looks like people are expecting 3 months of processing for PR against 6 months promised by CIC. :p :p :p

I submitted the documents on Feb 19 and on the AOR letter received on Feb 20 it says that I applied on Jan 4th - I believe that it's the time I started my online profile. Do you think that 6 month of process can be relevant to the date specified on the AOR letter - Jan 4th?

This is an interesting question and i hope it should start from that date as 4th Jan in your case and 3 Jan in mine. but there is a down side of it that if somebody has started his profile on 2nd January and get an ITA in June then his/her 6 months would already be completed. so does not make any sense in that case.

Definitely not. CIC website stated when the start time and end time for this 6-month period and it noted that the 6-month period only applies to time that CIC has control of. If you take 3 months to get a Police Certificate then CIC is not responsible for that extra 3 months :)

Good luck.

Instead of worrying about why your application doesn't have any updates for the past two weeks while others are getting requests for more documents and background check updates, consider that you have submitted an application that includes everything that CIC asks for; thus, there is no updates for you.

In terms of background check status, if yours say not needed at this time I'd consider yourself lucky because it basically means CIC hasn't find anything out of place that need extra check. I guess if they do not need to spend extra time on your application they won't update it now and focus on the ones that need extra work. Now, I am not encouraging people to submit incomplete application to prompt attention from CIC because this could prolong your application especially if extensive background check is needed.

Last but not least, consider we are all the lucky ones who can fast track through the system compare to the ones who applied through the old system :)

Good luck to you all.

Then you need to translate all your original copies into English. They need to be able to understand it and the translation needs to be official too, can't just be done by yourself.

Good luck.

I think you are wrong. When they say Not needed at this time means they havent reviewed that item.

I signed in today and saw that the Background check changed to In progress..

I hope all these changes mean they're really working fast. They do need to show that the EE works as promised.
