Thank you. Yes we can finally be together.
I hope you get approved soon too. Did you hear back anything about your application?

Thank you. Yes we can finally be together.
I hope you get approved soon too. Did you hear back anything about your application?

No, it’s been silence since September 9th. I even sent a webform and they didn’t respond to me…hoping to hear something at the end of this month.

I hope you hear something soon. It was silent for us for a long time too, then during this last month everything just kept coming one after another, every few days was a new update. Just keep hanging in there you will be done soon. The waiting can be so hard though.

I'll still be around, so let me know when you get approved, praying for you.

Thank you! I hope it will be like that when we finally hear from them and I will definitely keep you in the loop.

Today the Copr number appeared in the pr tracker and the application status was updated to closed.

My husband is still waiting to get back his passport.

 

[Moeally]

A small update..the medical section went blank in the GCkey tracker. Does this mean they will ask us to do it again soon? Did yours go blank @MARIE43?

 

[MARIE43]

Yes, ours went blank and then changed to in process when they requested us to do the medical again. Look out for a medical request letter soon. The expiry date of the medical will be the same expiry date of the copr.

Check both GCkey tracker and pr tracker. I've noticed that sometimes one updates before the other. For example, pr tracker had shown background check and eligibility were completed for us far before GCKey updated. Also medical updated in GCKey before pr tracker.
