medicals received on e-cas means?

[safa.umair]

The status on my ecas currently states
1. Permenant residence application received: november 20 2013
2. Medical results received

Last correspondance with cic was in March 2014 from Abu dhabi we got the acknowledment letter of receipt and addictional doc request.

What does medical received indicate? When can we expect passport request?

Please help me out, thanks!

It doesn't indicate anything beyond the fact that they have received your medical.

Current posted processing time for Abu Dhabi is 15 months, so you shouldn't expect to hear anything until near the end of the year.

I appreciate your reply! Medical received comes under the decision made section on ecas.. Doesn't it mean that our passport request should come in soon?

There is no relation between medical update on ecas and passport request. It can come anytime, but not because your medicals are updated.

I appreciate your reply! Medical received comes under the decision made section on ecas.. Doesn't it mean that our passport request should come in soon?

As I said, it doesn't mean anything except that they have received your medical. It has nothing to do with the passport request.

You said you also got a request for additional documents too, right? You should probably attend to getting those docs back to CIC asap so your timeline isn't extended even further. (We had "Meds received" pretty much from the get-go, good to know at that point but never took it as indicative of an accelerated application).

 

[safa.umair]

Thank you all for your replies and yes I sent the additional docs already

Does your Ecas shows Decision Made ?? Or just application received ??

Well if it shows Application Received, you have to wait many more months as other posters here indicated. In case it shows Decision Made, it could be yes or no and you will be notified soon.

I think you've just copied & pasted what is presented on the e-cas application process Explanation. It is a guideline, in other words, of what each step of the process usually involves...EVERYONE sees this same table. Because 'Medical Results Received' appears in the 'Decision Made' stage and they have already received your Med Results doesn't mean they have decided on your case. (Many people have Meds Received even in the initial 'Application Received' stage too; I haven't heard of anyone getting a 'Decision Made' status change while still owing additional docs to CIC, but I could be wrong). What is the status of your file in the line of the table before this, where you have clicked to get to this point? Since you had to provide additional documents you are likely in the "Documentation Verified" stage. Many people have said on this forum that the e-cas is not always in sync with what's actually happening with their application anyway; what is more accurate about your specific case is the email or letter you receive directly from CIC that outlines where you are in the process / what they still need from you (if anything) & so on. If you've sent in the missing docs you'll just have to wait now for the next email, likely with a "Decision Made" reference if all is well.

Medicals received doesn't mean your visa is ready. However a decision has been made most likely on your eligibility for the category for which you applied. There are different levels to the processing as you can see from the ecas explanation.
I also doubt they will update your Medicals if additional documentation are still required from you.
Are there any cases in this forum where an applicant was called for an interview after getting "medicals" update?

 

[Avadava]

"Medical results have been received" appears under "Decision made" in the Explanation because with all other types of applications (Skilled worker, etc.) the medical exam is requested by the VO in the last stage of the process.

This is not the case for spousal sponsorship though, because the Family Class (and only Family class) have the right to do an upfront medical exam, meaning that the VO will have the medical results at the beginning of the application.

So in the case of a spousal sponsorship (Family Class), "Medical results have been received" means only that the VO matched your application file with the eMedical exam number (UMI (Unique Medical Identifier) - written on your eMedical paper) in their system. And in all cases, it is at the beginning of the process, after SA, when your app reaches the VO.

Thanks for the replies.

 

[safa.umair]

Does anyone know how you can contact a VO?

 

[rhcohen2014]

Does anyone know how you can contact a VO?

on your sponsorship approval letter/email, there is information for how to contact your visa office by mail, email and fax. they do not share phone numbers for visa offices as far as i know.
