Over 5 Months since Medical Request - March Applicant

[maker87]

Hey guys,

I got the medical request on September 13, 2012 and CPP-O received the meds October 5. ECAS got updated to Medicals Received around October 20 and I have heard nothing since then. I emailed them beginning of January and they said they are waiting for results of the mandatory background enquiry. Sent a second email beginning of February and no response yet.

This is really worrying and stressful. Please advise what I can do to check what's happening - are there any options? Is anyone going through something similar. I'm a March 2012 applicant. How much longer do you think this can take?

Thanks.

EVERYONE goes through this. Take a deep breath and try to relax, there is nothing you can do but wait. You already know that the posted "processing time" is 13 months, it should not be a surprise that you are still waiting. The more you email CPP-O, the less time they have to process applications.

Also understand -
1. There is nothing magical about the date of the medical request, in relation to processing times.
2. Everyone's background is different. In general, older people have more experience to check than younger people. Larger family size means more people to check. Your country of citizenship, countries you have lived in, all affect processing times.

You can see other people's experiences on Trackitt-

Otherwise, you can order your GCMS notes (see the links posted by yahoo7). But I suggest you find another source of patience, and try to leave CPP-O alone

Have you e-mailed them to enquire about the application status? Instead of needlessly worrying?

The waiting business kills ,I totally understand your worry but we all can not do anything to push them to speed up things. In my case its been only two months since I did the medical and I am going crazy already !
