We got sponsorship approval on 16th May 2016 from CPC-Ottawa, been waiting for 3 months since and still no Medical request ... I wonder what's taking them so long.... any one else on the same boat?

Several reasons I could think of
1. Solely different workload, working style of the unit/officer responsible to review your file
2. File must pass eligibility check before admissibility requests are sent. That is, you have demonstrated genuine relationship with the sponsored person. If extra document or proof is required, you will be communicated in writing. This needs to happen first before medical.
3. Something not working properly either from their end or your end. Check emails, MyCIC accounts, order GCMS note to make sure you got a correct email in there.

Still no SA over here. Last and only time I heard from CIC was back in March when they sent me the initial ARO. Thinking about ordering the GCMS notes. Does anybody have any experience with these?

We got SA on May 20 and file forwarded to Ottawa too. Still waiting for medical/PCC requests.

Have you link the application to MYCIC? If it shows "Review In Progress", it should be fine. Just be patient and keep waiting.

Yes. I heard from someone not in here. They applied in 2015, completed all requests in June, in August - they submitted CSQ and they just got passport request from Singapore. So about 2 months after everything is submitted. I know they've been calling a lot of 2014 files for PPR.

try to call CIC. they may reply. they just replied to me saying nothing has started on my file so wait is the answer. i also ordered gcms a month ago, and all steps are "not started". CIC agent confirmed to me that they haven't started sponsor eligibility and it's not because of lack of any documentation. i think there is some sort of prioritization of files, that's why some are close to getting all done, and some are not even at step 1 like us. my assumption is depending on which LVO will be assigned our file, if they have a huge backlog, they wont transfer new files until some of the backlog is reduced. in our case it will be london, which is one of the busiest handling way too many countries there.

My parents' Police cert and IMM forms arrived in Singapore office last Thursday (Aug 11) but the "Review of submitted documents" status in MyCIC still shows "We need an additional document from the applicant".

Should I email the office to confirm that they did receive the documents?

Thank you all for sharing. I have not been able to link my parents myCIC yet. Tried all combinations. My husband and I are both together sponsoring my dad+mom. Plus we have 2 kids. So i tried entering 2, 4, 6 in family size, all fails.

Our MYCIC status has been showing REVIEW IN PROGRESS for weeks but nothing happens.

Ever since we linked our case to MYCIC, I seldomly check status via CIC application status. But just now I logged in and finally, it shows our case is IN PROCESS, on August 18, 2016. :eek:

I think we're gonna get med/pcc request soon ;D fingers crossed.
