September 1st Application.

I had initially mentioned on the group that I called IRCC regarding my medicals showing -passed.
They said they are using my medicals from the first time I entered canada on a student visa.
I called IRCC twice to confirm and got the same response. Good.

Well, I just got a medical and notice of assessment from CRA(sponsor and PA) request. Meanwhile the Sponsor hasn’t got any communication whatsoever after the initial AOR.
I also notice that the request originated from Vancouver processing centre.

September applicant, and i justtttttt got my medical request. And I live inPeterborough, so why Vancouver?

Wondering if they smell a rat? Is this normal? And since I just got my medical request, I doibt I will hear something by September 2018?

Any thoughts fellas?
Oh man, I was the one who told you a couple of weeks ago that I hope they would not ask for another medical exam near the end. Now I wish that's the only thing they need to make a decision on your application.

No one could actually tell when will the good news is coming. It is usually just a waiting game. But dont worry, it will come soon. I am an August 14 applicant and so far its just DM for Sponsor that we got.

I know your feeling... i'm March 2017 application and still waiting. My eligibility is not yet been start. I'd made several phone calls to CIC and webform but just ask me to wait.

Did they ask you more documents to provide? and what province are you located?

August 17th applicant, ECAS shows Decision Made on both sides but haven’t received any letter. Got AIP yesterday so I’m guessing I’ll get the official DM letter in the next few days.

Hi all,
Congrats to everyone sharing their good news. I wonder if someone could help me with a doubt, I got approved for PR yesterday, and I got a letter saying that Etobicoke office will contact me to arrange an appointment. I am traveling outside Canada next week, would this affect my landing interview? Or does anyone have an idea if I can do the landing at the airport at my return? (I have my work permit).

Hi, I just linked my application today with the infos:

Application/profile details
Application step Current status Help
Review of eligibility We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents We do not need additional documents.
Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

But we have seen the DM shown on both side on ECAS. We received a letter in the email to let us know that MTL Office will be in touch soon.

Is this normal?

Med's Done....

Hello everyone,
I submitted my PR application in January 2018, all docs are in place, got a request for a medical exam recently. Everything seems to be going smoothly... But when I looked at my CRA account, it turned out that I haven't updated CRA when I and my bf became common-law. According to papers it's October 31st(and that's what I submitted to CIC), but according to CRA it's December 31st. Will there be any problem that far into the process? Can they refuse my application? Should I change it from December to the actual date now? Please, help!!
