My Applicant side Status also changed to Decision Made on March 10. However, no news after that. My MP will be asking them soon.

Another application got Decision same days as me and he got PPR 3 days after.

Usually they contact by email in a week or two after Decision Made.
Hmm ,let's see

Hello everyone, for the medical form(IMM 1017), it is mentioned in the instructions to bring along four recent photographs. The size of the photograph is not mentioned anywhere so does the photograph size has to be passport-size or a different dimension, such as the photograph attached in the spousal visa application, that is 50 mm x 70 mm?
Please kindly respond. Thank you :)
New applicants who have gone for medical, please assist this poster.

No I don't have a lawyer but my application was filed by someone who deals with spouse sponsorships. Do you think I should get this done by that person??

if you have a representative(lawyer/agent) that is dealing on your behalf that you wont be able to link the application.

Who got the additional document request in your case...the applicant or that person?

guys jst wanted to knw if someone is doing landing first time do they have to take direct flight or can they make stops?
Hi,

You can take what ever you like. It is not mandatory to take direct flights. But try to avoid taking connections where you are required to take transit visa.

It was new year's break first and now spring break...they should give us a break now...its so frustrating, most of the work week passed without any news...the backlog doesnt seem to end, lvo is working on files in no specific order..sending add doc reqs and re meds to jun, july, aug while pprs to applications crossing 12 months.

Useless 3 months its been and I have entered the eighth month now...dont know how long I would have to wait (looks like lvo is taking the 13 months processing time advertised on the website very seriously). :(

Just call the medical center IOM up and they will guide. Its actually passport size photos with white background and light colored clothing, is what they require.

I completely agree, it's so frustrating to not hear anything at all! Last two weeks there was basically no news.

I really hope the 13 month timeline is not a real thing, I hope they pick up their pace soon!
