Hi concorde

Even we got like 3 mails telling us your account has been updated when we login and check nothing changed.

But Recently on May 7th we got a mail when i check medicals review in progress. But we did not submit any medicals.

Did you get any mail like that?
Nope.

Although, it does look a bit peculiar this time round. My medical was done in 2014, May. My last application was filed in Feb which was rejected within 30 days, however, because medical was done upfront, status had changed to "Passed" within 2 days of filing, which is not the case this time.

As of now, it says, "not needed at this time". So yes, it is bit slow this time round.

Even my wife sowp rejected on oct 2014 but our medicals are valid till march 6th 2014 but we applied online on 25th march where we need to submit medicals when they request.

Even we saw the same thing online not needed at this time till may 7th after that we got a mail and when we login cic in the application section "Review of medical results- Review in progress" we wish god that they will send us the medical request this time.

i consult my immigration consultant he said they will send the medicals soon he said.

Applied for Spouse open work permit- March 17th, 2015
Got Medical request- April 27th.
Medical done - May 6th. No reply after medicals.

Its been almost 15th days since medicals. No response concerning medical or Passport request.
Is there any thing I need to worry about? Any idea what is taking so long now?

Hello,

On my open work permit there is a clause that says "Not authorized to work in health service field", does this mean I'm allowed to work as a receptionist at a medical clinic or not? Since technically receptionist is a job that belongs in the Administration field. I've asked my lawyer and I'm trying to get through to CIC customer service (no luck so far)... I want to hear your opinions or experience as well.

Many thanks for replying.
