Hello,hope everyone is well here.please am jay and I need some help with my Notes I received in December

It's shows on my note

Eligibility:Not started as at when I received my notes in December 2016 and now on my cic account,it's shows eligibility is in progress
Barground and security:Not started
My application was received at the Accra visa office on 1 June 2016 and was transferred on 12 August 2016 and processing started on 12 August 2016
Medical school recieve and passed

My questions are,

1.When eligibility shows not started,does it means the lead officer in Canada did not find any concerns or problem with my application.

2.How long does it take to know the officer in the visa office is satisfied with the relationship before its forwarded back to the officer in Canada?

3.How long does Cic use to process eligibility before going to barground checks? I ask because,my medical will be expiring in 6 weeks and still haven't heard a word from Immgration

4.Also if your medical should expire and renewed,are you still given a year from the date of the renewal to Land or CIC will give you their own date for you to land.i ask because,I know of a couple who had their last medical renewal and after got their visa and was asked to land in 2months time even when they had lots of months ahead to prepare for landing.

Hope anyone here can help with dis questions specially those who already got their visa and landed
Hi Jay:

Sorry I have 1 answer to your questions. When it goes from Not Started to Eligibility in progress click on the question mark which confirms they are now determining your eligibility . i found this to be true when we had poasession of our GCMS notes we do share the same notes u mentioned here and month in common ;D. We too have not heard anything from AVO. we recieved our notes this month and they are quite similar to yours. Ecas does not give much information either. since we filed No review required, nor additional document request or interview. we are 8 months since filing and at this point we have been patient. we plan to order another set of GCMS notes fairly soon. Hopefully we would recieve good news sooner rather than later !

I'm in the same situation as you

my husband got his uncle to send him his criminal record from nigeria and his ECAS doesnt say criminal record received

But we were told not to worry, that if it says delivery then they definitely have it.

i will say not to worry yourself.

im sure they have it

I think a lot of people have the same issue, including me. I've seen people say their medical wasn't acknowledged till decision made.

You are not alone. It's been three months since we did ours. I thought it was sent right after they were done so AVO should have them the same week it was done. ..

I wish they would just record it right away. I even did ours in May, before we sent our app in and still nothing. :(

Oh wow. Yours should have been updated by now then. But rest assured everything is ok. I had my husband call the akai house clinic and they confirmed it was sent....

Just celebrated alone in Canada, but online celebrated with my husband our 1 year anniversary this past weekend.
:(
Life isn't easy.

AVO is doing what they can, there are a lot more applications than just the few of us that are following on here. I contact my MP and they found out that CIC in Miss has received my husband's medical, but in Accra they have Not Linked it to the account, almost 3 months gone by.
We keep our faith and hope that soon one day we be together again.
Every application is different and each has their own story. Just know they are processing them as fast as they can. I know how hard it is to be apart. Let the Lord keep us going. Hope to see many more PPR's this new month coming.

Thanks boatswife, for sharing that. It does ease my mind. :) It's good to know.

Going on 1.5 year anniversary. I told myself I won't go back to Ghana until we get PPR. The unknown timeline is hard...

Thinking of you all, sending positive energy, hope and patience.
