Pre Arrival Letter - What is its purpose?

[armoured]

The new medical was requested by them and we obtained the new medical and they uploaded it in the system and completed. there is no CoPR number issued.

we also applied for the TRV, once everything was shown as completed, but it was denied.

the MP only states that they are working on your file.

My consultant has sent many webforms to the manila office as this is the only way to contact them and they take 1 to 2 months to respond.

We are at a complete loss as to how long this will take and it is a very stressful situation for both my husband and myself.

Sorry, I've no additional ideas beyond trying again with the MP.

Have you tried writing yourself instead of having consultant do it?

When you say your medical exam was 'reissued' - meaning you did a new medical exam?

Was there a validity assigned to that? Has a COPR # been issued (in the electronic systems)?

I'm at a bit of a loss - if the medical exam was redone at their request, usually that indicates that they thought most was done and more or less ready to issue (that's the whole point). There is no mention of or security issues indicated anywhere?

I'd write to the Manila office again, politely, and push your MP again. With the same point again - if medical was re-done, at your expense you'd've thought that it would be ready.

And - if you haven't, apply for your spouse's TRV. Yes, it'll cost a bit of money, but it may get them 'off the fence', when the officer who sees it and has to sign off realizes they've left this undone.

Also - if info above esp medicals is correct, you want to maximize requests on them now - they have yearlyl targets too and cleaning off the already-done-but-pending-last-signoff is the best way to hit them.

In your gcms notes, was there any mention of an interview needed?

I was actually the one contacting the MP office each month, but, now my consultant is taking this over.

Thank you for your help, seriously.
This waiting is taking way to long and its very stressful, as all of you can imagine, 18 months and counting.

The thing that could be delaying and kind-of make sense is security checks.

The one that wouldn't make sense is gathering dust on a desk somewhere. Not saying it's common but it's not unheard of.

If its the security check, we have completed his NBI which is current and up to date. If it is a criminality check, he has lived in the same country all his life and not served in the military, should be pretty straightforward one would think.

Laying on someones desk gathering dust, or completed their quota for the year, is making more sense to me at this point in time.

I want to say, to everyone, that this journey, no matter how long it takes, is a journey worth fighting for. Keep positive and strong everyone.

All true, but 'security' is done by another agency, not under control of IRCC, and hence can be held up there for reasons that may not be obvious to others. That is to say, it could be that IRCC honestly does not have more info (and while should be possible to get info that it is held up at security stage, truth is, can be quite hard to find out). The 'security' part of clearance and in GCMS notes often just says 'pending' (or whatever) until the moment the PPR is received.
