So guys I am December 8 2017 applicant, added my spouse application on May 30 with upfront Medicals for both of us. Medicals was passed on July 28 and requested for spouse photograph and letters of explanation regarding our courtship.
On August 7, I called Cic just to be sure they received the info. The cic agent was nice enough to tell me eligibility was passed and they are only going through security. Which I know takes some time.
Last week I sent an email to cic ottawa requesting a status as I haven't gotten any update on my BOWP as well. This was their response
