Hi everyone, its been a while. Just here for an update. So, we got our first approval in June 2017. They sent us for our medicals which we completed in July and turned in asap. A week later, they updated my file and advised that we passed our med checks. In my situation, I was also required to have forms signed from the non-accompanying parent as well as their photo ID. I sent those in with the med checks. For whatever reason they approved the forms being notarized giving the children permission to become residents in Canada. The only problem was somehow they "lost" the digital copies of the photo ID that was sent with everything else. Due to that happening they requested I resend them and gave me until 9-1-2017 to turn that in. I turned it in the same day it was requested July 27th, 2017. Now I have been waiting since that day with zero updates or information. When I call IRCC, I am told that it is processing. They won't give me any further information. I was under the impression that once first stage approval and med checks were done...this would kind of fly by pretty quickly. It seems to be lagging, and its causing some worry and stress. I am hoping DM is done before the end of the month, due to my kids student visas expiring. I am waiting until like the 20th of the month to send it in for extension, in hopes to save some money if the DM comes through. Their visas expire on the 30th of September. I am fairly certain that if between now and then I send in for extension and then the DM comes through, I wouldn't be able to get a refund for the visa extensions and would be out $450.00.
Any suggestions, advice?
