HI there,
Same 2015 NOV applicant. SS since 13Jan. Same boat.

 

[Samzzk]

Been in security screening since past one year. 2nd Dec 2015 applicant. Already two meds done

I beleive EE is the reason why we pnp applicants are not getting PR. They are delaying our files because all their focus is on ee.. they should have created a separate group for them and us .. but because of lack of funds cic wont do that. Hilarously pathetic situation we all are stuck in!

Are you an inland applicant?
Did you leave the country after your first medical exam?
Did they ask you to do a second medical exam? If yes, was it at least 15 months after the first medical exam?

I'm in a similar situation. Applied in Nov. 2015. Inland. Did upfront medicals in July 2016. Medicals expired in July 2017. In mid September 2017 my file was sent to CIO-Meds for extension or request for new medicals (but not sure what's going on now). I have not left the country in the past 4 years.

CIC bulletin says medicals can be extended within the first 15 months of its validity. Mine has already gone beyond 15 months... They have not requested anything yet. I am debating if I should just do another medical? and also use it for my EE application which I am submitting it in the next 2 days...

Thank you.

No, many people in EE also are waiting for more than a year! the problem is the CBSA that i sunder pressure because of the refugees. I have no idea how they are going to increase immigration level by 13% while they can't process our file in 2 years!

I have confirmation that CBSA sent their advice back to IRCC in August this year ~ 3months after csis. Apparently they are just not working on paper apps this year. EE can get them more pr apps approved in the remaining time this year in order to get their stats in order. So many EE apps are being approved in a matter of 6-12 weeks these past few months.

I did my first medical in May 2016, But in august 2017 CIC send an email for re medical of my wife as she is not in canada and for my medical they extend it till 2018, even I exit canada multiple times for few weeks during my application process.

I think its not about exit and entry , actually CIC sydney office send a request to CIC Ottawa to review for extension if they approve so they will extend it other wise re medical should be requested.

You can also check the status of your medical in GCMS notes.
In my GCMS notes they extend it to August 2018 but last month I was on vacation and exit canada for few weeks so I receive an email from MP that your medical is extended till March 2018.

I don't know the reason why they reduce the time of my extension may be I exit the country..

How did you confirm with CBSA since they do not provide security status!!! Also, mp can't contact CBSA. I know many inland applicants who are waiting for CBSA security to be finalized. Hiw did you confirm that??

Most likely yours is done too. If there is no one working on your file then the status shows pending. That's why I'm just submitting my ee application in a few days. The bottom line is since there are limited resources working on the paper based applications, no matter how quickly third party agencies work, paper based applications always lag. Spent 24 months of my life to come to this conclusion. Decided not to apply thru ee 11 month ago when I had finally received an ITA. Spending another 2000 bucks (fees for ee application, ielts, new med exam).
