So, house members, I guess My MP is still doing or getting updates until my file is finalized.
- We got PPR on the 24th, asked to submit medical, police clearance and updated forms withing 15 days.
- Obtained permission to submit clearance late (23 days later)
- Go permission to submit passport to country of residence rather than AVO. AVO agreed, so now waiting for final approval then we can submit passport
Now the interesting bits:
Got an email from the MP today and it tells a lot more than I saw on my GCMS notes and mycic:
Dear XXXXX
This is the response of IRCC on our request received yesterday:
`` We can provide you with the following details about the status of your constituent’s Application to sponsor a spouse living outside Canada:
• The application was received at the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga (CPC-M), Ontario, on October 11, 2016.
• The initial assessment to ensure your constituent meets the eligibility criteria and that the application is complete was finalized on November 4, 2016. - Nov 4, 2017 was showing up "Due Date" on my GCMS notes for medical and background and I didn't understand what it was about since my medical was expected to expire in September according to them. Now I know it's exactly 1 year from the first eligibility assessment.
• The assessment for the spouse is still in process at the Canadian visa office in Accra, Ghana .
• The eligibility requirements assessment has been finalized on October 24, 2017. - Mycic says reviewing even today
• The medical examination results are on file and valid until November 2, 2018 for your constituent’s spouse. - (Re-medical was done on October 30th)
• The criminality verifications are currently valid. - i hope valid means passed/complete
• The security verifications are currently valid. - i hope valid means passed/complete
• Processing times indicated on our website are approximate, and can vary with each individual case.
My GCMS note request has been held up since Sep 18th. They finally acknowledged my inquiry last week stating I'm in "priority for completion." Still, nothing in my inbox.
Update Day 34 since PPR:
Overall Status: Request for Passport, re-medical and police clearance completed as of Day 23 (Nov 14)
PPR Submission Day: Done on Nov 14th.
