Im March 2017 and still waiting, unfortunately it seems like some have to wait more than others
i hate this waiting game but there's nothing anyone can do. If you guys are still waiting no idea whats gonna happen for those who are after march and so on. Thats how backlog starts to pile up.

it won't hurt to order the notes now. at least it'll make them review your file prior to sending them to you, which may (or may not) trigger some of the processing to start.

Don’t worry abou it, each case is different.. we are waiting but there is people from May/June getting their DMs. My anxiousness started back in December and we are in May and still nothing... if I could go back I woundn’t have worried so much! We did what we had to do... now I only check my Ecas every Monday otherwise I will get crazy lol

October 23rd 2017 applicant here. I got my medical request yesterday and scheduled for May 7th, so it's about 6 months since my original application.

I also sent in my OWP application to Vergerville last Friday April 27 b/c my current GOWP is expiring the end of July 2018. Would it be reasonable to say the OWP processing time is between 6 to 9 weeks?

I am not worried. Not at all. I saw people from July is getting their DM on the ecas. Its just good to see when people see their progresses on their files let other people give a peace of mind that their decisions will come soon too. thanks anyways.
