AOR March 2nd, I also received the following response from the office of Ralph Goodale., MP and Minister of Public Safety, really no difference from the GCMS notes:
Dear Chrislain
I spoke to IRCC regarding your application received Mar 2, 2018. It is at the Case Processing Centre in Ottawa.
Standard processing time is 6 months. This means 80% of routine applications are completed within that time frame, while 20% take longer.
Eligibility is in process – recommend pass.
Criminality and security checks have not been initiated. They cannot be expedited and timelines are not available.
Medicals are valid until Feb 2019.
Sincerely,
