Have they asked you to re-do your medical? We have been waiting for full 18 months. We are in the same boat and hopefully we hear the good news soon.
Hi Daysleeper

Mine too 18 months... But they requested for re-medical exactly an year after medicals providing date... After re-submitting the medicals I received PPR after 3 months... The visa offices in canada doesnt seem to follow any pattern... No way except to wait patiently... All the best...

It means they (lvo )haven'ttouched your file since your meds are uploaded. Do not worry, they will eventually process it. For now other than waiting I don't see anything much you can do.
I am sure you must have ordered GCMS to see how it's progressing.

Yes I have done that twice before and now again for 3rd time
It was after my first gcms notes request they asked for remedicals ... I believe earlier they were just not doing anything about my file..
From my first gcms notes I observed they were stuck at Eligibility evaluation as they had some query about my working hours... But they never asked for any supporting documents..
So I just from my side sent them the supporting documents for substantiating about working hours from my employer...
After submission of these documents.... It took them 2 months to initiate re medical request...i.e. in August 18.. although my upfront medical got expired in feb 18.
Second gcms notes which I ordered after submission of supporting documents (which they never asked) were same as first , no change was there...
Third set of gcms notes I have ordered is after one month ofof submissi of acknowledgement receipt for medicals

Thanks for your response

Hi Kaur

My I too submitted my documents on 31 May 2017 and just got CoPR recently. I was requested remedical too. After remedical it took 4 months for them. Nothing much we can do other than waiting as they dont reply to any of our queries. So just hang in tight. Dont depend on the status in the mycic account as they dont seem to update it. My status remained the same after remedicals. Even after CoPR the status didnt change. So dont worry. The fruit would be more sweet after a long patient wait.

Thanks
Cian

Actually my employer mentioned on experience letter about 6 days in a week...
With the same experience Ietter I was given nominated by province..
But upon ITA after ordering gcms notes it was mentioned by some officer on my file about no explanation of exact working hours like whether part time or full time... Thus it was sent to analyst for checking for same.
So I got letter of explanation from my employer about working hours and sent the same to LVO AND CIC .
In reply LVO said they don't need additional documents but in meantime they asked for remedicals ...

Oh I see now. Thanks for your response and I still don’t get how they never touch your file. Are you sure you’re not in SS? Applications with Rewiew required usually takes 9 months to finish.

Do you have any stats for NDVO? My application has crossed 10 months now with review required. Both eligibility n security not started.

Received my gcms after almost 100+ days...The last status generated has eligibility not started, criminal and medicals is passed, info sharing complete. Security is blank and it's so since feb 2018.
Not sure why they haven't touched my file as yet.
Last week received response from ndvo that file is pending officers review...And it's over 18 months now with over a year at ndvo.
Need patience now to sit without update.

Wow.. seems like nothing will push NDVO to look at older files. I have been on this forum for a while now and eligibility review required or any review required files would get processed around the 6 months timeframe. This is the first time i am seeing files just lying like that.
And strangely NDVO is leading the race.

Hi, this is my timeline:
  1. Recived your application for permanent residence on march 15 2017
  2. We started processing your application on march 07 2018
  3. Medical results have been recieved.
That’s all I haave, we’re applicating inland and starting to be anxious for the long wait.


We called our lawyer and he said he’s going to send a message to CIC to ask for updates.

I mean the website says 12 month and we’re been waiting 20 month is we count November.

Anybody are going through something similar?
