Nov 11/18. It is at the CPC-Ottawa.
Standard processing time is 6 months. This means 80% of routine applications are completed within that time frame, while 20% take longer.
Eligibility and criminality passed.
Your spouse’s security checks are passed – yours are in progress since June. They cannot be expedited and timelines are not available.
Medicals are valid
