My hubby application is 16 months this month, I reach out to my MP last week and he was able to get an update for me, they mention in the email medical is expired, security has not been innitiated, criminal check is on process. Basically the application is still in process. They said if everything is successful then the next would be passport request, if it's decline then you can appeal. They make no mention of interviews. Which is so weird since I know that's what he is waiting on, will just have to keep praying and waiting, this feels like a never ending process.

I hope not, they said it expired but didn't say if he has to redo it. All they keep saying is that they working with less staff, and as soon as there is an update I will know.

Wow 29 months...that’s a long time. Hopefully you hear something soon. It is now 11 months since I see my husband also. Would love to go but afraid if I get sick and hard to get so much time off work. It’s really unfair the limbo that immigration has us in.

We just passed 16 months last week. Have done everything including interview which was done March 12/20. We have decision made and pre-arrival email from March 16/20 but have heard nothing since then. Our local MP has been trying to get answers for more then 3 weeks now and have still heard anything from IRCC when I talked to them on Monday.

Oh I hope they are not closed again due to covid spike, my MP got to them exactly two weeks ago. And told me what they said. I hope they get back to you with some answering soon. The silence is deafening

hey everyone, don't know if anyone here can answer this question but i'm going to ask anyways...when your documents are sent to your Local Visa Office (in my case KVO) is that an indication that BGC is completed, or will it start at this point?

My file is still in Sydney and they indicated that background check was initiated in March. There really is no set pattern how they process applications. This is probably to keep us guessing.
