Hi,
We are pretty much in the same boat, last update was a year ago, after that they sent procedural fairness letter to which we replied and they havent replied to that also.
so, one year has passed since the last correspondence,
and it is really difficult as many decisions are relying on this.

There is also no estimate of how much time it will take further. If anyone knows of any updates on the IRCC office or any inside news, please share
our visa office is in London

If you use CIC application wait time calculator it says 20-24 months since AOR. Feb 2021 we hit the 20 months mark. Let's hope they will ask for Police Certificate by then.
I tend to believe those estimations as recently I have applied for a tourist visa for my in laws and we received the final decision on that around the same time the calculator said we will.

Have you tried calling them/reaching out to MP?
 
Have you tried calling them/reaching out to MP?

Yeah, I got both the Notes & information from MP.. Not much help because all they give is the information about file and not really a information about if file still exists and when they plan to work on it.

Following are the notes I got from MP:

We can provide you with the following details about the status of your constituent’s application to sponsor parents:

  • The application was received at the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga (CPC-M), Ontario, on October 2, 2018.
  • The initial assessment to ensure the sponsor iseligiblehas been finalized on June 12, 2019.
  • The assessment for the applicants is still in process at the Canadian visa office in New Delhi (India).
  • The medical examination results have not been requested for the applicants.
  • The criminality verifications have not been initiated.
  • The security verifications have not been initiated.
  • Processing timesvary depending on the submission date and may change during the processing of the application.
A friend who submitted application in April 2019 has already got his application processed and finalized. I always wonder how CIC really process the application and what's the criteria.

They are just terrible with few applications. I hope this wait will end soon for you.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience. May I ask why they sent a procedural fairness letter? Hope you and your family are having a great holiday season!

Hello friends,
My father's medical was passed on February 26, 2020. It has been radio silence since then...
Does that mean that he will have to through the medical again?
 
Hi Friends,

I applied for my parents in May 2018, medical was done in Nov 2019 but no further updates after that. Please let me know if anyone got any updates from Delhi office.
 
Ok thank you! So stress out about this! They already had appointment for their 3 months xray so hopefully everything will be ok!

Hello, my mom is unfortunately on the same boat.. what happens if she cant cough up sputum? Did they just request for a new xray in 3 or 6 months? Do you mind please sharing your experience
