So this is what i got
I applied sept 2018
Gave medical in may 2019 on request
Added my spouse in 2019 july
Cic added them in july 2020 and sent the medical request for both of us. Gave medical in the first week of august 2020. Then a long silence
Now on 13th april 2021 i got a call from no called id and it was the officer assigned to my case. He just verified who i am and then said over the phone that he needs my wife to give a medical again and i told him that she and i gave one few months back and he said i need new one for your spouse to finalize the application. I did not argue and got her medical done on 20 april. And since there is no update even after passing the medical.
So i guess it was just a hope.
my wife is outland though.
He did not finalize your application because of flight ban from pakistan, thats what I am assuming,
