Finally time has come to share some good news. I only hoped for it because just like many of you I also ran out of patience. Despite thinking that my application is straight forward nothing went straight. My application was status quo since 24-Sep-2020, reason, well, could only figured out that our medicals were not valid for 6 months, our meds expired in Nov 2020, precisely that was the only hold. We did not hear from IRCC at all and just waited.
I ordered my gcms notes every other month just to ensure I am not missing any important message from IRCC. Our medicals were extended in Jul 2021 and then passed in Aug 2021 and got eCOPR in Sept 2021.
I also contacted our local MP and they were kind enough to follow-up with IRCC for straight 6 months. Just before the elections, I received an email from MP office that if I don't here from IRCC by end of Sept 2021 then to reach back to them and exactly that when we got our eCOPRs.
