    When an expired medical is passed or extended by IRCC it may not necessarily indicate the completion of background check (including SS), rather it is in line with the IRCC's temporary public policy for immigration medical exams (IMEs) which is in place until October 6, 2024. According to this...

    Anecdotal evidence suggests that a re-medical request is a very strong indication of the completion of background check. So yes, more often than not a re-medical request is a good omen.

    No, it is highly doubtful it is a result of some glitch, rather I think it is a strong indication your security has been concluded after your second stage Mandamus was filed. Most likely a final decision/portal 1 will be made upon completing your re-medical. Refer to Kingra92's post #2,677 on...

    I will suggest you call IRCC and talk to an agent. For all you know by now CBSA may have reverted back to IRCC with your recommendation but a less than diligent VO may be slow to update your file. See below a thread shared by someone else in 2019 on this forum to understand the process better...

    Hi @umbro , I understand that only inland applicants can request/order CBSA or CSIS notes, as a Canadian address is required to complete the process. I noticed from your timeline that you are "OUTLAND" but have successfully ordered CBSA/CSIS notes in the past. Could you kindly let me know how...

    Yea, I feel your pain. All this prolonged CSS shit can be as depressing as it is frustrating, especially when there is seemingly no justifiable reason to be sent to CSS. However, hope the info below helps: Security Screening’ is one of the stages of an application that has been shrouded in...

    Thanks for this insightful info. I hope that in the end you achieve success. Meanwhile, it is quite remarkable the humongous number of outstanding Mandamus/immigration related cases. It shows the level of frustrations among applicants attributable to the prolong delay in the processing of...

    I am also outside Canada and have been unable to get IRCC agent by Phone. I have been trying without any success since last week. I am wondering if we have been barred from calling IRCC from outside Canada. Is any other outlander experiencing this? and what could possibly be the issue?

    Wow, this doesn't sound good. That more people are being sent to CSS is another reason to worry. Unfortunately, these guys (VOs) cannot be hurried or queried, which can be really frustrating. While some applications are processed in half the official processing time, others (through no fault of...

    Hi, is it just me? why does it look like the number of times people have announced on this forum that they received either portal 1& 2 or even COPR & PPR seem to have declined drastically in the last 30 days or so. Could it be an indication that the VOs have slowed down their work or like...
