They requested additional photos, which we submitted. It has been 1 month exactly and still dead silent. Our BGC has not started, more than 3 months now since medical passed.

hahahaha omg :) good one.

my husband's BGC didn't even start and its 3 months now, maybe that's where a bit of frustrations are coming from. Trying be patient :)

July 9th applicant, file transferred to Sydney Australia in Nov. Medical passed Dec 27th.

So frustrating, 3 months since medical - not a single sign of BGC getting started.

After medical, PA's background will be started. It takes anywhere from 1 moth to 5 months. My husband's background has not started. it has been 3.5 months since his medical.

I did submit 20 photos, we had our traditional ceremony followed by ring, marriage certificate sign off etc. I must have included less of ceremony pics and more of other pictures. In the letter they stated they want the more of the ceremony pics. Is it ok to draft a letter explaining how it...

Got a request to provide additional marriage photos. We will courier it tomorrow morning. Hopefully this does not delay our process :(

No, it was transferred directly to Sydney Australia on Nov 30th, got an email saying that they started processing on the Dec 10. They were really quick sending medical etc but since 2 months they are dead silent, BGC not started.

I am not sure why the post is not available. My file was transferred to Sydney Aust on Nov 30, 2018. Medical passed on Dec 27th. BCG has not started for us also, they went dead silent. PA from? Looks like Sydney office is quite slow. Thank you for sharing your timeline.

2 months since medical passed, no sign of BGC starting :(

For the picture request, 4 passport size picture will be just fine. That is what my husband used for his medical.

yah it doesn't make sense. Our bgc has not started yet, so it might even take longer as they will need at least few months to clear bgc.

wow, and your medical was done Nov 5th! I am quite far behind than as mine was Dec 27th. I guess I will need practice patience patience and more patience :)

Did your BGC start yet?

Thank you, I guess we are on the same boat. My file was transferred to Sydney Australia on November 30, 2018. They indicated that they started processing my application on Dec 10th. Then when I call the 1888 number they state that BGC has not started :( Patience I guess.

Back Ground Check, this is the longest part. My husband's medical was received on Dec 27, 2018. Its almost 7 weeks now and his background check has not started. I guess it all depends on the VISA Office as to when they start it.

100% sure :) If you call the call 1888 242 2100 from inside Canada and follow the instructions. You'll press 1 1 2 3 to get this information. Enter your file number and your Spouses DOB. They should be able to confirm that.

Medical Received - means that you have passed your medical exam :)

My husband passed his medical on December 27, 2018. His background check has not started yet. With your experience can someone please advise an estimate time as to when background check may start? Its almost 7 weeks, mine didn't start. Thanks. S
