Did your Medical confirmation have your UCI and applaication number? If not may be worth asking your doctor to include that in the results he sent to CIC. If the initial Medical had your UCI you can alwways resend it along with an explanatory note- use the case specific form online as you get a...

I also married a Canadian and am an Aug 1st applicant. My lawyer advised me that this will not affect the application but to be on the safe side I uploaded a copy of the marriage certificate and my wife's passport on the CIC website. I also clearly indicated that as my wife is Canadian, I will...

Congrats! Good to see some progress. Hope you are right and we get a final decision soon.

Definitely not true. As long as you have your UCI and application number on the Medical form, it will eventually be added to your file. I am an August applicant and did my upfront Medical at the end of October and a line stating 'we have received your medical report' was added in December around...

Congrats! When did you apply?

No there isn't. I'm in the same situation and when I called CIC in December they told me that when my background checks are completed a decision will be made.

Based on the available information, the current processing time is around 18 months (June/July applicants are being finalized now). So a decision is likely to be made by March but not guaranteed. If the WP does not come through by then, working back in the UK in January may be reasonable. Good luck.

It would appear the processing time is around 18 months now. Based on what I have read here, June/July applicants are being finalized now so realistically you should be expecting a decision around April/May. I hope I am wrong and you hear from them sooner. May be worth renewing your permit early...

One can only smile. Merry Christmas to you too.

I'm an August 1 applicant. Back in September my notes stated that they had started criminality checks but not security checks. Just contacted CIC- still doing background checks although they have started security checks as well. Very slow progress. The lady managed to keep a straight face and...

Congrats! I'm an August 1st, 2014 applicant and this gives me a lot of hope.

Things may not be as bad as they appear. Once they begin processing, the criminality/ security aspect can be done relatively quickly. The rate limiting step is the time it takes for them to pick up the file (in your case about 1 year) and start processing- that is why EE is quicker. I am...

Congrats!

Congrats!

My application was received on Aug 1, 2015, AOR October 18, 2015. I also did an upfront Medical (October 30, 2015). My ECAS has been updated to state "Medical Results have been received' as of December 12, 2015. So perhaps they have started working on our files. I note that an August 5 applicant...

Congrats! Great to hear that you managed to get through this hardship. All the best.

I am an August 1 applicant in the same boat. There are 6000 unprocessed applications from 2014. They aim to process them in the next 6 months according to today's Toronto Star. On an optimistic note there has been some movement in the June/July 2014 cohort with finalization of applications...

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I don't have any answers but it may be worth seeking the advice of an immigration lawyer

Congrats! When did you apply for PR?
