Centralized office checks and determines the validity of medical results. If applicant is medically admissable to Canada, status is changed to medical received. In some...

    I think, with the introduction of GCMS, information is entered in the database locally in Canada. That may be the one reason additional documents were requested in November 2011 This reduces the load at local visa offices. It is also likely that GCMS system is used to track the progress at local...

    Most likely, Yes. There is no information in the press release about how many out of 165000 are awaiting a final decision at local visa offices. However, total of 25000 visas are available for parents and grand parents during 2012. Clearing the backlog @ 25000 per year may take up to 6 years...
