Hello

I have a question for those of you who have recently got the passports back is the stamped visa on it. What is the validity of the visa?? Is it one year from the day you got your medicals done??

Thanks
I got around 6 months (so it is something close to what you mentioned - 1 year from the date of my medicals done) and they mentioned i was given the maximum period and there wont be any extension in general - it could be different for out-land applicants - hope this helps.

Hi marcolee,

I was wondering the same thing. There are some people here that completed their process far faster than anyone I know personally. Here are our dates:
BC PnP approved April 2013 (we live in Canada)
submitted federal form to Nova Scotia in July 2013
Received medical request letter from Nova Scotia in September 2013
Completed Medicals in October 2013
Received request letter for and submitted police certificates in December 2013

We haven't heard anything since. We were a little concerned that they don't acknowledge receipt of our police certificates.
But, someone I know locally who has gone through this process told me that this is normal.

Everyone personally that I know here that has gone through this has taken 13 months or more from the day they filed the application with Ottawa.

I suppose we'll wait until early summer before inquiring with CIC regarding status.

What do you think?
I think there is nothing we can do at this moment but wait. Hope we can hear good news from CIC or see our status changed on ecas soon.

@ hfinkel ...

i have almost the same timeline as you ..
my status on ecas is still "Application Received/Medical Received".

what is your current status? When did you send your last inquiry email to CIC?
on the status page, it says "Application Received",
1. We received your application for permanent residence on July 7, 2013.

2. Medical results have been received.

The web page has indicated this since about November last year.

I have never sent an email inquiry as I read on the CIC web page to wait until the processing time indicated for our processing centre has passed, however, that is 17 months. I don't think I should wait that long to query, should I?

It is interesting, even among those who are filed with the same processing office, that there is a large variance in processing times.

Best of luck and hope your application is processed soon.

you should not wait for 17 months ..

At least you got a request for PCC in Dec 2013 which means they are working in your case ..

in my case not request for additional document and no change in status
