I order my CAIPS late July 2011. In that my file had reached only PSDEC=1 and BFD was sent for SELDEC. It was 11pages long.

In short your question should be, "How were you called for medicals without being SELDEC=1...... " Also please confirm whether your CAIPS stated that medicals have been requested or received. I am pretty sure that it wont be there in your CAIPS, hence the reason I think that the CAIPS have not been updated. I don't mean to give you faults hopes but be positive and check with CHC. Hope everything works out for you.

All the best
Cheers!

Hello every one ,

I just got back from Colombo CHC , guys & gals this is real , they have suspended my file due to OB442 !
First I spoke to the girl on the counter, she said my file has been suspended due to OB442 , then I confronted her that I have finished my MEDs and already paid RPRF and host of other things , then she asked me to write to the high commissioner , as I was about to leave a lady officer approached (srilankan ) and try to explain the situation to me.
She casually dismissed the medical test argument ,According to her , even though I did my medicals prior to march 29 2012 , it was not the visa officer’s decision , the embassy staff thought it was prudent to call for meds for prospective applicants to expedite the process , hence they call for my meds. I could not believe what I was hearing; simply there is no accountability (pretty much akin to sri lankan style).she reminded me quite a few times , that meds being done at your own risk and it is clearly written on the request letter ( so that they are legally covered, I suppose)
Next point, RPRF , again she very casually dismissed it , that money will be returned in two months time.
I can think of one conclusion , Canadian government uses this OB442 , to get rid of all old (over 40 ) applicants under the pretext of this illegal bill , period !!!
I can give you one advise , those who applied before 27 feb 2008 , please go the CHC ASAP to find out about your fate , do not wait & waste money and time on CAIPS !

Aran, Await I’m really happy for you guys , you just made it.
