We had requested for notes in July and they had not done the background check,not even sure how long that takes or what it entails

I really have a hard time understanding why they don't start background checks earlier in the process. Like once they've done a preliminary review of eligibility, they should start the background check. If upon reviewing it's very obvious that they don't meet eligibility, then it's reasonable to delay the background check. Just my two cents.
 
lol i dont know. we also have a previous marriage situation so we're also a bit tentative

No previous marriage for us, but we're also expecting possible delays lol. My husband's country of origin is notorious for taking ages when it comes to criminal/security checks. It took about 4 months to get a police certificate that they claim will take a few weeks o_O

The waiting is horrible but the idea of us being together with our loved ones in Canada is so exciting that it will make the wait seem worth every minute :)

Indeed. It's crazy to think how much time has already passed. Just a little more to go and we'll have forgotten all about the agonizing wait.

Hi. May I ask if you submitted your biometrics before or after file transfer to Pretoria? When did you receive the medical request?

I sympathize with you. It must be difficult having waited so long. Stay positive, it has to be close now
