They will ask for your payment receipt number along with your personal details to give you update on your file

It does not hurt to call them, you could mention to the agent the same question you asked here and see what they tell you. Don't forget that everything is recorded, just be nice and try to get an answer from them, you could ask them is there anything else that is required by me? What could be a reason why my application is not moving very fast when others already have BR and MD done.... ask ask ask and who knows this could be what you need to get your file going again... officers probably listen to recordings. good luck...

I wouldn't mention anything about what other applicant's timelines vs yours. They will basically call you a liar and say it's just hearsay. If you get a good agent they will be helping if not they will tell you there is no specific time line for each thing.

Is it weird that I haven't a BR yet? There's not a lot on that spreadsheet without it. Medical good, file been in ON since 5/2. I didn't know if there was any situation where Biometrics weren't needed?

 

[BigCrunch]

From the January '19 pool some people got biometrics almost straight away and then heard nothing for ages before eventually getting PPR. Some of us (like me) didn't get biometrics request for ages, but then got PPR a week after it was completed. It might suggest that when you do get biometrics, the application is close to a decision being made.

Only inland applicants are exempt from biometrics at this time, but it's not uncommon for requests to come at any point throughout the process.

My husband (applicant) on ECAS only said medical received and it never did say it was passed. We called into CIC asking another question and happen to ask if he passed his medical. They said he did and it just was not updated on ECAS, and that took about 53 days after. They said there's usually no issues with medical exams, unless you honestly have a debilitating disease.

 

[Kazzar]

How can i come to know biometric and medical is passed? Will it show on ecas ?

will not show on ECAS

 

[StephanH]

will not show on ECAS

Medical will show passed in ecas but not BR, you will also see medical/BR in better details in GCkey.
