Finally ready for visa email. Here is the deadline and some useful tips.
CEC inland and wife as a dependant from India.
AOR is August 28, 2018
Medical passed September 2018
May 28th - contacted local MP's office addressing about the delay.
May 29th - MP's representative emailed saying eligibility under review and will get an update soon.
May 30th - received 2 back to back updates from CIC. 1. Schedule A and RPRF for both of us. 2. Re medical for my wife.
June 2nd - documents submitted.
June 15th - wife's re medical submitted.
June 21st - ready for visa email.
If you see the time line, obviously there's a huge amount of delay and that's utterly ridiculous and frustrating. But my tip for my inland applicants is to contact your local MP's office and request them to assist you. Unfortunately this option is not available for Outland applicants which sucks and also have legit reasons.
Stay strong everyone. Good wishes to everyone.
