Hi Lana2013,Lana2013 said:Hi Red123, it seems like we have a somewhat similar timeline.... My application was received in Mississauga in Nov 2011 and started processing Nov 2012... and we are still waiting. In October 2012 my spouse had to do second medical and submit residency questionnaire and police service details. I'm wondering if the fact that he's in security forces in Lebanon its taking this long??? I was living in Lebanon this whole time and just moved back to Canada recently.
I've emailed the embassy a couple of times and the reply is always that they're working on the security check!
Any updates on your end with your file??

I got decision made on my spouse sponsorship application March 2013. The permanent Resident application is still showing as "Application Received". 2 months ago I got a new line "Medical Results have been received". I know there is some strike action going on all over the world. Do you know how is the situation in Beirut regarding processing spouse applications? I check my ecase every week and sometimes every day hoping to see a new line eventhough the processing times for Beirut is 19 months for 80% of the applications. I know no one knows but I thought someone else here would have a similar timeline to mine that can comment and that will help with the wait!
Good luck to everyone and inshallah everyone's process goes smoothly
