Thats the way I think it should be.. If you keep hoping for something for next month and something comes up beforehand - "its a pleasant surprise :)"

Rather than hoping we are going to hear something everyday and checking emails every now and then and getting disappointed - it just makes one person more depressed! Just be happy and something will come about real soon!

Nearly 19 months waiting... :D

Hi my name is Harmanjeet singh Tivana and I had applied for permanent residency under provincial nominee program in January 2011 from Saskatchewan. I got medical request in July 2011 and my medical was completed on August 18 2011. Doctor found some red blood cells in my urine so he did some further tests and send my medical two months later in October 2011. After that I didn't heard anything from immigration. I applied in Buffalo and they are closed and they send me email that my file has been transfer to Ottawa. I have exceeded my 14 months time period of my application, please help me i'm really depressed and lost. I don't know what to do as they are not replying my message.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IF SOMEBODY GUIDE ME IN MY CASE.
My husband was in a similar situation. He was infected with Hep B and recovered long long long time ago, but they requested a 2nd medical exam for him. After the 2nd medical exam, there was no update at all for the following months. We were worried and didnt know what to do. So, we applied the GCMS notes and found out he passed the medical exam. If you dont get any further medical exam request from them, then it is a good sign.

Guys... Week # 3 of September.... I hope 2011 applicants should get some PPRs. Let us know.

I have also a query. Once the medical results have been received and updated in the ecas, does it mean one has passed the medical tests? Also if one has problems, when should he expect for additional tests? I am inquiring on behalf of a friend of mine. His time line is very much similar to mine. He did his medicals on June 10, 2012.

GOOD NEWS ;D for me mostly and for other 2011 applicants!

I got my Passport Request today, asking me to send our passports to Detroit.

Here's my timeline if you are interested:

CSQ Issued: May 2011
Application sent to Federal: September 2011
Medicals done: Feb 2012
PPR: September 2012

ECAS:
- We received your application on Sep 10, 2011.
- We started processing your application on May 2, 2012
- Medicals results received.

ECAS has been showing this since May, my address was shown since July I guess. It's still the same.

I sent them an email two weeks ago (for the first time) asking about the status of my application, got a generic reply in a week, maybe that triggered something, I don't know!

You'll get it sooner or later, just don't think about it too much and try not to schedule your life based on it if possible :)

Guys:
in my ECAS:
We received your application for permanent residence on March 2, 2012.
Medical results have been received.



We started processing your application - is not written at all.

My application was received on 21st march and i received the request for medical on 27th march. very lass gap.
Does that mean they have not even started working on my application?

ECAS doesn't even show the in process, only application received is written :mad:

Forget about ECAS, it's totally unreliable IMHO. Just email them if you didn't hear from them by January or something ;)
