Congrats ronair! My timeline is also almost exactly the same as yours. Did you check/see any changes in your ECAS status at all recently?

Again, Congratulations Man. It sounds like Ottawa is finally getting serious on transferred applications. Let's hope for more PPRs and fast finalization of our applications in the new year!

This is my first post and I'm in the same boat as everyone else waiting for that magic email. My application was sent to buffalo and was received on June 23, 2011 medical done on October 2011. I never received any email or confirmation that my file was transferred to Ottawa. Also, I emailed Ottawa to see if my file was transferred there, but they replied with the generic answer.
I've read most of the post here,lots of encouragements and very informative advices. and i would like to share my own experience.

I think they are moving backwards in term of when we did our medicals, first it was people who did medicals in December 2011, then it was November, now it is October.
This is just an observation.
I did my medical exam on Sept. 1st, so hopefully we can hear something before the end of February, the way they are treating us is really not fair.

Absolutely. I often feel as if they're playing with our lives, and though they may know it, they really don't care.

About the medical, i emailed Ottawa last Sept.2012 to inform them that our medical( w/ my Family) is expiring Oct.2012. They replied that they will extend it but didn't say how long. Last Dec.2012 two of my buddies were requested to redo the Xray of their family member back in their home country same as my expiry Oct.2012. Is there anybody here that were requested to redo their medical?

I wasnt asked but if you get your GCMS Notes it should tell if it has been extended or not. My medicals were extended by 1 year.

Ok guys got my 2nd GCMS............and there are no apparent changes from my 1st GCMS.
Seems like my file has been collecting dirt since June 11,2012 .the same date on which my case status
went "in process". Well there is no cure for this frustration.
