I don't understand why it is taking so long.....we did our medicals in March and we are still waiting. It is awful how long does it take...I imagined that after the medicals it takes maximum 1-2 months if everything is ok. I mean that there are people who live on a temporary visa either in Canada or US and they are relying on a fast response.... :(

Is there any way to contact Ottawa to see what is happening about our medicals ?

I had read somewhere in the Forum about contacting Ottawa for medicals .

Congratulations, omooba.

I was requested to re medical on end of May, and finish and sent the new one to Ottawa on 01JUN. Don't know whether it would delay my file for a while. :(

So happy for you to get PPR. All the best, guys.

Hello,
I got medical furtherance for my spouse on 22nd FEB, 2012 and my DMP recommender to consult Pulmonary Specialist, we Consulted Pulmonary Specialist and submitted reports and letter to DMP on 13th APR, 2012. DMP replied back same day saying that he will be forwarding the results to Health Branch Ottawa. Yesterday I sent Status enquiry email to Seattle visa office and got below reply today.

“On 22-FEB-2012, our health department in Ottawa needs more information on your wife's medical tests. Please contact the doctor ASAP.”

I contacted DMP and he told me that he forwarded everything to health department in Ottawa.

I also got CAIPS notes and there is no update to the file after furtherance letter sent on 22-FEB-2012.
Paper File Sent to PA File BF'D to 4MD ON 26-05-2012

DMP sent me email few days back saying he sent reports to Canada. His office is always locked and he is not responding to emails or calls...
