Medicals are taking longer now, probably a reflection of the high number of ITAs.

I wouldn't worry about it, but if you want give you doctor a call and ask him if he's already submitted everything and if everything is OK.
Hi, thanks for the reply guys. The reason I'm concerned is because there seems to be a current trend of medicals being passed based on date of AOR. Most feb applicants with AOR close to mine have gotten medicals passed a while back. In fact PNP outland candidates from feb 20 and up are already getting their medicals passed status... :(

Another thing that worried me is the unusual status update, since most people go straight from not needed to passed. Very few get this "We are reviewing the results of your medical exams" message, and when they do, it`s usually followed by an additional doc or additional exams request. It's really mind boggling!

I guess there's really not that much I can do, but keep waiting... Do you all think it's too soon to order GCMS notes? My background status changed from N/A to not started on the same day my medical status changed.

Thanks again!

Has your BC changed back to N/A yet? If so then you may see something in your GCMS notes... But I think you should wait a little longer and order them after 2 months. I ordered mine early and didn't get much out of them.

I can't believe I am the next one on the queue... Even if SPVO/CIC don't stick strictly to a queue, that's still a good thing to hear.

Good job for putting it together!

Let's wait and keep hoping. This friday my application will complete 4 months... my GCMS notes were not so encouraging though. No movement between Dec 15th and Feb 15th (was transfered to SPVO on Dec 15th).

Looks like SPVO hasn't even touch the file since it has been transfered. I've requested GCMS notes again to check for any progress.

Will keep the thread updated as soon as I receive the notes.

Good luck to us all.

No, it's still Not Started: "We are processing your application. Next step is to conduct a background check". I dropped them an email this morning to enquire about my medical status. It doesn't seem normal to me, I just know something is off... Hope I'm wrong. :(

I have a theory that SPVO waits for security to clear BEFORE picking up the file to do the final review and perhaps that's why it seems like they take so long to do anything after the file get's transferred to them.

On that note how is your security? Do you see S15(1) on the corner of your SECURITY under ADMISSIBILITIES? Like it's explained this post here - http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/gcms-notes-well-explained-has-never-before-until-now-t390292.0.html

If so then your security is done and SPVO is just being lazy then...

Hey Thiago, we are in a very similar situation here!
By the way, have you submitted Schedule 4 as part of your e-APR? If not, is there a mention to your Schedule 4 as "not started" on your GCMS? (Such as mine)
I didn't, since it is not requested upfront, but a lot of PNP applicants send it beforehand, due to CIC's tradition of requesting it at some point... Concerned about any possible delays. :'(
