Hi! If you mean the "Review of eligibility", it's been in progress for a while (I don't know the exact date, it was already "in progress" when I linked my account to MyCIC).

Hopefully you should receive some good news soon! It hasn't been two weeks yet since you got DM, so if all goes well you should have some news in the upcoming weeks.
Yes I meant "Review of eligibility". I would not have asked this question if they added a line in the ECAS - A decision has been made and we will notify you.. The fact that they just made it DM with no additional line in there makes our head spin. I read in other forums in similar scenario got PPR in 1 to 30 days, but there are others for whom it has been more than 30 days and no further updates...
Yep, let's wait... Good Luck to you as well.

Oh I see, I didn't understand the line thing, sorry. I hope all is ok and that you will get PPR soon.

so the visa expiration of on the passport is one year from the date of the expiration of medical or it depends on passport expiration?
Just an inquiry.

Hey aprihl23/ Engineered_by_God / shimmy03

I have a one year visa because I was requested for medical exams (mine were expired since May) at the same time I was asked for my passport.
In fact I thought I thought I wasn't going to be asked for medicals again because on my ECAS said "medical exams received", yet on MYCIC account it said "in progress", also it is actually more time than what it should've been because I retook my exams on Sept 3rd and the passport says Sept 13th.

Hello all,
This forum has been great support.
Even though I have not posted much, I should at least tell everybody how my wife's timeline went.
So here goes...

FEB 22: File received at Mississauga
MAR 22: AOR
APR 13: SA [no email sent, letter came via regular mail]
APR 14: AOR2
JUL 18: Submitted request GCMS notes
AUG 22: Submitted status query of GCMS notes to ATIP
AUG 24: ATIP contacted me acknowledging delay of GCMS notes and priority status of my request
SEP 6: GCMS notes received by email
SEP 13: RPRF
SEP 13: Photos, submitted as proof, send back to spouse
SEP 29: PPR
Principal Applicant's Location: bangladesh

Hopefully this means that end line is in sight.
The wait is never too short. But I guess it could have been much worse.
