Dear Forumites,
We have been counting days since MR to PPR/DM but as per the details available at the CIC website, the normal period of 3 months starts from the date when the medical results are received by them.
The extract from the website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=983&t=4 is -
How long will my application take if I need a medical exam?
After a medical examination by a Panel Physician, the results are sent for review to the CIC medical office which serves your region. The CIC medical office will assess the results and send their assessment to the visa office which is processing your application.
Processing times can vary but generally:
For temporary resident (visitor, student, worker) applications, it normally takes four weeks after your medical examination before we will contact you regarding the next stage of your application.
For permanent resident applications, it normally takes three months after our medical office receives the medical examination results from the Panel Physician before we will contact you regarding the next stage of your application. This is true only if you have already complied with our other requests (e.g. to submit other documents).
Hope this helps while we are waiting................
