Hi there, my h&c application was received on july 2016 and was inprocess on feb. 2017, until now feb. 2018 is still inprocess and I didn’t receive any updates or a first stage approval. Is there anything wrong with my application?

Hi - that is a really long wait! normally you will hear a decision around 13 months from submission....

did you try obtaining caips notes and / or calling the hotline?

may i also know what your basis for applying H&C is (ie canadian born children? hardship in home country?)?
 
Yes there has been I got my first stage approval in DeC 2017. Which was a total of 7 months after the status of my application changed to processing.
hello, have you gotten the letter in your email saying you should go do your medical and police report if so, when did they send it?

Words of encouragement; as long as your status says processing regardless of the duration there is hope, i’ve Seen some that waited over a year but they still got it.
 
They send the letter right after your approved, but I never received mine. Fortunately when I was on the phone with IMMG the officer brought it up and said i’ve been approved!

Told them I never received the letter, they said to wait, I should within 15 days. I still didn’t so I called back to tell them I still haven’t received it. So they had to send another request to forward the letter, I still haven’t received it but fortunately I got an email copy of the official letter after the second request.
ok thanks i will wait till monday, then my 15 days will be exhausted. if i dont get mine then will call them on Tuesday. Thanks for the Info.

Sorry I misread your question, to answer your question; I received the letter requesting my police report and medical last week around feb 10. 2018. So approximately 2+ months after Stage 1 approval.

I’ll try to delete my first reply

And to clearify the official letter of stage 1 approval is different from the request for medical and police report
