Congratulations to everyone for the good news!!! I updated the spreadsheet.
We still don't have any news, not even medicals received, but I know that God is great so I am enjoying the time I get to spend with my husband! Have a blessed week-end everyone!

Thank you so much for your reply, Thaliada! It gave me so much ease of mind. My husband and I are thousands of miles apart, so the separation is really difficult.
I just wanted to both give an update and ask a question: I called Mississauga this morning, and asked about the medical. The call centre representative was actually able to go into our file (after placing me on hold), and then confirmed that more than likely, the medical has been received, as our application is in process (she said that if there was no indication of being in process, then the medical wouldn't show up). I'm not at all sure what she meant by that, but I asked for clarification, whether the "in process" status means that there are background checks going on? Her reply was still confusing, but confirmed that, yes, the medical is also part of the background check.
She lastly recommended that I should wait at least 2 more months before becoming too worried, as according to her, "there is nothing showing that there is anything wrong with the file".
What's going on?! Oh, the endless questions. Is it okay to take her word for it that things are in process? And ecas is such a pain as well, with no indications whatsoever if there is any advancement with our application!
What does everyone think? Are things moving smoothly, or is there more to this? My husband will be going directly to the London VO on Monday to ask about it as well. Will keep you posted!
