THANK YOU EVERYONE ON THE FORUM.. Really helped me a lot reading your suggestions.
Especially suggesting to order GCMS notes.. in which i found i was missing some documents.
And also the suggestion to do upfront medicals and RPRF(think this saved me some little time in the last steps).

But all in all, i think every application is unique. its really hard to predict.
i didnt expect mine would finish this fast after such a long time of silence.

So i wish everyone all the best with their applications.

ONCE AGAIN - THANK YOOOUUUUU..

Hey Guys,

I'm June 10th applicant. AOR date July 29th.

Have not received Medical Request yet.

My online status shows the 2nd line" we started to process your application on July 29th, 2014"

It has been almost one month, I hear nothing from CIC, No MR.

Does anyone have similar situation as I do?

I've seen people who receive MR on the same date when they see the 2nd line, so I'm getting worried now.

Hi apply GCMS note or call CIC

 

[sy_123]

Generally MR forms say that medical report must submit within 30 days otherwise application will be resued.

My question is

What can we do as further solutions, incase passed the deadline without submit mr

Please can you give details

Thank you

Provide acceptable reasons if you cannot make it within the specified time. Usually shouldn't be an absolutely strict thing but make sure to be safe.

Hi apply GCMS note or call CIC

I did apply GCMS notes and I'm waiting for that now.

I called CIC about 10 mins ago and the agent told me the processing time is counted from THE DAY THAT THEY RECEIVE THE APPLICATION. So If anyone applied in June and wants to call CIC, please go ahead to do so. The 14 months time has been passed, so they are able to access your file.

What the call center agent told me is worthless, they said my file is still under process, the 14 months is the general time, but each case is unique, so some may take longer. If I did not hear anything in Dec, I can call back.

In Dec, it will be 18 months since I applied.

you can contact CIC and give them any valid reason. They will extend your time limit.. Even I feel they don't care, as they are not working on our application.

What is the timeline for Passport and COPR to be sent by CIC from the date when they receive?

better to email them with valid reason. I know a friend who's medical request went to junk email and he found in junk folder after 2 months and completed medicals after 60 days... he got his PR whith out any issues.

One of the post you mentioned is from January. Don't you think, this is applicable for July applicants. If everything goes based on fist-c-first-server priority (if no issues with the application) then we may all waiting for our term to come. But, for no reason, CIC ignored June and completed July very fast. I am happy that my July friends got PR but most frustration comes from WHY ME.....???? (without any reason, even to think)

I read the article in January but didn't pay full attention at the time, now that I stumble upon it again, everything makes absolute sense.

Some so called VOs are probably individuals brought in from whatever industry and background who may not have known about immigration better than the applicants do in the first place.

Some call center agents are probably young graduates with a little sales background who went though a three-day extensive professional training of telling "background check is in progress" to 90% of phone calls.
