I think @PlUrb meant "A writ of mandamus" to be filed in Judicial Court against IRCC/Visa Officer processing the file. There are many posts available on this forum where users have asked about this law, and some webpages on this on various websites. I believe if one's considering this option, the applicant would need advise from an experienced immigration lawyer to know if their situation can make a strong and compelling case under this law.
I don't see how that will make an difference until (a) they reach their vaccination targets (b) they can deal with the backlogs according to their processing capacity (c) whether applicants are in a country with variants. Maybe you could force them to give you an answer and they would say sure, you're approved, see you when the borders open.
Ohh. Thank you for sharing that. I didn't know. Sorry. But wouldn't that also mean that they will be keenly examining the application and it might piss them off?
True, mine as well. Medical expired on Apr/24. The wheel seems broken for me.
They’ve announced a medical exemption for inland applicants. Not sure how this affects those of us with expired medicals.
Yeah. Just like bio exemption. Announcing is different from getting the officers to update.
Yeah, now with this medical exemption policy the assigned officer should be able to extend the medicals, however, not sure when they are going to start working on our files again. Broken wheels all around.
Medical for my Outland dependent, not for me. But today I got additional request for documents. So the process is definitely has started. Just all the documents they requested will be hard to get
Are you comfortable saying what kind of documents? Is it something new? And yours or your dependent's? Well I hope they give you time to get those.
Oh sure, at 9am I got a request for a medical test for my Outland child.
