I've mailed my application to Mississauga November 12/14 and was approved Feb 1/2015 . Kingston received our application Feb 20 at which time My husbands ECAS just said application received Novemver 12/2014 and medical results received. Last Monday finally ECAS was changed to inprocess ..I emailed Kingston to ask if my husband should redo the medical and police check since it's almost a year since they were done . Kingston replied and told me not to mail anything unless they requested it and at this time they have checked our application and all supporting documents and evidence is there so they have placed our application in a processing querie for a VO to determine whether or not a interview is required and if not rest assure they will contact me with the next step ...so stressful ..I did also email my local MP as well as Chris Alrxander the immigration minister of Canada to try inquire and also to see if I could do anything to speed up the process which I already knew I couldn't but this process is just to stressful.. Some people seem to get lucky and somehow have there applications processed in as little as 4 months while some people actually wait the 24 months .. If you pay all fees upfront and do the medical and police check then it does cut the processing time down by 50%....
