I think the sheet you are referring to was a sheet someone else had posted of average length of time from remedical to visa. But when I locked the sheet I removed that page because it was a static sheet and the data was already out of date. In other words someone needed to be cutting/pasting and recalculating it all the time for it to be accurate and no one was doing that. You can always download a copy of the sheet or cut and paste into your own sheet to calculate those numbers if you wish.
Oh i see. Thanks tho, scos! We really appreciate your dedication in maintaining the spreadsheet! :)

Gooner....congrats on ppr! Must feel good to see some progress..hopefully we're not that far behind you....

I have a general question....about Medicals Received update in ECAS...I've never seen it updated on our file.....I know from reading here that ECAS isnt very useful.

Do you folks think it not ever being included in any updates is anything for concern?

Our file has only ever indicated "Application Received" :(
Thanks..

Your medical should be listed there.. did you click on the link that says "Application received" it is in there? Have you got sponsorship yet?

LMAO, me and Moose were just wondering the same thing, if the picture of us with Noli Di Castro on the beach had any effect on our application .
Hmmm... maybe it does :) Ours was not on a beach but at the Canadian Consulate Xmas party last year in Cebu...

Nice... enjoy your trip... I just look at the spreadsheet and saw you got sponsorship approval. If they process the apps in somewhat "in order" then they should get to your soon.

Hi Guys,

I've been a lurker here and I really find the content helpful and its good to see people who share my situation (and frustrations, sigh..). BTW how do I share my timelines in the spreadsheet or post it underneath my username just like some of of you?

Welcome Pauluz...

To add it to the spreadsheet PM user "Scos" ... he is the grand master keeper of the spreadsheet. Or you can post it here and scos usually will pick it up and add it.

To add it to your own profile you need to have made 10 posts (i think) on the forum until they give you access to edit your profile.
