Yeah I got the email on July 3rd already mentioning that file is sent to Paris VO.
I'm surprised eCAS already mentions about medical results.

Everything is now being computerized at CIC, emails sent rather than letter, this is faster and more convenient. You can check it anywhere in the world so you can't miss anything.

Hopefully the VO will do the same, communicate by email rather than letters for routine stuff.

It means they have your application and they've found your medical results. Your file is in process. Good luck!

Well for those being processed in the US, it seems the physical documents are kept in Canada, with electronic copies being sent to the US visa office. Whether they are still sending physical files to other visa offices or just doing things electronically isn't clear to me anymore, but I'm quite sure that over time there will be fewer physical files - they are quite expensive to process as they must be sent via diplomatic channels (NONE of your documents are available for inspection by any government other than Canada.)

So it may just mean they have been vetted by CPC-M and they are now on their way to your visa office, but it does mean your application is moving forward.

Morning everyone. Does anyone have any experience with the Bogota office? Just wondering about transfer times from Mississauga, and how long it generally takes to receive a request to get the medicals and police checks done. CIC website says 16 months processing time, however I notice on the Trackitt website that some apps in Bogota have been processed very fast, some in under 200 days for both step 1 and step 2 processing. Our application should be very straightforward as this is the first marriage for both of us, no dependants of any kind, and we live together. There doesn't appear to be any recent activity on this site from the Bogota office, so if anyone has some info, that would be great!

Cheers

Did you not submit your medicals and police checks with your app? If you didn't, FYI, they will send your application back to you, believe me I know this because it has happened to me.
