I checked the CIC website today and saw that after my SA on 25/07/2014 I got a new message:
Medical Exams received
that is today 30/07/2014

That is awesome! Did you check on your own or did you get an email notification to check the CIC? I don't want to check every hour of every day... but at the same time I hope that we get a notification soon the same way you did. We got our SA on the 23rd, so maybe soon?queimmi said:I checked the CIC website today and saw that after my SA on 25/07/2014 I got a new message:

I usually check the CIC website daily and the message just appeared today. To be honest I'm not sure if that means the results just arrived, hopefully it does!kasia333 said:That is awesome!

I also see your did your medicals right before sending it all it... would your notification mean that they got the medicals and attached them to your file? Cause we did our medical probably about a month before we sent everything in, so I'm wondering if we will get the same notification like you did.
That's awesome! Yay for things moving! I hope they keep moving for everyone...queimmi said:I usually check the CIC website daily and the message just appeared today. To be honest I'm not sure if that means the results just arrived, hopefully it does!
And again more news:
Went to my bank online and found out Quebec already charged my credit card,
things are moving ok!
i'll call tomorrow to find out.yokies said:My spouse followed up today and he was told they are working on our application and that we should get a response anytime now up to 1.5 mths. I was thinking wtf. Why would they say 1 and a half mths... I think this is another call back and a follow up to get more information on what's going on.. Any others with any updates?
yeah they obviously wouldn't *admit* their mistake : i'm so sorry at least now it's on its way..Nltocan said:Small update on our situation.
Got an email back from Ottawa exactly one week after emailing them. In response to my eloquently worded email enquiring why they sent our application to Ottawa vs Vienna all I got back was:
"Dear Applicant,
I have retrieved your application and your file will be shipped to Vienna as you requested.
Kind regards,
Case Processing Centre - Ottawa blah blah blah"
First of all, in my email I didn't re-request Vienna, I merely asked if it was a mistake that our application was sent to Ottawa vs Vienna. I can't help but feel like we're being punished for calling them out on a mistake. On the other hand, at least I know (think/hope) our application will find it's correct resting place for the next 14 + months.
come on Europeans are exotic and interesting ahah!*sigh* Why couldn't I have fallen in love with a nice Canadian bloke?!
I don't think they are referring to your email when they say "like you requested". They're referring to form IMM0008, question 4 - Immigration office requested for processing this application - which I assume you answered with "Vienna".Nltocan said:Small update on our situation.

Well, by definition, this forum branch has only those people who did the same thing as you So at least we are all in this togetherNltocan said:*sigh* Why couldn't I have fallen in love with a nice Canadian bloke?!
When did you do your medicals? When did you get your SA? Sorry, just trying to see if there's a pattern here.ydj_dil said:Well, by definition, this forum branch has only those people who did the same thing as you So at least we are all in this together
I too just checked my ECAS, and it says "Medicals received". Does that mean my huge box made it to the VO and they actually opened it?
Wow.. that stinks. Hang in there!beeelythe said:So... CIC's website was updated today to 56 days of turn-around and that they're working on applications received June 4th. Still no word about ours (received May 21st).
I called, yet again, and was told that they take the applications in "blocks" and they just started working on the June block yesterday. The woman I spoke to sent off an inquiry, but I don't know what that will accomplish.
I reached out to my MP and we representative said they wouldn't be willing to help until at least late August because "you're common-law and that takes longer so they probably will want to send your application to LA." Disheartening.
