Yup, u guys are correct. It took a long time before that much awaited medical request came, probably because they needed more time in reviewing and verifying my application. I am here in USA, I applied in CIC-MANILA and my lawyer is based in Ontario. Also, when we submitted the full documents last March 09, my lawyer is not aware of the "office/country specific requirements" needed such as the personal networth form. So my advise to all applicants, if you live overseas and your application was lodged in your home country,know the needed requirements so your application won't be delayed.
to JHOY18, are you sending your documents to CIO ( central intake office ) to Nova Scotia for eligibility screening?
I am really not sure of the answer to your question. Try to search for that topic here, I am positive I came across that same question that you have right now. But I suggest you visit this forum too...http://lbautista.proboards31.com, very informative forum too, mostly filipinos.
So, goodluck on your application.
