Hello Eagle333,

Thanks for quick reply yesterday, but still the question is hanging for many applicants ... so once again, main concern was that many ecase files are not showing Medical received ... it shows only two line... as following:

1. We received your application for permanent residence on July 22, 2015.
2. We started processing your application on September 22, 2015.


so, what is your analysis on the above applicants without (Medical results have been received.) line and what is the eligibility for these kind of files...


Regards,

Hello Eagle3333,

You had asked for the notes from my GCMS and so I posted them a few pages back. My take on the Eligibility: Not Assessed is because the package was opened, they saw our request to transfer the file to Abu Dhabi, and then went through the process of sending it to Abu Dhabi as the physical file stated "In Transit". So I'm going to order GCMS notes in a few months (maybe Jan 2016) to see if there's been any progress made.

If you had any other thoughts, always happy to hear them...but at this point I'm not too worried...you're doing an amazing job responding to everyone's enquiries....

Take care,

C.

Hi Eagle333, here is my case. We would appreciate your remarks!

Permanent Residence
1. We received your application for permanent residence on January 19, 2015.
2. We started processing your application on August 10, 2015.
3. Medical results have been received.
4. We sent you correspondence on September 14, 2015. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

08/19/2015 - ECAS status went into "In Process"
09/14/2015 - We received email from Mexico City VO with AOR2 and request for 4 additional documentation items; 1) updated Schedule A Background/Declaration requesting specifics about a 9 month trip through Central, South America and USA., also requested 2) documentation from spouse (me) of proving my intent to re-establish in Canada (we live in Mexico together right now), and 3) a letter outlining my wife's (the PA) plan to reside in Canada, and 4) Federal criminal record check for Mexico (PGR).
All these 4 documents were couriered to the VO in Mexico City on OCTOBER 7, 2015 and received in the VO on October 8th, 2015 (They gave us 30 days to submit everything.)
10/16/2015 - ECAS updated with Line 3, "Medicals Received"

We have never requested GCMS notes! A couple other points I want to make... 1) There is a significant age difference between myself and my wife, and 2) I am fully confident that there will be no problems found in criminality and security checks.

So, in trying to understand your analysis, I assume my wife passed medicals?? Has she already passed eligibility too? And they are already working on criminality?? Can we tell if they have waived an interview yet? Any idea on how much longer we may have to wait? My wife's medical results expire Dec 15, 2015. Is it worth it at this stage to order GCMS notes? Thanks in advance!

Everybody listen up,

I just got off the phone a while ago with a friend of mine whose big brother works for CIC around the globe. I ask my friend to ask his brother why new applicants have 3 lines very quickly on their eCas? and their eCas shows in process with the date they started processing? He told him that; way down from 2011, CIC had a huge
backlog to clear because the background checks were requested after the eligibility passes, if someone had to go through an interview their background checks were only started after they pass eligibility via interview. But CIC wants to cut the backlog by introducing a new strategy in requesting the background checks even before eligibility is not finished yet so that when the VO will finished updating the eligibility the background might come right quickly to allow them in taking a quick Decision. He said today they update eCas to in process at the very early date but it does not mean that the file is almost done also eligibility in some cases is still under review by 3 different officers each one take turns, usually the 3rd Officer is a Manager mostly a Canadian notional but
the first 2 officers are always local people that are trained by CIC to work for Canada in their home country. Now I understand why CIC usually says that file is under review even for 3 months. So guys he said that as long as there is no additional documents requested or interview letter sent, the applicants should not worry and the date shown on eCas is when the application went in process or is when they requested the background checks at the same time they will take time to review the eligibility stage. He said they don't want to wait for someone to pass an interview so that they can start the checks it slows down the process.

Hope I did something for Millions of applicants who are troubled about the new and old in process. I am will take questions with more confidence now. Guys I am working so hard because my brother is also sponsoring his wife that is why you see I am very dedicated like this, otherwise I would have been busy doing other things. lol

Im sponsor me and my wife went together for interview on oct 7 in Islamabad. The visa officer was lady and took one hour with my wife and 20 min together. She did not clarify if i passed or not but gave back passport and said she will decide in one month when she goes back to london. She gave back some documents but she kept police certificate(first time given on interview), photocopies of our both passports, money transfers, some ruqsti pictures, 4 passport size photos. Does that mean she rejected my case? After 10 days my ecase changed to decision made but no letter yet.

It is does not look good my friend, don't quote me wrong. they could have kept your passport right there at the interview and show DM in eCas. In your case they return the passport and keep police certificate because it belongs to them now, they return to you simple paperwork except the passport which they can not keep. I suspect a rejection, again I could be wrong too. I have so many questions now than answers for your case. Things don't make sense at all. Keep us informed of what they will say because there is a letter on your way in 2 weeks from the day of that decision. Good luck
