Applied in November 2021. Did medical twice, but no update for one and a half years. Is anyone in the same boat?. Had military service background

Order GCMS notes. Probably under comprehensive security screening due to the military service background. Not much you can do but wait if that's the case.

Hi, I’m in the same boat we send the medical almost year and 4 month ago but 5 month ago they ask for more detail about my dad military service and we send it too I’m just worried because the medical was how I say one year and 4 months

The GCMS work for parents PR application?

Applied on Oct 2022, my dad had several years of conscript in China almost 60 years ago.

How about your case? Conscript or anything else?

Thank you very much for reply.

I got it. Please share updates if you get in future. It is very hard to find similar case to compare the timeline.

Did your parents work in the military, law enforcement or high level government? What is their citizenship? Did you order GCMS notes? No background started?

Applied Nov 2021; still, GCMS says "security pending." It's been total silence since 2023. All other formalities are done, medical is done twice, and we passed both times, but now it has expired again.

Anyone in this same situation ?

Yes, same - it feels like IRCC has abandoned processing our files altogether
