Thanks gaggidhillon, user828 and sibnadian.
Kandel - hang on there, you are sure to get your email you`ve been waiting for. One thing I noticed on our spreadsheet is that, it represents about .1% of the total 165K backlog. The number of people on our spreadsheet whose row turned `green`are also roughly .1% of the total visas issued. What it means is, for every person on our spreadsheet who has received a visa, there are 900 others who have also received it. And for every person waiting to hear some news from CIC there are 900 others who are also waiting for their turn. I had to wait for 8 months after my file was transferred to ND, to receive their medical request. I have no reason to doubt why you too should not receive it after a similar wait. Like I said before, to prevent stress from over-powering you, keep your expectations low AFA CIC is concerned. I had drilled in my mind that I won`t hear from CIC until Mar`13 (based on AOR 9 months for first review it was Jan, but the GCMS notes indicated Due Date for medicals as March)- irrespective of how many others had got their request before me. So some myths that can be busted are:
- CIC is not working hard enough (they are meeting the goals that were defined - 25K visas this year and 25K for the next)
- Parents age can determine processing times
- Having dependents can affect processing times (though in my case there aren`t any dependents)
