Your sponsor in canada.. Did u guys try anything else.. Like go see the mp and ask abt the status
No.. didn't try anything as we didn't pass the given processing time of 14 months!! My hubby's friend sponsored his wife and she got her visa within 8 months! (She applied before me, and got her visa in April/March )

Me too! So much stressed! And now I really want my visa and want this hard time to end soon! :( that's good, try to send them an e-mail, because if your medical expires, then you'll have to do re-medical!! So try to do something before that! Hope you get visa soon dear.. Fingers crossed for everyone
