Hi
My wife finally got the passport request yesterday

Submitted application on sept 17 2015.
AOR - early Dec
File transfer - mid Jan 2016
Jun14 - requested to submit Q8 and Q12 in schedule A and new police clearance
Jun30 - my 2015 T4, notice of assessment and employment letter
August 19 - re-medical request (3 days after expiry)
November 14 - sent an email for the first time asking any updates in our file
November 16 - Passport request

This morning i got a email from GCKey saying there is an update on my file. But i just logged in, nothing changed. I noticed the samething with GCKeys when she did remedical. Got an email after 4 saying something updated nothing was changed. 3 weeks later on a Sunday midnight got another email saying something is updated but then medical went from "Not needed at this time" to "passed"

Application/profile status Open
Review of eligibility Review in Progress
Review of medical results Passed
Review of submitted documents
Scheduling an interview Not needed at this time
A background check is needed In Progress
Final decision Not Started

I dont see any changes in ecas as well. "in-progress"

for those who are still waiting Good luck :)

Hi,

What have been the reasons so far for getting an interview, instead of ppr directly?
