Thanks for the info Faa. My husband is on his way to Jaffna now. He will go in person and find out hopefully they dont ask for bribe or delay for any reason. We are running out of time so hope nothing goes wrong. Let's wait and see what happens.
Don't worry hun! You'll get it asap! Prayers for you!!

Hey, I beleive you have to send the original police clearance by registered mail not by email. If I were you, I would send the original police clerance by registered mail and also send the PDF of it by email to be on the safe side
Thanks Lav

Hey Vijay, even if the office is open around the holiday times, I think the visa issuing officer will be in Canada with their family for the holidays so I dont think they will be issuing any visa around Christmas time. This is only my guess afterall this whole immigration process/procedure is just a guessing game.

thats true lav... Canada immigration process is more tougher for spouse application day by day and the new process shows as 12 month however according to me 12 months is also not happy news for spouse application...and they said 80% or 90% of application will be process within 12 month(we all know how cic play tricky with that 10%)

Hopefully for they have assistant or something ... Already waited too long :'(

DM on ECAS. MyCIC is still in process.

So I am confused. Is it really DM or in process?

Yes; the status changed over the weekend.
