I’m also a Quebec applicant and will hit my one year mark this October. Still haven’t received our medical request. As far as I know, after the one year mark we can contact our MP; however, I think we can also request GCMS notes for further details.
This is not normal as per my knowledge everyone get ther medical request with in 5 month from application submitted send visa office to email and also webform inquiry too

Hi Yoge,

Yes, I have linked my application. Thank you for your help. My status says that they are reviewing my eligibility and procesing background check. Medical passed on 8th September and It also statses that No need of additional documents? What doee this mean? or will they ask for additional docs in future? Is my background check started? Please advise

Thanks Yoge for the suggestion! I will do that actually. I sent an email to the Colombo Visa Office, but they replied with an automatic message saying that our application is in queue.

Ya my husband contacted MP in their. They asked 3 weeks time. I don’t know any idea about GCMS what’s that?

Thanks for this info Yoge! I sent a web enquiry and it came back with the same automated reply “Your file is in queue to be reviewed by an officer”

@Jameela Zaheem I hope this works out for you! I am going to contact my area MP next month once I hit the 1 year mark. I can’t believe it takes this long to process an application from Sri Lanka. Unbelievable!

Do you know if in such cases, where there is a delay without reason, whether we can hire an immigration lawyer to speed up the process or at least find out why there is a delay and proceed? Is that even an option? Anyone else have experience?
