Hi Suganya,
I guess status change is depend on officer. I dont see any standarded time line for it. Few of my friends applied after me, same as your time line. Their status changed to "In Process" earlier than me even though they applied few months before them.
My status changed after 9 months. So dont worrry, relax and check with Visa office in Colombo by visiting and asking them.

Hi Suganya, welcome to the thread. There isn't much to say other than wait. A friend of mine applied in Dec, file was received in Colombo in Jan and visa
issued last week. What is your status on Ecas? Has it changed to "in process"?

Thanks T7. At least thiss a great relief for me to share my pain with you. Oh ...yr frined is so lucky. I wonder why they even didnt change my status into in process???its still same from January 'Application received" (and Medical results have been received). Anyway I wish you'll get visa soon...please update info guys...this is so worth for us all...BTW after issuing visa is therea deadline to enter Canada??? TC..tks once again T7.

I guess I am so unlucky.. its been a month since med expired, my wife went to the embassy last week and she was told that they would call her. my wife is pregnant and she is entering her second trimester..no point of her coming here if she doesnt get visa in another month or so..

Hey Suganya. No problem at all. I am pretty sure that you'll hear something within few weeks. My meds are about to expire within few weeks and I havent heard anything. I am very frustrated.

Watnxt. I know how happy you are. Congrats again. It wasn't that bad as we expected right? I mean for u. Anyway, best wishes. Keep in touch. I won't have access to the Internet on Saturday since I am departing tomorrow so advance wedding anniversary wishes for you bro. Have a great and a memorable time.

Waiting111. Sorry to hear your concern but my friend is in the same position as you are. He's meds expired last month. Hope they call for remeds. When did you apply?

Watnext!!! OMG Great news!!! So happy for you :D

Sguanya, my hubby is here on a visitor visa. We applied in November 2010, docs sent to Colombo in Jan and our meds expired in june 2011. But they still gave him the visitor visa! so it won't effect ur file as long as you apply properly :)

hope this helps and welcome to our thread!
