Thanks rathika for your response. Could you please tell me what questions they asked you hubby.. How long they interviewed him? my hubby and I are so worry about it.. they refused him before because of the police clearance. We expect a letter to re do medical but now they asked him to come for an interview.... i don't know what to do if they reject him again....

we expectIts already 3 years passed for us.

Hi all,
couldn't write for a long time. its been more than 16 months since i applied, and when we e mailed the colombo office the reply is that they are doing background check. that was there reply like 6 months ago. i redo medical and police certificate last november. still no reply.
what i guess is they have standard reply that they send to everybody.
hopefully something will happen soon.

Dear Madam:

Please be advised that your spouse's file is presently with the case officer for review for selection and background processing. We expect this two stages to be attended to in the near future. Once these two stages are completed we will inform your spouse accordingly

Hi I got my AOR on 19 January 2012. They received my application in Missisagua on November 18, 2011. My husband's ecas says medicals received. We still have not submitted the police report, going to wait atleast a month before I email and ask them when he should submit it.
Vignes you and I have somewhat close timeline, lets wait and see...Most of the others in this thread should get their visa anytime now.
Mell wat is happening to you? Yours has taken more than their average time too...Have you contacted the embassy to find out why?

To all those that got a reply that background check is being completed in Colombo you will have to be patient. Most files at this embassy are going through a security screening where by CIC sends the info to CSIS (Canadian Security Inteligience Service) who are ensuring that the overseas applicant does not pose any threat to Canada. This is why some files are taking longer than other as they have been refered for Security screening.

If you have been requested to do the medical once again the most likely means that your security screening has been completed and they are ready to finalize your case. Usually within 3 months of doing the medical the visa will be isused. So my only advise to all those tha are waiting, please wait patienlty and your time will come.
