That seems to be the sense by reading this blog but it's very hard to know if there's something specific about our files (Sept and Oct 2017) that's causing this, I know ppl that applied on Nov 2017 and they're PR already...I had my medical in April 2018 in Montreal and the result was received and passed in May. They are not requesting another one for now. I was just wondering if that was normal. I guess it is normal then. A lot of applications (September- October 2017) were delayed
