So myCIC says basically:
We received Myname's application for permanent residence on September 2, 2016.
We started processing Myname's application on October 17, 2016.
Medical results have been received.
From what i read here, when it is going well it should also say
Backgroung check in progrees???
Or i get some other type of notification?
First of all i wish you good luck and i suggest you to have a lot of patience. I got passport reguest at 30/01/2017 so that seems to be finalized soon. They received my application at 11/7/2016 , they started proccessing it at August , got sponsor Aprroval at 25/8 and since then i was waiting and waiting adn waiting and waiting any news from Rome . So , in total , the whole proccedure lasted 6-7 months , which is quite fast.
You have to consider that
1) The proccesing time of application depends for when and where are you aplying , (New application package or old)
2) Any erros or mistakes of filling up the application could delay the proccess
3) I suggest you pay all the fees upfront
4) MEdicals should be accepted
5) Respond immidiatelly to anything they request. ( additional documents)
6) Register to my cic , link your application there and you will have more informations about your account . http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/account.asp
Wish you a good luck and a really fast good news.
