I called CIC today and it says they are processing applications received before September 19, 2016. Looks like it's moving fast.

Hi Profiler, its Nov 2, 2016
You will probably see movement near the end of October... until then, there likely isn't much going on. Medicals are processed outside CIC.

just called CIC again and they said they just started to do my BC from Sep 7....so sad
I wouldn't let it bother you. The call centre usually doesn't know what's going on. What was your submission date again? Sorry, my remembery is bad -- getting old sucks!

I am an aug 2016 applicant and CIC started my BG check at July 4th and still going on...
It seems like they slow down to working on the applications who submitted on AUG/JUL/SEP. they started my background check almost 1 year after theyve received my application.

It's not abnormal. Not to worry. Mine was started over a year after I had submitted but once they start dealing with your file it's finished in the matter of days and sometimes hours.

You've only just surpassed the 12 month period however since you applied in August, you're still apart of the old system which was 26 months. Not to worry though, you'll be finished in no time. Believe me.

I am very happy to report that we received Applicant Eligible to apply on Sept 13, followed by my Spousal approval to sponsor Sept 14, and now this morning an email informing us of the Landing Interview to be held Sept 26, in Vancouver. I mailed the Inland application September 26, 2016, and received first acknowledgment Oct 3. Medical had to be redone in August as the first was expired.
Thank you very much to the Forum that has answered every question that I could have thought of, and many that I would never have thought of.

Her mom wanted her to get a Mini Cooper (truth be told -- I did too; but only a manual gearbox!). She wanted something simple and cheap to run. So, she went for a Focus. My parents have always had one around, for more than a decade. So she decided that was better for her.

She won't drive my Charger -- hood is too long. For someone still learning, that can make parking problematic.
I got my landing interview. It will be in 12 days. Thanks guys for all the support
