Hi,

I am in the same boat as you.. I am waiting for a notification from CIC that they received my medicals..Did they notify you about your medicals after they received it or they only told about your medicals ?

Nowadays it takes anywhere up to 3 months or more for online applications. I believe you got medical request. If yes, then you might get passport request in the near future.

Once you submit your passport, it takes up to 2 weeks to get back the passport with visa stamp.

I am in canada and I have applied it through lawyer here.I was assuming that the online is quick and have done that. He didn't get any update so far .I think he will be getting update on his login portal right.Do me or my husband receive any email notification?

lakshmiKoppala,

For some reason, SOWP paper applications are processed faster than online applications. CIC Website says 2 months is the processing time. But it usually takes longer than that. In my case it took 2 months and 2 weeks for them to send passport request(I am feb 5th online applicant). Since you have applied through lawyer, he will be receiving updates or email notifications. But you can check status by yourself by visiting the following link.

Did you attach medicals upfront?


Thanks,

The link you have sent is wrong. It is for eTA status and not for SOWP status. Those applications start with W.

The link worked fine for me as well. I am 2015 Dec applicant and The application was paper based. The moment I got the request for medical, I got my application number as well. And going to the same url I was able to track the progress. When I got passport dispatched email I went back and checked the status of my application and it was changed to approved.
So it pretty much worked for me

And it says that the application number starts with a V. I applied through a lawyer and mine starts with W. Is that ok?
