still waiting after medicalse, BUT, "if it says "in process" it´s good"

[Yojimbo]

Hey guys,

As you may or may not know, my medicals were sent on August 2, 07 and I still haven´t got a reply or anything from CIC.

Being the curious George that I am, today I went to the embassy and spoke to an (incredibly hot) immigration officer at the Cdn embassy in Vzla. She told me that my medicals had arrived (yay!) and now they were doing some other checks. She said that it was not up to them how long the other checks were going to last, "but it should be quick". I´m not surprised that it´s taking a bit longer since I´ve lived in 3 countries since my 18th bday.

When I mentioned that on the Internet status nothing changed she said not to worry, that was not a bad thing. "Basically," she said, "if it says "in process" it´s good."

So yeah! Thought I share that with you guys.

Oh, by the way, you can´t just walk in and talk to an officer, but I wanted to hand in a document mentioning an identity mistake... long story. That gave me a window to ask about my case.

Let´s keep waiting everyone! and happy New (waiting) year!

Just to share my personal experience. My medicals were submitted on September 23, 2007 (as per my fedex tracking) and our online status was changed to medicals received in November 24, 2007. November 27, I received my PPR request. I flew to Buffalo personally to get our Passports stamped on December 13, got everything and plan to land sometime April 2008.

Good Luck and Happy New Year.

well, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "try this as a change"

... but the medicals are, the medicals. To put in medical terms, x rays, blood, pee, eye stuff, etc. And CIC has designated doctors in most countries for you go spend a few hundred dollars in these medicals.

But it sounds to me like you're not familiar with the process. It's not a matter of applying one day, having the medicals the next week, and "welcome to Canada" the next.... well, it's actually like that, but just substitute "days" for "years"
