According to the code, they request new medical examination directly before ppr. However, this is not the xase every time. In my case, i did the new med 2 months ago and no ppr in the horizon!vernon22445 said:

Thanks, although not a board I wanted to joinSirgic said:
(no disrespect to the people in here ) Was hoping to be among the 80% who get PPR in 6 months or less ... maybe that statistic needs to be updated!
LOL. I agree, no one here have imagined to be in this ship. But I believe everything happens for a good reason. Wish you very short waiting time PSIL.PSIL said:Thanks, although not a board I wanted to join

My husband and I redid our medicals two weeks back. Finally they were passed the other day. I don't expect to hear any news anytime soon though.Sirgic said:

Always I ask myself, why are our applications taking so much time compared to others? There are guys in the thread waiting for over a year! At first I thought maybe the country of origin plays a role, like for example middle Eastern countries may need further security checks due to the instability in the region. However, the list shows ppl from other places too! Again, what causes the delays?
I am pretty sure it is related to background and security checks, but isn't 6, 9, or even 12 months enough?
Just wanted to share with you my thoughts

@Sirgic, I have the exact same thought as you. Have been stuck in the security check for months. I googled about long security check today and was surprised (and horrified) to find this guy’s very unfortunate experience: stuck in security check for four YEARS only to find that it was due to the CIC’s bureaucratic malfunction.
https://secure.immigration.ca/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1191&PN=1&title=delayed-background-check-csis-mandamus
TL;DR: this guy’s security check took four years until he finally sued CIC because there was a misunderstanding between CSIS and CIC, he knew it after ordering numerous GCMS notes.
“In our case, it seems that CSIS had sent some sort of reply to CIC a bit after BC started, but CIC didn't see that reply. So CIC kept waiting for 2 years without trying to ping CSIS and see what was going on (despite my numerous requests)!!! When they finally pinged CSIS again, CSIS asked CIC to request them to start a new BC and hinted that this time CIC can ask them to mark it as an urgent case. But even after one more year, that second BC was not finished. This is all I know.”
Guys, given that you are just a normal human-being with a clean background, it is NOT normal to have your security screening stuck for several months! And obviously from the post, for some cases, just “waiting patiently” will NOT lead to any good result.
Also, the guy in the post listed every step he took to fight for himself in which the last step was taking the case to federal court based on a concept called "writ of mandamus". He did a thorough research on all the court cases relating to this concept (he is really a brave and strong soul).
“So my lawyer filed a claim on my behalf based on the fact that I had been waiting for my immigration for a bit more than 4 years and the fact that I had never been involved in any "bad stuff". My lawyer told me that in most of the cases, the moment you sue immigration, the wheels start to move and CIC tries to finalize your file before they have to appear in court. So most likely, you'll get your immigration before the court date. And that was exactly what happened to me. When you file for mandamus, it may take around 3 months for the court to accept to take your case and set a court date and the court date may be within 3-4 months of that time (so your court date may be 6-7 months after you file your claim).
In my case, right after I filed my claim, immigration contacted me and asked for my updated address. Then, they started to ask for some documents, etc (including renewing my medicals). After the court date was set, they seemed to double the speed! Long story short, I got my immigration visa shortly after the court date was set (i.e., a few months before the court date).”
My heart is still sinking when I am typing this post. This thread has been a “Chicken Soup for the Soul” for us who have crossed six months. But I do suggest we can also do our own research on the long security check (since everyone has his/her unique googling/researching skills and different sources of information), share our findings/information/experience here, exchange our ideas and then, maybe make some strategies for this problem?

This makes me speechless! We should develop a strategy at least to understand what is going on.
