Thanks for the updates.gapoha said:They received it in 16th December, actually there were big struggle. My resident permit is expiring in my country here at the end of this month. So I keep sending emails last week seriously to CIC about so last Friday I go response from them at they are waiting for the request of my kids medical which hasn't come yet so they would like to return my passport to me and request it again when their medical results is in. I replied them the time is too short for me to get my passport back and extend my visa after they keeping for it a month. They should issue the visa as my kids are unacompanying me to Canadian now. Then my wife went to their mp in Canada of the case, because I sent their medical in July last with my but they claimed they didn't get it and I added it again with my passport and sent to them. So the mp called Mississauga and they said AVO didn't link my kids medical to my application so it was just sitting at the office there. They quickly sending email to Accra to link it and also make sure they issue the visa before I arrange for m passport. That was yesterday. Early yesterday my medical status changed to passed and today application closed with pickup email.
