Same here. I've had 8 e-CAS tracker updates (all saying application received June 9) since e-CAS tracker was first able to log me in on June 4. ::)

Does anyone have any insight into what information to include on a fax I want to send to Ottawa Medical Centre to check if medicals were forwarded (since Buffalo confirming that is a pipedream)? I guess name and address of DMP office, name of signing DMP, date medical was conducted, my name and date of birth.....anything about my file though? (Client ID, file number at Buffalo?)

The American woman I met last week who has been in process over a year called her MP. They checked her file and said she was missing an xray which she has re-sent twice since her original medical. Her doctor apparently called Buffalo and they were magically able to "locate it" and they made a decision on her case. Now she just has to wait for the official PPR. Will get the full story at lunch today; we're going to celebrate.

Hi

Did you ask them whether you can tell me if you have received my medicals or not?

Lovely ::) So they will only feel obliged to reply if it's an MP that inquires?
