Ah yes, it seems to be the new standard to send out batch requests of these emails to everyone. They must have our applications sorted into groups and every person in a certain group will get the emails on the same day. I received the RPRF request email in mid-August and the FBI check one around the second week of September. My notes from September 11, however, state that only my medical check has been completed. No other checks and no visa officer has been assigned to my case (as of that date anyway). I'm not sure if I'm ready to order another set of notes yet. Just more disappointment I'm afraid. My ecas status changed to "in process" on August 21st with the in process date being April 8, the day my file was received in Ottawa.
This uncertainty is giving me some mad anxiety. And well, I can't see a doctor because no OHIP. Lovely. Come on CIC!
