Would you mind sharing your mycic status: eligibility, criminality, security and medicals?. It would help :)

Application/profile status Open
Review of eligibility Review in Progress
Review of medical results Passed
Review of submitted documents
Scheduling an interview Not needed at this time
A background check is needed In Progress
Final decision Not Started
All documents and payments were sent upfront.

I was also wondering when I will find out whether an agent wants to interview me or not? I was thinking of sending my passport to my family in Poland to make the process faster, since I'm visiting Canada right now.

Here's what option #3 for submitting passport(s) reads:

Submitting your document(s) in Canada
If you have a mailing address in Canada and if you and all the accompanying dependents on your application are currently in Canada and plan to be in Canada for at least three months, you may submit your passport(s) to the Case Processing Centre – Ottawa.
You are required to send your document(s) together along with a copy of this letter by mail or courier to the following address with the additional following document:
· A self-addressed, pre-paid Xpresspost envelope from Canada Post.
Purchase your prepaid letter-sized (32 x 24 cm) Canada Post Xpresspost envelope (Regional if you live in Ontario or Quebec; National for other provinces and territories), at any Canada Post retail outlet.
Complete the mailing label showing your full mailing address in the “Deliver To” field.
Make a note of tracking numbers for each envelope.
Enclose this envelope along with your documents and a copy of this letter.
You can purchase a Canada Post shipping label on line at:

Hi All! We have submitted our application on August 25th 2016. I was approved as a sponsor of my husband in September and then on October 6th 2016 they started processing our application. I hope we will hear back from them by the end of February? When they will request my husband's passport is there an option to send it directly to Warsaw? Option 3 that you provided asks to send it to Ottawa, wouldn't that be processed longer? Thanks for help!

Is your husband in Canada? If so yes you would send it to Ottawa and Warsaw if he is not in Canada unless you were from a Russian country where it would go to Moscow. I actually think Warsaw is faster than Ottawa but I could be wrong.
 
@Sous02

Yes, he is currently in Canada however we would like to speed things up wherever we can so if Warsaw is faster I'd rather send it there.
If we travel to Poland during that time is there a chance to deliver the passport in person if by any chance they request it?

If he is already in Canada and can travel I am not sure of your rush. Yes he can go to the embassy in Warsaw and get it the same day but you will get a notice at a time you least expect it with a 30 day window. It is the very last part to this process so normally people are only concerned if they have a pending trip. You can count 6-8 months from the day they received your application.
 
Always willing to help and thank you for your help of course :D

On Friday i received GCMS notes, it took exactly three weeks since i sent a request to get them. I am a bit confused because it only includes information up to October 20, 2016 which is just the assessment of my sponsor. So only information from what happened in the visa office in Canada and nothing about my permanent residence application.

Check the date at the top. He will tell you a date it was captured on. Oct 20 seems to long ago

It says it was requested on the 16th of January, and it says that the last date updated is October 20 and there is no sign of an officer working on my application since my wife was approved as a sponsor. It looks like it only contains information from the Canada office.

So it was captured on Jan 16 and you are right nothing has changed since oct unless you see anything at the very end in the notes. There are update dates all over those crazy notes

I just find it weird because my background check changed its status on mycic and i read on the forum that it's one of the last steps of getting the decision. Thought i would've seen some information in the notes. Some people wrote on this forum that the notes were useless, maybe I have to agree with them.

I won an argument on this forum that not everything is recorded and sometimes it gets recorded later. I knew that from my work with the federal government.
 
I learned from the GCMS notes how CIC be slow in requesting new medicals. Our medical was expired by more than two months before they requested a new one. They changed the medical process with the new application, now you wait for them to request the medical.

I also noticed that our new set of notes has an evaluation of our relationship, but it does not say if they think its genuine or not. don't expect to learn everything about the application from the notes.
