status update

So, after doing a little more searching on the CIC website - it seems like we are slowly progressing down the list. Where I have italicized and put in purple seems to be about where we are now. The embassy has asked for a couple more pieces of documentation and would like Ronel to redo his police check and also update some of the documentation since he filled it out a year ago.

So, once we get past this step, it looks like they may then call him in for an interview and then the next step will be the decision! This is where they say they check the medical results so this may be where they tell us if Ronel has to redo his medical exam or not, but I am currently taking it as a good sign that they didn't mention it in the letter they sent to Ronel as it was dated only 6 days before his exam was to expire.

What I am looking forward to is the step way at the bottom in GREEN which is when our application will be complete and Ronel will be here in BC as a permanent resident of Canada!
