We finally got a response from London regarding the additional docs we saw on MyCIC.

Dear applicant,
This is in response to your enquiry regarding the above noted file.
Please be advised that this application awaits an initial review in London, UK. Once this review has taken place, we will be in contact.
Please note that no further information is required from you at present.

We hope this is of assistance.

Sincerely,

NXR

A part of me wants to cry like a child! is it really too early for us to expect that at least an initial review would have been conducted?

CIC asked for URDU also? I mean that is so weird. Cause when I applied for Canada 2 years ago I didn't write urdu.
Yea supposedly it says so at the very top to write in English and in your native language. We totally missed it. But we were never asked to redo the form so I am guessing it's not that big a deal?

Kinza, Lvo made us wait for 8 months before an initial review took place and unfortunately for some other members of this forum it took 10 months.

From what I understand LVO processes few applicants in less than the the average time e.g. in 5-6 months as compared to 8-10 months and this makes the rest of us super anxious.

Having said that, last year in Sep-oct we saw a good amount of approvals which then increased as November and December came. I am sure the DMs and Pprs are around the corner.

Cheers!

INSHALLAH your process will be finished soon and before Xmas holidays.

We got married last month. Alhumullilah. Still haven't send the file to CIC. INSHALLAH next week planning to submit.

I think avg time is 6 months for 2017 applicants. But it varies case to case. Your medical done ?

Oh..That is good MASHALLAH. Btw. Can you tell me one thing about medical? When the person goes to do medical in Pak. Do they ask for passport for identity? or the CNIC is enough?

Thank you and all the best to you too.

thank you for your kind words and help. So sorry you guys had to wait so long, it must have been tough. Patience I am afraid isn't my forte :p but nothing else can be done.
