Hi Jstar / murthy909 / rmdharan / abhi812 and others who had been waiting for medicals,
I saw people getting passport requests, but did any one get medical request too?
Amazingly, my application completes 1 full year of being In-Process on June 24th. I saw that Buffalo's processing times are now 19 months. Based on fact that I submitted the full application to Buffalo in January 2010, it is already 16-17 months.
Emailing gets a standard reply that your application is in queue for further processing. It looks like I am in the most unlucky bunch.
Thanks,

Is this going to be a factor/and or is this related to the delays for some-I know this DOES not apply to previous applications, but whittling the UNLIMITED numbers to now 500 per occupation is super drastic and an indication that there is a concerted effort to seriously reduce if the rumor that over 250K applied from the USA during the recession is valid, then maybe these backlogged applications will be backlogged for a while......
Total number of Federal Skilled Worker applications received by CIC
From July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, a maximum of 10,000 Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) applications will be considered for processing.
Within this 10,000 limit, a maximum of 500 FSW applications per occupation will be considered for processing. The limit does not apply to those applications with a job offer from a Canadian employer.

Finally got my passports on June 30th with visa and went to Canada to finish immigration formalities over the weekend.. so now the wait is over and i will hopefully settle down in next 2 months..
got my CAIPS last week..
PSDEC =1 and the rest is zero (0)
I noticed that my FSW category was changed from SW2 to SW3 because "sufficient evidence has NOT been provided for SW2". I don't know whether this has effect on my application..
Kurt,
are u FSW1 or FSW2/3 ? because your profile signature says you are FSW1..
Anyway, i don't think there is big difference in waiting times...I am fsw1 and I've been waiting already 16 months since buffalo aor.. (in NYC)
Got my Visa today from New York, VO today. Thanks to everyone on this thread. Its been a 2 year 2 months journey of patience that finally paid off. I wish everyone the best of luck in getting to Canada.
