Thanks ready to send the mail,just got in frm a programme in church.
Ig,
I will advice that, you refrain yourself from asking for status of your application, instead you should frequently update CHC and supply additional information on your application or your status.(if applicable).
As an old applicant, CHC does not welcome status request even though they will reply to your enquiry but the response will always be a generic response which might not even correlate to the present stage of your application. Moreso, if CHC is ready to process your application, or the initial assessment, they will ask you to update your IRPA forms, job reference letters, ielts reports( if the previous ielts you sumitted is no longer valid), police reports, proof of funds, and or if there is/are any documents CHC will like to verify, they will ask for update of such documentS, Also ask you to submit specific passport photographs of every members of your family and data page passports of every member of the family.
Every old applicants will be asked for update. Myself was asked to update Police reports and proof of funds even though i have already updated all my douments. You should prepare yourself to expect this,cos you will be given 30days or 60days which one is earlier for CHC. On my case, i was given 30days to update the police reports and proof of funds, maybe because i have already updated the rest of the documnets 3months before CHC requested for update of the police reports and the proof of funds.
I hope writing the steps and the processes of my case will help you to know what you might expected and hope this will help you a lots.
Cheers
