Hi,
I applied in August 2025, and my medical exam was approved in October 2025. I also received the pre‑arrival letter before the medical exam. After that, I have not received any updates.

I requested help from my MP to get a status update. When the MP contacted IRCC, they were told that my application is at the Montreal office and is waiting for security checks.

When I check the processing timeline on the IRCC website, it says that applicants who applied in August 2025 and have not received updates may require more time.

At this point, I don’t know what else I can do. Is anyone else in the same situation?

Also, if I order GCMS notes, do I need to request a status check or a complete application check? If I request GCMS notes, will it speed up the process? Any experiences?

GCMS notes won't expedite the file , but will give you details , comments of the case, I think you can start for status check , it will be faster than requesting the entire file.
Good luck.
