Processing times are an average of 47 months (presuming you applied under FSW via London processing office) and any delays caused by having to resubmit documents would make that longer.

However, medical requests are one of the last things to be done as they are only valid for 12 months - so you could theoretically be here by Christmas, going by your timeline you should be almost done.

you get your PP and RPRF requests soon.

If you don't hear anything in the next month or so, perhaps send a case-specific enquiry asking if there is any other information or documentation they require to finalise your application.. it works for some.

What is PP and RPRF? We applied under FSW via London with no re-submits, we even have relatives in Van. I'm just losing hope at the minute. When we originally applied we were told 12-18 months

Passport and right of permanent residency fee requests.

You said in your timeline that you had to submit more info - "19-11-13 more info required' - so that would have added a little time to the processing.

It must be terribly disheartening for you having to wait for so long.

The more info was just the new forms so not really more info just updated. We've already paid the PR fees, sent a bankers draft about 2 years ago (on request) so don't think they'll want any more money from us as already paid two lots.

Correction - it was a bankers draft sent with the docs in September 2010. We had to get a bankers draft through my work as Nationwide didn't do them. But still sent them about £1000 already so they won't be wanting more will they?

That would have been your application fees to process.

You also have to pay a Right of Permanent Residence Fee.

#2 is the processing fees
#4 is the RPRF

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp
Processing Fees:
Federal Skilled Workers, Quebec Skilled Workers, Canadian Experience Class, and Provincial Nominees

Principal applicant
$550
A family member of the principal applicant who is 22 years of age or older, or is less than 22 years of age and is a spouse or common-law partner
$550
A family member of the principal applicant who is less than 22 years of age and is not a spouse or common-law partner
$150
Getting your permanent resident status $490
Principal applicants (with some exceptions) and spouses and common-law partners coming with them to Canada must pay this fee. Applicants must pay this fee before CIC issues the permanent resident visa or before the applicant becomes a permanent resident in Canada.

These people do not have to pay this fee:

dependent children of a principal applicant or sponsor, a child to be adopted, or an orphaned brother, sister, niece, nephew or grandchild;

Background checks are done to verify the medical, criminal and/or security background of visa applicants to ensure they are admissible to Canada. If you have lived in more than one country, they will take longer.
