Hi ICJ - Your e-cas status was changed to In-Process on May 07. Is there any other update you got since then.

[Van80]

After 4 weeks the medical sent to Ottawa - the eCAS now shows an additional line on the status:
"Medical results have been received."

[DesiMike]

Hi Pari4U,

My understanding of the above is "Priority Categories" = "Sponsored Spouses, Partners, and Children" and "Other Categories" = "Other Members of the Family Class" (sponsored parents and grandparents)

That being the case, I hope that the timeline information provided on the website is outdated!

Hi Rajmalhotra,
My status sometime in early May showed that medicals have been received and just last week showed that in process that the processing was started on May 23, 2012. There are no other changes.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,

Info for this questions: My parents have completed their medical and been submitted by DMP to LVO (New delhi)
(AA). Can I apply for parents visitor visa to come to canada?
(BB). IF they are on visitor visa here, where do they have to send passport for PR visa stamping?
(CC). IF we get passport submit request from LVO, then at that time being in Canada, can we courier passport to LVO?

Frieds, Thanks in advance..

Congrats Van80. After 4 weeks, I still don't see status updated in my parents case, may be CIC have requested additional medical tests

(AA). Can I apply for parents visitor visa to come to canada?

They can at any time apply for a visit visa but that doesn't mean they will get it.

(BB). IF they are on visitor visa here, where do they have to send passport for PR visa stamping?

To their visa office.

(CC). IF we get passport submit request from LVO, then at that time being in Canada, can we courier passport to LVO?

I suppose you could but from what I have heard, there is a law in India that you can not mail Indian passport outside the country so the visa office will not mail back to them.  I suppose the visa office will mail it to their house where a relative can collect the passports and have them couriered to Canada.

Probably you will not receive additional medical request. May be their process (or visa officer) is taking time to update results in your e-cas. In my case, I received additional medical request in 2 weeks after submitting medicals. You should have received by now, if there were any additional medical test required. If you notice the folks who have passed medical tests have their e-cas updated atleast after a month. Good luck to you!!

Thanks Sponsorparents
My mother is here in Canada and her medical results were delivered to Ottawa on 26-Apr-2012 and Dad's medical results were delivered to Ottawa on 27-Apr-2012.
Your parents results were delivered to Ottawa on 30-Apr-2012.
Hopefully you will get update this week. Best of luck.

[sponsorparents]

Thanks rajmalhotra7 & Van80 for your kind words.
In case if CIC has to request additional tests then they would contact my parents in India as I am not a representative yet.
I really hope thats not the case and love to see a status change in a week or so. Fingers crossed.

no restrictions

To Consulate/Embassy

(CC). IF we get passport submit request from LVO, then at that time being in Canada, can we courier passport to LVO?
It is against law to mail passport from one country to another. (99% countries have this)

Frieds, Thanks in advance..

Hi Rick2007,

While your anxiety is quite understandable, CIC does not acknowledge the receipt of additional documents they had requested. You can make a "case specific" inquiry (using the online email link and providing details of the application). See if they respond to that. Check with CanadaPost to see if the package was delivered (not the signature, just that the package was delivered or not). In most cases, especially where international shipments are concerned, since the systems are not compatible between different postal services, acknowledgement of receipt is not given a priority (even though the packages are delivered).

Most likely, your package has been delivered but that information has not been passed back to Canada Post. You can also ask for GCMS notes (which takes a month to arrive) - in there you would get the details of when the additional documents were received in their file.
