Dear Canadamylove,

Are you sure about the statement: "u can do her MR with the protective shield of Xray but that is not considered complete MR".

You mean, if the women is pregnant, the only option is to wait until the child is born?

I had a check at the Panel Members' HANDBOOK 2013 here: Panel Members' HANDBOOK 2013

http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLish/resources/publications/dmp-handbook/index.asp#chap4.6.1

Pregnancy affects only the Chest XRAY:

4.6.1 Pregnant client

If the client chooses to defer her CXR because of pregnancy:

eMedical-enabled Panel Clinics

CIC is informed electronically by eMedical when a CXR is deferred and the health case is put on hold when a client is pregnant and chooses to defer her CXR;
CXR requisition and instructions are generated by eMedical and provided to the client;
eMedical generates a “Pregnancy deferral letter” with instructions for the client;
All other components of the IME are completed and the IME is put on hold status until the CXR is completed;
The IME will be submitted to CIC along with the CXR results when available.

It also says: There may be cases where a client may not be pregnant at the time of the IME, but is pregnant at the time of the x-ray examination. If a client is pregnant and elects to proceed with the chest x-ray examination, there are no changes to the chest x-ray procedures.

So based on the handbook, if the client CHOOSES not to undergo Xray, then only your medical is considered incomplete.

To whom it may concern: PLEASE CONTACT A PANEL DOCTOR AND ASK THEM DIRECTLY ABOUT WHETHER THE MEDICAL WILL BE COMPLETED IF XRAY IS DONE EVEN IF ONE IS PREGNANT.

this is what I have heard and confirmed from docs at IOM KHI. they says if client insist than we do the xrays with shield but its not considered complete if client is in 4th month of labor. u have to do the delivery and do the medical again. I don't know about initial 3 months of labor duration. I m not sure on this thing as never went through this, just shared my views and thoughts on it. the person must consult and confirm it from the physician there.

I would like to know whether LVO updates the second line in ECAS? I have the first line in ecas recently.


Just wanted your expert opinion on this

 

[zenghi]

Dear, after how much time of PER u can ask LVO about your case status or E-mail for inquiry?

It is better not to contact them for some time (~1.5 months) unless you have a query. However, you may enquire about the status occasionally (probably every 1.5-2 months). Sometimes they wont reply..

 

[SADEED]

Yes bro we had exactly same timeline with same VO (VCM) up till now but I'm still waiting for update after medical and u received it yesterday

Any update on your file.

Yes if you want you can undergo xray for the wife with a protective shield. Scientific studies have shown that XRay that reaches the womb after wearing the protective shield is quite low and relatively harmless. But personally, i wont take the risk cause it is a radiation and can affect the cells (my view).

If you ask for extension every one will have to wait until the child is born.

Also, many airline wont let you travel once your wife is ~7 months pregnant. So you have technically 5-6 months to undergo the remaining procedures.

delay medicals. Dont take risk. ITS YOUR BABY

Either via Aamer or better still use VFS. You can hand deliver at the embassy too.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Dear,

I received a positive reply on my immigration application on 7th Jan 2015 with a request to submit my passport for PR visa with following instructions:

Step 2: Submit the following to our office
1. Your passport and a passport for each accompanying family member. The passports must be the same as the photocopies submitted to London in Step 1. If you have obtained new passports, then you must start again from Step 1. (Do not submit passports for accompanying family members who are entitled to Canadian citizenship, because they will have to travel on their Canadian passports.)

Step 1 is when you submit your and your accompanying family members passport number, passport expiry date, height, eye color, native language details, current mailing address & telephone numbers to CIC once medical call is received. Step 1 in short is basically the steps before a final decision is taken on your immigration application.

The issue is that I got my passport renewed and sent the intimation to CIC (via return email & through CIC inquiry page) as mentioned above but it has been almost 20 days that I haven't received a reply from CIC despite sending 3 reminders.

I want to know if I can send both passports (the one as the photocopies submitted to London in Step 1) along with the the new passport? Or, Should I wait for a reply from CIC (which I don't know when to expect) before sending passports for PR visa?

Please guide since this is the last stage of my application process.

No offense, but it's common sense that you should've sent a physical copy of the PP just like you did earlier. I did the same and they updated it within a week.

Dear friends,

How long does it take to complete security and criminality? I got my latest caips notes last week in which it was mentioned that criminality and security not started yet whereas Eligibility and Medicals were passed. Soon its going to be 2 months sice I submitted my original documents (PCC, RPRF, POF, updated forms, updated info chart and passport copies) but no reply yet. I have seen people getting PPR2 within months, weeks and even days. What is the reason and how are they treating all the cases? And what they do or check in Criminality and Security as everything in our PCC was clearly stated that ''No Criminal Records.'' Do they verify the PCCs again and how? They told us in their first email that they will contact within four months from which 2 are passed. Any one of you facing same situation?

Regards.
Fazal.
