Hi everyone,
I need your comments/advice.... I received the request for medical and pcc for my parents yesterday. The problem is they have asked for a pcc from scotland and UK separately which is interesting because they are practically the same. My dad lived there about 30 years ago...we have contacted scotish police department through friend who lives there and supposedly they dont have such a document as police clearance for immigration purposes. They just have something called conviction history which is very complicated process and its hard to get within 1 month. What you guys suggest me to do? Should I contact CIC? Is there any way to talk to the officer who is processing the file?
compose a letter to explain the situation.... being real is fine

I was going through the spreadsheet and saw a few "Upfront IME". My assumption is that those are the medical checks done before the applicants receive IME requests.

Can you do medical before you get the request?

I know you can get police clearance any time you want as it does not require any form from CIC. But, as far as I can remember, medical checks require a form issued by CIC. That said, if it's ok to do medical without having to wait for the request from CIC, then I might as well do it because I know IME and police clearance checks are coming anyway.

I'm sure it's been asked before. But, I don't remember the answer :D

Thanks guys!
No, not every one can do police certificate any time, it depends on which country. Like my home country, I need to receive the request letter from CIC before I can apply it. And up to now, I still have not received it despite I have asked for via webform numerous time. But in my CIC account, it require me to upload by 17 Nov. Therefore I upload an email copy from my home country's police department explaining that I need a request letter.

My home country need to process 4 weeks time too. They told me just upload the receipt will be fine, as this proves that u hv already applied it but just it needs a longer time.

1) If they grey out the "spouse", don't worry about. Fill out what you can.
2) You'd put your biological dad, as he is her "previous" marriage. Answer the date they got married, divorced etc.
3) Your deceased stepdad info needs to be in the additional family information. That's where you can enter his info (not in Generic Application Form).
Thanks for the clarification.

A Question.
HI @YULIA-2016
I did already link the application to cic online portal. I logged in and uploaded requested proof of medical exams, police clearance certs and travel doc and went "Next" on the page and submitted the docs. It is showing that "Replacement Provided" (in green colour) for all docs.
I believe that's all and it has reached to CIC.

Do I have to send these docs in mail to CIC as well ?
I am confused because even after submitting the docs completely, it says on the cic portal, that "Your action is required".
Please help !!

Hi All, I have a question that my mom has super visa which is expiring June, 2019 so I am planning to bring her Canada before visa expires. Do I need to formally inform CIC that my mom is here like writing a letter to them and update her address as Canadian address? When her immigration process will complete, does she need to exit and enter to get the new status. Her immigration file is at stage 1 so I am confused what to do? and don’t want to do anything which affects immigration process. Thanks in advance.
