Thank you hydrakanth. So your parents had medical exam in the past 12 months? According to experiences shared on this forum, CIC requires a medical for most people.
My major concern is that it is not very safe to go to a designated physician to have a medical exam these days and I would like to know what people did if they can successfully be exempt from the exam.
Yep, they had medical examination done within the past 12 month from back home. They had their return ticket booked when they arrived in Canada. But due to the ongoing pandemic, their return flights were cancelled by the airline, so they are stuck here. We included the following in support of their extension request:
Proof of medical insurance up to the date of requested extension date;
Copy of the return flight ticket cancelled by the airline;
Copy of the email sent by the airline in regards to the cancellation of the flight due to the pandemic;
Financial documents to prove we have enough liquid funds (cash) to support their extended stay; and
Reason for asking for extension - Flights cancelled due to coronavirus pandemic.
