I didn't apply yet, if everything goes well, should apply by the beginning of july. We wanted him to visit in August but well, I don't know how long it takes before they send a notice to send either police record or medical checks. Does it takes several months or it's the first thing that come? We don't want him to get here and have to go back 2 weeks later..
Or is there anyway he could do it before without their notice? I read that now with the new process you have to wait until they tell you to do so..

No he needs the IMM 1017 (which is the form they send for medical request) in order to be able to complete it.

Usually it's sent in a few months. But there are panel physicians in virtually every country. So if you are applying Outland, he could do the medical outside.

I am curious: why Outland? The time now is identical for either...and inland he stays in Canada until processing is finished. And he can work after a couple months...

guys do you have any idea what are the question on Landing interview? how long it will take? me and my sponsor will have the interview? thank you!
As @sylvain1 said, pretty simple questions. They also ask if you've been denied entry anywhere.

The questions are variable, and are only a final verification if your case details are what they found out. Not supposed to be a test :).

My wife started laughing when they started asking. I had already told her what they'd ask, and when they started asking the same, it made her laugh..

Are you certain you can't get a passport without the old one?

You can call CIC to explain that CBSA has your old passport, which is required to get a new one. 888-242-2100.

Otherwise, you may have to write a letter...

I'm so worried right now, i noticed my work history i made a typo error with the year. It supposed to be 2016, i encoded 2014, so there is a 2 yrs gap. Do i need to just wait until the cic found out and explained that it is a type error? Anybody experienced this but doesnt caused any conflict? Please help what should i do? Do i need to let them know before the officer notice it?

If you show a letter from CIC, they should. You can also contact an MP to get help with that.

Just redo the form and submit by IRCC webform. Explain that you noticed an error.

Just note it in your employment history that you were on maternity leave. Obviously it's no real issue.

Submitting an updated form is common...
