Absolutely, but you know this changing of criterias every damn month makes the blood boil. Worked too hard for it.

I don't really give a damn about OINP anymore, this is my second chance missed this year with them. One with HCP and the latter with the French draw. They can't seem to make up their freaking minds of what to do next.
I understand your current frustrations but - One day soon, after you get your FSW ITA, and finally get approval to live ANYWHERE in Canada, you will be grateful OINP overlooked you.

Ontario is not altogether a happy place to live anymore :(.

Can't help but wonder if this is how brand Canada in its entirety works or is it just ircc that is this dysfunctional?? Can those inside Canada already give some insight on this? Is everything broken as it seems?

Oh dear, I'm 2,5 months post-remed, sitting here in complete silence also. You're not alone believe me. My VO doesn't even bother replying to my webforms, while even duplicates sent to Ottawa CPC do trigger generic replies.
I'm like, okay, I can wait another couple of years, right?
You know what's funny/messed up? Officer deciding to look at our applications in July and seeing that our remeds are now 6 months old, with less than 6 months left...then asking for another remed and abandoning your application for new FSW applications to meet his 6 month processing time KPI. What a joke...screw ircc honestly.

Don't know why we're the chosen ones.

It's been almost 8 weeks since I did the re-medicals and submitted the ADR. Radio silence except for copy-paste responses to the webforms that I sent. Security still hasn't started as of today and no response yet to the Mandamus notice either (almost 2 weeks now).

Even my work permit application has gone past the 8 week advertised processing time with no response so far.

If only I'd known 2 years ago....
Sorry you're in similar circumstances guys @Drackler kler @nadiao @esc....unlucky ones I guess. @stirredo @Hokage @OneStepAtATime @dankboi have you champs gotten your good news yet..

Going for remedical by people whose medical just expired will delay the processing of all applications. I think we should help each other in this mess. Sending lots of web forms and additional documents without being asked will only add to this mess.
Nope, I disagree. We have seen this work for quite a few people recently. Upfront medicals triggered an officer to assess their application which led to ADR requests (if necessary) and eventual approval.

I don't quite understand what you mean by "we should help each other in this mess"?

Does anyone know how long is it taking for medicals to pass on there own? I did my upfronts around 50 days back and they have requested new medicals. Maybe my medical will get approved in the background and I wont have to get it interlinked?
Did you send the e-medical sheet you got via webform? Did you confirm with your clinic that they sent it to IRCC and on which date? You can also request your results/report from the clinic (might need to pay for it) and send those to IRCC yourself.

Thanks for the cheer up, but Ottawa is my dream destination.

I really like the idea to live there and having Quebec one bridge away for a weekend. Apparently, an eternal wait is ahead :confused:

yes I sent the hospital my medical forms sent by IRCC but they still declined. They sent it exactly a week after. I have already picked up my results from the clininic. Do you think sending the results to IRCC will help?

like any other country, it truly is broken, but its not unexpected, even if you're considering the level of development of a country like Canada. you'll find out more when you come here. my wife had tons of issues with her name when obtaining her SIN and health insurance card too, because, can you believe it, they have officers HAND TYPING names into the system instead of just registering what you enter when you apply for the SIN and health insurance card.

I have received ADR request and would really appreciate some advice. Following is the request:

1)A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background Declaration form (IMM 5669) bearing an original signature. Please note that you must provide details since the age of 18 or the past 10 years. Be sure to not leave any gaps. If a section does not apply to you, please enter "none" as per the instructions provided on the form.
2)Police Certificate: From each country/state where the residence period has been

Now my question for Schedule A is when filling it out it says not to leave any gaps. In the questionnaire I provided details for addresses and personal history like the following example:
Some places I added info like 2021-01 to 2020-06 and then 2021-06 to 2020-12
and some places like 2020-01 to 2020-06 Activity/ Address A and then 2020-07 to 2020-12 Activity/Address B ( 1 activity finished end of the month and next started the following months. Would this be considered a gap?

for police certificate I wanted to know if they are asking PCC for only Pakistan or Canada as well? some background: I have lived in canada for about 6 years before ITA and since moved to Pakistan before receiving ITA. They never asked for PCC for Canada before. Now are they asking for it now or am I reading too much between the lines?

Also last PCC was submitted at ITA in July 2020. Why are they asking for a new one? does it mean something wrong with old PCC or it just expired (there was no expiry on PCC)

I apologize for the long post. Your inputs would mean a lot

Changing criteria is definitely frustrating. You get less affected than 470s but that’s because you worked a ton for it. Not because they didn’t mess up.

1. For schedule A: The way I did mine was (using your example) : 2020-01 to 2020-06 Activity/ Address A and then 2020-06 to 2020-12 Activity/Address B. This is because I started a different activity in the same month though. If for you you started a new activity the following month, then I think it's ok to have it as you do now. I also have activities that overlapped (like studying and working) and that was fine to use overlapping dates.

2. PCC: No you don't need a PCC for Canada. They usually check with RCMP directly. Check this link:
