You schedule and complete a medical only AFTER you receive an ITA. You could TECHNICALLY do it before, but then you run the risk of not getting an ITA for a while and then the medical expiring. Also, some of the authorized doctors won't allow you to do the medical before you get an ITA and can show them evidence of such.
What kills me the most is the uncertainty and inability to plan things. I don't mind waiting a couple years if I know that it will take a couple years and then could plan my life around that. At least post ITA you know with more certainty that you will be moving in around 6 months, although of course, anything could happen at any time, including rejection that would throw you back to square one. So we have to keep being prepared for the unexpected, which means inability to make any plans beyond the very short term.Life keeps throwing challenges at us regardless of our situation, which happens to be immigration in our case. I'm personally quite impatient and keep thinking about something or the other. I feel, waiting period after ITA would be lot sweeter.
However, I'm also sure, all of us will remember this phase few years from now after having settled in Canada.
People usually graduate in summer months, so it has to be reflected here as well.
I completely agree with you. Biggest problem is uncertainty. One can never plan unless he receives ITA or pretty much sure of receiving one. After all, we are not getting any younger. I feel everybody here would be far more relaxed only if CIC would conduct draws in more systematic manner.
How can I agree with you more,
Once I accepted the fact that things were going to stay uncertain, it helped me view it as an adventure. Not really possible for those who have kids. But right now, we are expecting things to stay uncertain. Our first month or two in Toronto might be airbnb because we don't want to tie ourselves into a lease.
CIC has no obligation to conduct their business for our convenience. No use complaining.
And I thought its ok to be in pool from 2015, get an ITA and then getting rejection.
Agreed, accepting that things would stay uncertain is the right attitude at this point. It is also less stressful when I know that I likely won't be moving for at least 6 more months. I'm actually less stressed now after getting final word that my job offer fell through. It was more stressful waiting every day for several months for the go ahead to move to Toronto. I could not plan anything at all and was even nervous about scheduling IELTS exam and renewing my passport in case I had to move in between. And I was trying to settle a few things here on the assumption that I would be getting ready to move any day but not knowing when (like finding help for business matters that I will need right after I move but without the ability to give a definite timeline).
Did you get ITA and then rejection?? What were you rejected for? (You might have answered this before - are you the one who didn't have the right NOC code or PCC for a country you stayed in for under 6 months?)
I mentioned I wished and I'm aware of that fact very well.
Or abstinence according to you, because it seems everything in life is planned, right?That is what Canadian pr system teaches you, planning and patience !!
i am cec inland. I have 473 points i enter the pool yesterday
So true and so discouraging!
None of the above, it was a stupid mistake by the agent , he did not , rather we did not check for the birth certificate of the younger one.
