Need some assistance with the medical futherance

so the hospital specialist clinic called me 1.5 weeks ago and asked if I have Ohip, I said yes and then they got confused and told they will call me back in a week, left a voicemail etc yesterday still no call back for an appointment.

my condition doesn’t need any yearly checkup, so no strain on the healthcare ‍.

so now if 60 days pass or so, should I raise an IRCc web form etc? And what other tips can Iget?

I had my appointment today. It took less than 5 mins for me. Staff was welcoming and the centre was pretty empty. There were only 4-5 people in total when I visited. I went with BIL, appointment letter and passport.

Let me know if you have any specific question.

Thanks man, really appreciate it!

hey guys.....i was able to successfully submit the web form for biometrics today in India. They did not confirm me the date and time but got an acknowledgement that I will be informed soon about the slot. However, me and my wife are supposed to schedule for biometrics but they do not accept 2 applicants for the same Express Entry application number. Will the second applicant will be allowed to accompany the main applicant?? need guidance over this.....thanks in advance....

Need advice!
1. Country of origin - Ukraine
2. Lived in Poland for 1 year while studying (so was my country of residence) and have a bunch of stamps as I was going back home every month to visit
3. Currently leaving in Canada (current country of residence) and went home twice so far to visit

so under my travel history, I don’t have to mention travels between country of origin (Ukraine) and country of residence- BUT!! Do they mean only current country of residence (Canada) or it includes previous country of residence as well (Poland)?
Basically, do I need to mention all of my 20 stamps between Ukraine and Poland while I was a student there (as Poland used to be my country of residence)

please help!!! Thanks!

You booked an appointment at which location?

Really depends on when Canada ends its lockdowns. Currently I think there is a lot of people go their application all processed but still not granted COPR because IRCC's reasoning is if they issue COPR and people can't enter they will need to renew COPR anyways. Plus they stated in January that FSW is being processed in limited capacity. That being said. There is not many FSW applications since Dec since there was no FSW draws until now. But in my opinion the boarder policy and lockdowns really play the biggest role here in terms of FSW processing timeline.

Average processing time in 2019 was 9 months and thats before the lockdowns.

9 months is not the average, but the time it took to process 80% of applications in 2019. From my understanding, processing time is very individual, depending on your location, if you have dependents, how good are your documents, etc...
Nice point about "no FSW draws until now", didn't think about it, it gives me hope that once the traveling is restarting, our applications may be processed pretty fast.
