Hi folks, My Mom (who lives in India) finally received her passport request yesterday. Application sent: Jan 1st week 2014. Sponsorship approval: sometime in Spring 2016. PCC, medical: July 2016. Request for my Dad's death certificate: Sep 19 2016, sent immediately. Passport request: 27-Sep...

Thank you RoyalNS. Based on the information you provided here, I was able to link my Mom's sponsorship application. It says "Medicals passed", I wonder how much more time from now.

Does anybody know what kind of medical conditions can lead to inadmissibility? My Mom is going for medicals next week. She has arthritis and is taking medication for depression. I was wondering if I have a reason to worry.

Hi, the only correspondence I received was by email saying that I am eligible as a sponsor. After that my Mom received this. Sorry I don't know what exactly GCMS notes are.

Hi folks, My mother's application has taken a step forward. Today she received at her email address request for a police clearance certificate and a request for medicals. Application date: 8-Jan-2014.

I did my test today and got the oath letter immediately afterwards. Both my wife and I were done with the interview in 5 minutes. The officer casually glanced through our passport stamps. Guess there was not much concern on our application, we had full 4 years of basic residence with only about...

My Mom has a multiple entry visitor's visa to Canada. She visited us last year from June-November. She would like to visit us again this year from March to September. I am thinking if CBSA would consider that as too frequent? Is there a thumb rule on how often can a visitor enter Canada?
