All panel physicians do upfront Medicals
All you need is your UCI number and passport.
Medicals is Medicals , whether upfront or after it’s requested it’s same thing
It just saves the time of waiting between when it requested untill you get it done
My home country only has two approved panel physicians
So appointments are not easy to get .
I choosed upfront to avoid delays of waiting for a slot after it’s requested

Hi. When you do upfront medical, do you submit through webform or you submit after it is requested?

On form IMM0008 are we meant to select Refugee PR too? Or family class? What I googled said Refugee PR is for those just applying for refugee protection.

I already received my final decision for my application inside Canada. I have dependant outside Canada.

How to calculate the processing time for our dependant outside Canada. Is it day we filed our application and submitted to IRCC inside Canada or the day we passed eligibility and our dependants file was transferred to VO outside Canada ?

I filled my application on November 2023 with my dependant outside Canada, I received my final decision this week. On February 2025 the CPC-Mississauga transferred my dependant’s file to VO outside Canada. When is the processing starts ? The time we filed our application or the day it was transferred to VO ?

We have no news from February 2025 (other than requested updated forms) no medical no pre-arrival yet for my dependant.

Given the 1 time policy the time for dependents to get PR is likely to increase quite a bit because a large volume of dependents will enter processing at the same time but the quota hasn’t increased for dependents.

This is false. Thank you.

 

[canuck78]

This is false. Thank you.

There seems to be conflicting information that the dependents outside of Canada will be counted under the 130k quota. I had read they weren’t but it actually seems quite unclear whether they are or aren’t. The justification for the program was the people were already in Canada.
