Thanks for the clarification D.

You've pulled details from the regulation book or website I guess. That's excellent!

Yeah, I get it. EDE or non-EDE are not so important when it comes to spouse and kids. CIC and panel doctors will decide that.

Have a nice day D!
Thanks Luder ..

I received Non-EDE and Worker on both Me and my spouse's Medical acknowledgement...

That's nice. So medical got over, yes? Next would be PCC? Please feel free to ask for help here.

All the best!

Firstly Congrats to all who got Visa stamped and all the best who are processing post ITA formalities.

For those who are in USA and looking for PCC from US , PFB

There are myths around that local police PCC or state department can give PCC . But the one which is valid is from FBI only.

1. Take finger prints on FBI approved FD form from authorized center. Fill in the online form available on FBI website .
2. Make bankers cheque, or CC paytme of $18 payable to Treasury of United states and send it to the given address on thier website.

It will take around 8-10 weeks when FBI will revert to you with PCC (sometimes more than that also). But we can not do anything in that.

Hope i will get it in 8-10 weeks. And thats why I am planning to do medical nearer to that time line only.

Br,
G
Hi G,

FYI. Just wanted to share my timeline, so that you may plan accordingly.
I applied for PCC to FBI on 02/11/16 and received it on 05/17/16. So, it took more than 3 months for me.

Regards,
Kishore

Hi Luder/Drajpoot,

Well, should i ask for extension now before they stamp the visa on my passport or should i wait to have the visa first then request for extension? This will entail additional cost to send passports abroad for visa extension again!!!! If i get visa till mid-July this will be fine for me.

Any advice guys...

Cheers,

Kushal
Extension does not applicable for this visa as it's just for entry, extension of any visa only applicable when you want to extend your stay in another country

All the very best Kushal!

Luder
Thanks Luder. Rajpoot informed that it can't be extended. Anyway, will have to prepare in the time i get.

Congratulations Zakir! Cian, SDKD & Others I have still not submitted my application- I am waiting for my PCC from Kuwait. Maybe by next week. I have 30days left now - getting a little stressed. Started to write my LOE so that everything is ready.

Good luck to everyone still waiting for docs to come through.

Thanks Kishore for the info. But one doubt from 2nd Feb 2016 to 17th May 2016 so almost 14 weeks... :eek:

Could you please let me know what steps you followed then, i mean did you submit the ITA with application number of FBI or something like that.. please help me as i think it will be also same case for me. When did you do your medical then ?

Hi Guys,

Whats up??? Hows everyone doing?

Where did you reach SDKD??? Funtell??? Terik??? How is it goin?

How about you TammyPatel??? You didnt add me to your gujju Whatsapp group bro you were talking about... Please add me as well... I private messaged you my mobile number on the forum. Please check your inbox and add me to it or whoever is the admin.

Am right now renewing my passport... Then PCC and after that I am ready to rock'n'roll...


Had a query too:
Here is the situation: I am planning to visit alone at first (Luder its a guilt free pass :p 8) ;D)... As discussed earlier, I want to buy as much time I can for my wife to come out der, so that I can get well settled and then she can follow.

As Drajppot suggested, its either within 1 year of visa stamp date/1 year of medicals date, you need to reach Canada. So what could be the best way? Should I take the medicals as late as possible or any other ideas? Show me a way to buy more time...

Luder, Drajpoot, SDKD any inputs?

Thanks in advance
Cian
Hi Cian,

I tried to pull out information about how to buy more time for landing. For Express entry through provincial nomination, I think there is no other method of medicals except upfront. I may be wrong, nevertheless, I cannot find any details whether or not EE candidates after ITA can take a medical test after CIC's instruction. Everywhere, every way I search, it comes to upfront medical only.

But you can buy more time within the current plan itself. Let's say you got ITA the 20th of last month. If so, you've used 20 days of your 90 days. What you can do is you can take your medical now or as closer as possible to the date you receive PCC. After PCC book medical appointment for your spouse just a week before your 90 days end period. In that case you should be ready with everything except your spouse's medical. After medical the doc gives your spouse's tracking sheet; attach it and send your file just 4 or 5 days before 90 days end period.

I'm not sure but I think if you do so you may be able to buy as close to 65 days time for your spouse for landing.

And, I don't know how you understand that you'll get 1 year time for landing after getting PR entry visa stamps? I don't think it is like that. Please confirm with other members. Irrespective of the date you get stamped your entry visa's expiry will be approximately 1 year from the date you took medical. Same rule applied for the applicant and the dependent. So, if you want to buy more time you may adjust the medical date within the current 90 days period only.

Man, there may be other possibilities, but I cannot find any. Please ask others, maybe they know.

CIC is strictly on your wife's side, they give you measly time to enjoy your guilt free pass!

All the best!

Cheers,

Luder

Hahaha :p.... These CIC guys are very mean... Thanks for the info... I was thinking on the same lines... But I didn't find any conclusive evidence...

That is why I am unsure on what step to take...

Hello Cian,

Going is getting tough gathering all required documents. Finally got all PCCs today! Now time to chase the bank for POF statements and gather other docs. Looking to submit by weekend.

How about you? I think you can delay the medicals but then, is it really worth it? I am also planning to go ahead of my family, but won't delay their medicals for that since the PR process would only take about 6months and I have 1yr for them to arrive. I will just plan for them to arrive on the last day or 2 days before :)

I noticed you mentioned a whatsapp group, can I be added to this?

Cheers,
funtell
