I know I know. It is nuts how random this is and how different visa offices work. This pace of LVO -Ottawa has shook me by surprise, you know in grander plan of life :eek:. I just moved to BC this year from ON, and within a year now I have to move apartments, plan for my life to accommodate my...

Lol I would have assumed so too. Thanks for the enlightenment.

PPR request received, evening of Nov 7, 2018. I wonder how late these guys work ;) LVO-Ottawa, but was asked to submit to nearest VFS in India. Phew, right?!! This is happening. Can't believe the pace as well. It took me upwards of year and half to get my PR, and only 6 months for my mom...

I think we are on the similar timeline. Me too, today morning. @YULIA-2016 Please update mine too. Thanks much! Has anyone availed any pre-arrival services in this class - Family Class PGP sponsorship? Most are geared towards economic class newcomers. Just curious.

Thank you! Waiting for the final leg now, of Background check and PPR. Fingers crossed for you!

Possibly. I don't know what goes on in the calculation. $20K in 2018 standards is still better than $6k prior to April 2018 is what i am saying. Some might pass by.

If they calculate treatment to be with $20K/year, these would still be allowed. Only contagious diseases are grounds for refusing under public health issue. I think because the cap increased from $7k to $20K, many other diseases would not fall under "excessive demands".

Could be. But the change of reference to and definition of social services has changed since April 2018. I think that could have been key determiner as far as various forms of disability are concerned. Earlier on grounds of definition, a disability would have automatically been refused. This is...

In the past they have. One landmark case in 2016 was rejection of a York University Professor's son who had Down's syndrome, saying this would cause excessive demand on Canadians...

@YULIA-2016 I see. Thanks. I don't want to get my hopes up early, but my Mom's application on GCLey/myCIC says "medicals passed". Please update SS. Medicals passed updated Oct 31st, 2018. If it is true, it is the non-scariest Halloween ever :) My mom is completely visually impaired, needed...

Does it only say on myCIC account that Medicals passed or you receive a notification email saying so??

New Delhi Medical Office emailed me (I am the representative) about further tests to be done 3 days after the first medical by panel physician. Their emailed mentioned to get in touch with the PP where the detailed medical formation has been sent via emedical. I am also not sure that they...

Hi, you said your parents were in Phillippines, right? I think the closest visa office where the Medicals took place is in a position to send the "Furtherance letter" as it is called. Because the panel doctors would send e-medical to that specific office in that country is my understanding. I...

Update: New Delhi Visa office sent me an email last night saying they have requested further medical tests to the doctor for my mom. My folks will contact panel physician tomorrow about what those tests are. That is the update from my side. Tensed a bit. All the best to you! Note: My LVO was...

Huh? thanks for that. I guess I will just loose sleep for few more weeks then. (insert yawn emoji) :(

Thanks! Nope, not yet. She took it on Oct 15th. Wondering how long does it take to upload. I will give it 10 days?? e-cas and myCIC remains unchanged.

LoL..ok. Fair enough. :oops:

CIC has upfront medical examinations for certain types of application like Express Entry. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/medical-exams.html I think it is worth checking in with the doctor near you whether they will do...

Can you let me know if going through VFS is the way to go if your parents are in India but has LVO as Ottawa. And what documents are needed at that stage? I will have a similar issue in case of Decision Made, so would like to prep myself beforehand. Thanks!

Thanks for the update! I guess I will wait and see then.
