Applicant from PhD program after 5 Nov, 2011 connect here to get status

I believe that means the medical has been cleared.

No, completely wrong. "Medical results has been received" mean results has been received and analysis from medical immigration officer has been received by immigration officer. It might the applicant is clear and admissible or might be medically inadmissible.
I have received fairness letter after this line and have discussed this point with immigration officer from Ottawa.

Because, most of applicant are passed medically, so it was understood that this lines means cleared, while in fact NOT.

Right. If you know you're not sick and your doctor didn't tell you about anything anomalous, that line means you're done with the medical admissibility. If that line doesn't appear, though, it doesn't mean anything because sometimes they just don't update your ecas.

Normally if there is any problem in your medical, your doctor will contact you. So, it should be OK. Having said that you have the option to order GCMS notes or give a call to CIC call center.

Finally got the line "Medical results have been received", which is a second line.

Does this main medical exam has been cleared ?

thanks

WOW
Congrats and +1 for you ;D

Did CIC ask you for any extra document?
would you share your nationality?
What is your primary NOC ?

Few weeks ago, i was on this thread lamenting. Thank God with me, i finally got my PPR from CIC. It is a wonderful news.
My time line is as follows:

App Rced: Sept 29, 2014
CC Charged: Dec 13
PER: Jan 7 2015
MED & RPRF: March 30
Med Recvd by CIC: April 10
PPR: April 30.

For everyone waiting and anxious, relax all will be fine.
If you have made it to this stage, barring any major problem you should scale through.
Be positive.

How long does it take to return PPs. Hope it is not going to be another 1 month of waiting? With CIC, things are never quick. It is their rules.

I have a question (other seniors: your answer is also appreciated): When CIC sends the PPR email, do they give a deadline for submitting the passport? If so, is it possible to extend this deadline? I am concerned because I have applied for US visa to attend a conference in June and there is a chance that passport request from CIC will overlap with my Trip or US visa process.

Yes, they give you one month time to submit your passport. Also, you may request for extension if you are unable to submit it within the timeline providing the reasons to support your delay.

Hi guys

I have a question, not related to permanent residency, but i appreciate if you can help me.

I finished the requirements fo my phd degree, ii am not officially student now (but my study permit is still valid till January 2016). i have appled for my work permit just last week! Will take months to receive it!!!! Also no passport request yet ???
need to go to germany for a conference the end of summer.

There are three scenarios here!

1. Apply for my canadian visa using my study permit and then apply for Germany visa.
2. Wait for my work permit then apply for canadian visa and finally apply for German visa


3. If I receive my PPR, is it possible i apply for Germany visa right after i get my passport back? Or i should wait for PR card :-X

Which one you suggest?

How long does it take usually take to get visa from Germany embassy in Canada?

I don't know your immigration timeline yet so it's hard to give advise.

But if I were you I would apply for Germany Visa RIGHT NOW and wait and see when the PPR comes and decide.

I think it is not safe to wait for PR card then go on a trip. I have heard it may take unto 2 months for PR card to come after landing and CIC always makes mistakes with pr card.

This means you will have to apply for Canadian Visa no matter what. Or ideally you can come back to Canada from Germany and land at the same time.

Hope it helps.

I'm assuming for some reason you have a valid study permit but not a valid TRV. In that case, CIC says you should apply for a new visa only after you receive your new permit, and not simultaneously. (that makes sense, because people in CPC-Ottawa who will issue your new visa need to base their decision on an approval of your new permit which is to be made by another officer at CPC-Vegreville; so the latter should be finalized before the former can start, right?)

My recommendation is: wait for your new permit, then apply for a new TRV. If you get it in time, you can go to your conference.

German consulate will check if you have the right documents to return to Canada after your proposed length of stay in Europe. So if you don't have a valid visa in your passport they might get mad! you can e-mail them and ask, they're pretty fast in replying, but be sure not to confuse them with a long and detailed email!

And finally, if you get your immigrant visa soon enough, you can just delay your landing until after you come back from Germany. I don't know why on this website everyone is in such a RUSH to land the moment they get their visas, as if CIC might change their mind lol

Thanks for your question. Yes, the CIC has a deadline for submitting passport after you received your PPR email. I am not sure if one can request extension but i believe it is possible. Below is the information you will see in the letter.

"The requested information/documents must be received in our office within 30 days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application.

Final Note
The issuance of your visa(s) cannot be delayed so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) as soon as possible. An expiration date (dd/mm/yy) will be indicated on your visa and/or on your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR – IMM 5688), and you must obtain permanent residence on or before that date. The visas and CoPR cannot be extended. If you are not prepared to live permanently in Canada immediately after your permanent residence is granted, please consult the CIC website regarding your obligations to retain your status in Canada."

Hope this is helpful?

What is your primary NOC ?

Thanks.
No, right from the application date (Sept 29, 2014) up until now, CIC has never asked me for any additional documents. I think they were satisfied with all the documents submitted with my original application.
Nationality is Nigerian and like all the other applicants in the PhD stream, i believe we all fall under the NOC 4012 category; except i am mistaken.
