I broke my one month rule and decided to check Ecas, seeing as many people had done so (swayed by the crowd).

Thankfully it has been updated to;

'Medicals have been received'


Best wishes to everyone,
The long wait and associated anxiety can be excruciating!

Made a short landing in Toronto on Tuesday evening and located the house I had arranged to stay in. Found the place (rate is between 30-50 dollars/night for different rooms) while exploring my accomodation options using kijiji.ca website. The room I chose (40 dollars/night) serves my purpose cos it has its own bathroom and toilet, a telephone, wireless internet and an old skool TV.
Went out yesterday and obtained my SIN number, opened a bank account, spent time with someone who went through my resume and taught me how to write my CV the Canadian way. Went round town a bit just to have a feel of the place. So far so good I guess I've addressed the basic things that need to be addressed. Wishing everyone waiting for news and those already with their visa's only the best as you look forward to a new beginning in Canada.

Bman,
Congrats. I am happy to hear of your smooth landing.
Try and settle down fast and begin job hunting
I have dropped our PPs yesterday and hope to collect them in 2 weeks time.
By God's grace, we are planning our move 1st or 2nd week in December.
Which airline did you use? I need to buy tickets for 5 people.
Best wishes my friend.
 
Friends,
I finally dropped our PPs yesterday.
I will pick them up (by God's grace with PR visas) in two weeks time.
It took about 5 minutes to dropped them.
I am grateful for your assistance and advise for the past one year.
I pray God to favour you in your processing.

Thank you! thank you!! thank you!!!
 
Mitali,

One of my friend who is a diabetic, has applied for PR and is waiting for the medical requests is concerned that when he receives the medical request, after medicals he will be declared unfit. Do you think Diabetes is a cause for rejection on medical grounds.

Congrats..Also send your last two pay stubs and a Letter from employer..you can send it via online .
 
Though it has been addressed to Mitali to answer, I thought I would throw in some insights.

Any pre-existing condition which is a threat to "Canada", is usually a reason for rejection. For example, a person with TB or HIV.

Diabetes is curable (next to completely), and anyone with diabetes dependant on Insulin is completely safe.

I have known a freind with similar condition (diabetes dep.on insulin) and he never had problems in moving to Canada.
He is now happily settled there.

Regards,
Kummy

Waw that's great news, Congrats brother and all the best in the coming challenges, I just have one question, how long it takes from the time the line: Medical Results Have been received to the PPR, PLEASE ADVICE ME BROTHER, I just have received this line today in my E-CAS.
All the best brother.....

My medicals line appeared on 10 Oct . After that the RPRF/Indian PCC reached them on 19 Oct and then the FBI PCC reached 25 Oct.
The PPR finally came on 3 Nov. Hope that helps
