Hello guyz,

I am an august 2013 applicant. I have big problem coming up. My company is going to shutdown completely. meanwhile if CIC ask me to send an updated reference letter from my employer than what should I do ? Should I get an updated reference letter from my company now ? Because they told me later on nobody will be present to sign my letter and should my letter signed by the same person who signed my previous letter or different person can sign too ? What should I do ? Your help will be really appreciated.

Thank you
Hey I am in similar boat to you. my company closed down back in Sept and I'm still waiting on LMO from new company so I'm unemployed. this doesn't matter to cic as long as you met they one year of working required at time of application.I emailed cic told them the situation they emailed back pretty quick and said my job info was updated.I would suggest emailing asap as our applications will be being processed pretty soon.

contact details have changed recently you can look them up here >> cectoolkit.weebly .com/3/post/2014/01/how-do-i-contact-citizenship-and-immigration-canada-regarding-my-cec-application.html

Folks,
When I submitted my application in August, I did not put my email (I know, careless eh). I just realized and sent email to CEC to update my email.

If they can't sent MR due to absence of email, do they send by mail?

Anyone had any experience?

Thanks

Yes, if there's no valid email address in your application they will mail the MR to your mailing address.

Another question,

Can some applicants be exempted from MRs? Or does everyone need do it?

The reason I ask is what if you have been in Canada for a long time as a student / worker. Or that doesn't even matter, I am guessing.

Thanks

Every applicant has to undergo medical examinations. However, previous ( still valid ) medical test results from other cic applications
are accepted in some cases.

You need to be patient. Patience is the key! Aug applicants will hear soon, might be in 2 weeks time.

There is a separate post discussing upfront medical, you can find info there.

they are doing July medicals at the moment,took them less than two weeks to get through all of june so im guessing (and hoping)medical requests will all be out before the end of march.

A few January 2103 applications are still waiting for approval but a few June applicants have been approved.Im hoping we start to see the first august applicants get approved in Mid April ( that my be a bit ambitious) but for some could be as late as October.

Thats just my opinion going off what others are saying
