****August 2019 - Inland Spousal PR + OWP****
- Thread starter endian
- Start date
Hi All Me and my fiance applied for common law sponsorship visa in July 30th 2019 from Calgary, Alberta. AOR September 10th OWP received October 10th Medical request November 23rd Medical done December 10th. Just wandering if anybody knows how to upload the document from the doctor? They said they will send the results to immigration but i can upload it on my account so they can see I went to do my medical today. Thank you in advance and good luck to you all!!!
She can do the medicals without the xray the panel physician will send the results with a note to the IRCC about the XRAY (which will be done later). If she decides to do the Xray, its normally not bad from at 2nd trimester (your wife is on 3rd); The panel physician will advice you more about this, and during the xray they normally put a double or triple shield to protect the baby. Its also a good idea to talk to her own doctor before going (the one that you have been seeing during the pregnancy).My Wife got her medical request December 7
Our Baby is due on 28 th of December.
How are we complying with the 30 days?
I'm in Edmonton, Alberta. It was much much cheaper. About Alberta health, it does not cover the cost of immigration medical exams
It is to be sent in by the panel doctor. If they have e services, you can expect to see medical passed soon. If they don't it will take time.
Kinda ticked off now
Apparently they added in biometrics as a requirement for applications WITHIN Canada, me and my partner were late to doing open work permit and now have to pay the $85 additional for this on top of the $100+155 for the OWP, serves me right I guess from delaying but also disappointing we have to pay more now. This was as of Dec 3, 2019 ( last week)

I think it depends on country? When I clicked on "find out of you need biometrics" and selected USA for passport code, it said not required.
Unfortunate timing - but I knew stuff like this would happen, making all the more paranoid to include an extra $100 or $200 in the payment. Worth it to avoid another insufficient funds letter, if they refund you in the end.
Does anyone know if we will need to give biometrics? We applied in August and didn't include the biometrics fee as it was not necessary to give biometrics in August. Now that this has changed as of Dec 3, I wonder if we will experience a delay due to missing fees. There's no information on CIC's website what happens to ongoing applications that reclassify as biometrics-needed due to the new Dec 3 rule.
EDIT: Talked to CIC. The agent said that all applications received before Dec 3 are still exempt from biometrics.

It's so obscenely expensive and so much work... he went today, got the medical exam done, $400. We also had to bring four photographs because the doctor here is not on the eMedical system. Then they sent him to the hospital for x-rays and bloodwork and gave him an invoice (I think for $470). And the doctor at the hospital there wanted $20 in cash to fill out some paperwork on top of that. Then he had to wait for the x-rays to develop, and bring those back to the clinic the doctor is at. Thank goodness we have a car, I can't imagine someone having to do all that on public transit! Unreal, IRCC should enforce caps on the cost of these exams. Almost $1000 for everything.T
hats what we got told for grande prairie as well
so wrong
Yes its so not right.
And my Wife has 2 Children, I assume they charge the same for them as well
