hey!

Today my MP informed me that the embassy just started with the initial review for my case. Not too sure what they have been doing for the past 8 month. Also, she told me that the embassy sent me an email earlier this morning giving me updates, but I nor my wife have received any thing. did this happen to any of you...is it possible that they messed up in writing the email address or has been captured incorectly.


gem: it is david Mcguintys office....he is ur MP right??
ya3ni that's it almost done? what does final review mean? does it mean you're done with background check??

Dear "mazloom";
Please be advised that what "sohrab919" has written is right. The Medical Examinations and/or Police Clearances can only be requested by CIC in Canada or one of its Visa Offices worldwide.

I see you guys talk only about the expiration on medical forms, but forget talking about it on POLICE CLEARANCES, which they have validity, too!
Thank you!

No, they haven't yet, but I'm going to have my wife prepare a new Police Clearance, which takes two weeks to get ready, in advance. However, we are not going to send them any updated information til they ask us to do so.

Guys,
My address has been changed (I am sponsoring my wife). I am still residing in Montreal.

Do you think it's necessary to inform the embassy in Damascus about the address change. I mean are they supposed to send me anything?

If I am not supposed to receive anything I prefer not to contact them. and not to add any further modification in our profile.

what do you think?

I wish it is in the final stage....I dont think that it will be finalized before December. Her medical exams will expire in November and i will ask her to do them before 5 days hahaha....

I am just worried that they do have wrong email address, sine he lady mentioned that the embassy already sent out an email. do you guys think CIC knows?

BTW, inorder to make things easier, I bought my wife BlackBerry and now we are using bbm non stop.
it is better than nothing, right?

It's easy to change your address. Either call CIC or go to https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do?app=coa and log in with you own client ID number and name to change your address.

I think you should change your address on CIC Website and inform the embassy in Damascus, because when your wife arrives in Canada, through a Port of Entry (POE), she must provide the immigration officer, who will verify her documentation and grant her permanent residency, with her address in Canada along with the postal code.
