Because you're not from visa exempt country!! You need a one time PR visa stamped in your passport so that you can land. They'll stamp and return your passport then you can land.

I didn't have a chance to check. I will check tonight and I will share with you guys. Btw, when I receive my passport what status I will have? I mean will I be able work legally? Or I should still need to wait until the process is complete.

Counterfoil means visa stamp on passport. Counter foil required: "no" only for those who are from visa exempt country

Hi Ali.
I got medical request on 22 Aug after the upfront was done in July. GCMS notes dated 1 Oct mentions that Upfront medical examination results available for all clients. But under Assessment it mention Medical in progress and it does not show as medical received on my ECAS status.
Is it possible that it might be lost? What are my best options?
1. Do the medical exams again
2. Wait till it get updated.

Main notes of VO: No concern found based on documents submitted, applicant has acquired 1 year experience and employment requirements. For that reason I recommend passed. Applicant meets benchmark for work experience at this skill level A. RCMP screening- No reportable trace. Medicals: medicals initiated for all applicants awaiting results.

Thanks

Thanks Ali,
I've emailed it at least 4 times. DM doctor confirmed having uploaded the results . People having done upfront in Sept have the status updated while we did our in early Aug and still no update after 3 months. Am assuming CIC have not been able to retrace the result in their system.
However GCMS notes mentions upfront Medical examination results available for all clients and the assessment says medical in progress. What the difference between available and in progress? How long it take to get the medical passed coz there was not any medical issue with the results
Am totally confused! Anyone in the same situation.

Thanks

What i understand from this is your medical results have been received by CIC and the same has been forwarded to the concern department of CIC who is responsible for medical results checks. The best bet is to wait for further instructions.
