QUERY: Proof of Medical Examination .. Previous Countries of Residence

Good day, I was hoping that any of you could help me in completing our application requirements.

My husband is in Canada under a PR visa. Now we (me and our son) will be sending an application under family spousal sponsorship. Here are my questions:

1. Me and my son already went for Upfront medical check, what will I attach on our application as proof of Medical Examination?
PS: I will still go back 6 days from now for my urinalysis because I was on my period when we went for the medical exam, will I need to wait for the results before sending my application forms to my husband in Canada?


2. In form IMM 0008, they are asking if I resided in a country other than Phils for more than 6 months. I stayed in Japan from May to mid-August, September to December, and then April. If I were to count, that would amount to more than 6 months but it was not consecutive. Should I still include it?

Thank you for your help. I am looking to send my application forms this week.

Hi.
After you complete your medical exams the clinic/hospital will give you an Emedical form that you need to send with your application and they will be the one to forward results to CPC/MVO. The clinic clerk from where I had my medical said it takes up to 2 weeks.

However I don't have a sure answer for your 2nd question. God bless.

Thanks I was told their system was under maintenance that time and that they will send me an information sheet through email when the system is up. I did not understand it when they said that, now I will just have to wait for that.

Follow up question: Will it be okay to submit the application already though I have not yet received all my medical exam results? I was planning to send our application form before the results of my urinalysis will be released since my urinalysis is still scheduled next week and our application forms are now complete (except for the proof of medical exam which I will be receiving on Monday). We were hoping to send our applications asap because my husband's employment proofs were obtained since July and we are afraid it might go outdated if our application package be sent late in September already

Hi all

I'm a may 2015 applicant and my VO is manila. I have a question about processing time after sending fully completed Appendix A. They don't ask me

anything else and the ECAS changed to IP right after the day i sent Appendix A. It's been only for 3weeks so far

I'm wondering is it close to the end ? if anyone has been through this any comments will be very helpful!

many thanks in advance!

Yes, that's fine. They'll send an you an e-mail requesting for Medicals soon after you get an e-mail stating your husband has been approved as a sponsor. You can send the certification of up front medical then.

Hey Everyone,

I have a question to those who landed in Canada, did you require to get a certificate of vaccination? My wife been hearing that a certificate of vaccination is required to enter Canada.

 

[floomy]

I just landed few weeks ago. but cic did not ask me to bring any medical docs.
and I have not heard of it .

Correct me If I am wrong.

FYI:
if you call CIC, they would email you a list what you should bring to a boarder or to land at local office.

Yes, that should be fine. I believe you are now under "PPR" status, as my wife received the exact same mail, except it asked for her police clearance rather than her medicals.

Passport requests do not always ask for physical passports, as some countries are visa exempt. My wife is Japanese, so all that was requested for in regards to her passport was the completed Appendix A.

RE: PROOF OF COMMUNICATION

Happy New Year!

I received an e-mail from immigration requesting me to send proofs of communication between me and my spouse to documenting the beginning, development and current status of our relationship. My problem is that we used prepaid sim cards before and so I do not have a copy of our text messages. There are also no love letters because, well my husband is sort of not that kind. ;D
Any advice?

Hello so you did not submit any of those when you submitted your application? What about Skype chats, Facebook chats or any other means of communication that you used before I think they will accept it.

Hi to All!

i just want to know how long does the process take for someone i sponsored to get the visa. say, spouse and dependent child.

just want to know the fastest and the longest processing time.

 

[truesmile]

The absolute fastest out of Manila I'd say is 8 to 8 and a half months. HOWEVER, that is without a dependent child. The dependent child from what I've seen here causes delays where obtaining the signature of the "other" biological parent is involved.
