Folks, I have some good news, I just heard from the lawyer that they have received my file number and request for medicals. My timeline to date is below.

I have two quick questions:

(1) Any recommendation for doctors in the Washington,DC / Virginia / Maryland area? Any good/bad expereinces?
(2) What should I be careful with during the medical exam? Any watchouts in what I say/tell the doctor?

Please let me know your guidance.

I did my medicals at the Reston Hospital. They took more than 2 weeks to send my results. Also, I had a followup tests and when I asked them if they have sent it. After calling many times I realized that they had never sent it. You will have to be ready to keep calling and do follow ups.

1) You've got to check the current DMP list and call for rates. You'd be surprised with the range. I traveled from NC to NJ to save a few hundred $. Check this post from a year ago.

2) I did not hide anything from the Dr, don't think it matters imo.

Hey Congrats on getting Medical request!
I would like to know that .. as your details say you didnt send the PCCs with your application to CIC.
did they ask for PCC along with the medicals?.. or you had already sent PCCs somewhere back in the past as Supplement to your initial application?

I have not heard from anyone who completed the medicals round JAN/Feb and still waiting for PPR? Is that just me who is still hanging around? :(

Please share your timelines to make this desperate journey a fun time while sharing our experiences.

Hi all,
I have submitted my application to CIC and waiting for AOR/Meds. My wife's passport is expiring in 4 to 5 months. I recollect we had to send copy of passports to CIC -is there anything I need to do after getting fresh passport upon renewal?
Thanks.

Hi Manny:

We have a similar situation. We plan to send copies of the new passport once we receive our AOR.

Cheers,
