I finally got a medical request too for my parents. Does anyone know what they checked in the medicals? It seems like the medical checklist on the CIC page does not match what the clinics are saying they will check on their own checklist. A bit weird: should these not be aligned?

I did not know there was a medical check list online but they will send you a list of what they checked after (at least that's what happened in our case).

I also think it's age dependent because my dad got more test than my mom and he is significantly older than her.

Mom & dad - Medical Exam, Chest x-ray, HIV, Syphilis,Serum Creatinine, Vaccination


Dad only - Mini mental examination and Assessment of activities of daily living.

Hope that helps....

At the end they asked where we want to send PP (between Accra or Niarobi) we picked Niarobi but we were informed we had to go in person, so changed to Accra. However, we did not have to go in-person but we could not change back to Niarobi cause they warned that we MUST stick with the selected option.
- June 28th 2022 - Recieved both Jan and May GCMS notes; shows file was transferred to Mississauga - Accra - Montreal - Vancouver - London Ontario. File spent over 32 months between Mississauga, Accra and Montreal. Was transferred in May 2022 to Vancouver then London Ontario in May 2022 as well.

- July 22nd Recieved Email via GKey with visa information
- July 27th Received PP from Accra (Missed July 26th delivery)


** I used my email all through out this application because I know my mom does not check her emails (as evidenced with the VFS email). Her email only came into play when she emailed her PP to Accra and by then it was too late to update.

I am sooooo happy that I fail to properly express my joy.

Sorry in advance for any typo or grammatic error. I'm off to go drink zobo

Hello,
Could i ask you a question reg PGP sponsorship. I am sponsoring my mother under PGP . My dad passed away so my mother is the principal applicant. I received letter from CIC mentioning IMM 5406 is incomplete.
Since my dad passed away, do i need to add him as a dependent and include his details ( his siblings info)?
Very much appreciate if you coul help as I dont want to make any mistakes?
