hello everyone! I am one of the 2019 applicants now fill out application. I was wondering if you could be so kind to advice me with my current situation and let me know if my action makes sense for such. Your advice is much appreciated. Thank you very much.


Schedule A – Background/Declaration (IMM 5669)
Question 6:
Provide the details of your personal history since the age of 18, or the past 10 years, whichever is most recent.

Does anyone have the same situation as me? For the past 10 years, my parents made several trips outside of their country and each trip was less thsn 6 months, so instead of putting all of these trips in the form, I am including an additional page with the excerpt of Question 6, providing all travelling destination, duraction (all were less than 6 months), they have made over 60 trips past 10 years to 25 countries, if I am including all these, it would like crazy. Any advice? Thanks
I would definitely just do as your doing. When we ran out of room we just attached a word document with the additional info.

Friends I need help.
My parents did their medical examinations last week .Today I received email from immigration that further tests are required for my father and he needs to contact the physician for details.
They are very worried back home.
Has anyone been in this situation before?
What happens to the application? I am also tensed. Please let me know.
Sometimes they need additional information to finalize medical results. It is common and don’t worry about it. Have them go to the panel physician and do the tests asap. Without knowing what is required and why, it is difficult to know the exact impact on the application.

don't worry, they ask to do more tests / good only for dad, looks like mom is fine/
so contact your doctor and get directions what to do.
My parents did it at local hospital and I translated everything and sent back to doctor

Hello, I'm filling out 2019 application. If anyone here has the same experience and can give me any advise even personal opinion about my situation please I would very much appreciate it! I only want to sponsor my mom with my 18 y/o sister. My dad abandoned us 15 years ago, moved to a different country and now has a new wife. Mom and dad are not divorced yet. My question is do i still have to count my dad as a dependant? If i count him my income will be insufficient for 2016. Is there any way to exclude him from the count? I’m not planning to sponsor him now or in the future. Is it okay if I don't put him in the dependant section of the forms? Would a letter explaining the situation be enough to satisfy the immigration officer? For my mom’s marital status, should I put Legally Separated? But I’m worried because they don’t have court documents to support that. I'm so worried it might get rejected if he's not included in family size. I'm so stressed! Please help. :(

Hi @YULIA-2016,

My parents' medical reports were uploaded on 9th April 2019. My mother's report has cleared RMO Ottawa. My dad's appears pending still - no email or mail yet received for furtherance or additional information. I spoke with an agent last week who confirmed she can see that my dad has completed initial medicals and no action is required at this point. Most people seem to get either furtherance or medicals passed in about 10-15 days. Have you seen any cases that are kind of stuck like this?

That is standard lines they reply when I inquired Hong Kong Office early this year. No option but to wait. I know it is hard.

don't worry, if he confirmed all good just check My CIC or E-case, I was waiting result around 3 weeks
