Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[indcan21]

Hi Guys

My parents submitted Medicals, PCC and Biometrics all in early February. My mom received a request for additional medical tests on Feb 14.

She did went for the additional tests and they said the report takes almost 8 weeks to get generated as sputum test need that much time for test. But The email asking for the additional test said they have to be done by March 14.(30days from the time the email was sent).

"You have 30 days from the date of this letter to make an appointment to comply with this request."

I am confused now, should I send a webform informing the status or Just wait as the IME number might have the details associated. It says make an appointment to comply with the request but never mentioned they should receive the results with in 30days. I am sure they know the medical test(sputum test) they have asked for require 8-10 weeks for analysis.

Can someone please help with my understanding here? or tell me if its a good idea to send out a webform with these details.?


Also after submitting all the documents listed on the GCKey portal, the status still says "Your action is required", does that mean, they haven't seen my additional docs yet?
Deadline was Feb 24, which is passed and I have uploaded all the documents on Feb 22. someone please clarify.

Hi, when can I submit the PCC? Is it after getting sponsor approval letter or shall I wait until IRCC asks me to submit it?
It would be really helpful if someone can guide me.
thanks

You can submit upfront anytime but remember that PCC is valid for 6 months in most countries. I did upfront medical after sponsor approval.

Yes Uploaded through GC key under applican't name for both parents but name your file with seperate name. For example father's name xxxxxx pcc and upload another pcc as your mom's name xxxx pcc.
That's I did.

When it's accepted you will see under Review of additional documents status it will change to "Not applicable
See my timeline in signature.

Thank you . Upload was with two different file names. and Review of additional documents status is "Not applicable" at present but dont know since when it is like this. Hoping everything is alright. Upload on January 19 since then no communication so worried when Vancouver office will act.

[Be_rings]

Was your file transferred to Montreal office? If so, when? I'm still waiting since Nov 2022

My file was transferred to Montreal since September 27th 2022. Nothing since then

Thanks for your response. Medical check is completed already. do I have to create a webform to inform the same? or it doesn't matter?

Hi I am in a similar situation. My mom (co-applicant) has to clear out TB suspicion, her medicals completed but not sure how long the wait will be from here on. I have never heard of IRCC procedural fairness letter and Medical Surveillance letter? What are those and what's IOM?

Hi Raj
As long as your mother did medical test with in 30 of request you don't need to worry about the result and until officer doesn't review it you won't see medical passed date.
For safe side if you want to send web form you can do that. Send medical receipt. You really don't need to send it but if you want.

Thank you @Heli darji

I agree. It looks like the Mississauga office stopped processing the application received after Dec 1st. I am in the same boat. I see a few more like us.

Hi Bimpsy, my parents are also submitting from Nigeria and received Passport request Match 9, 2023. Please do you know if they need to go to the VFA office to submit or send by mail via DHL?

Also the VFA site is a bit confusing as I wanted to book the passport submission appointment but it appears it may be only walk in.

Do you have any info on how this is done? I didn't submitted my own application in Nigeria and don't know the process.

IOM is one of the approved panel physicians that conducts medicals in my country of origin. IRCC gave us 30 days with the procedural fairness letter to submit the updated medical report as they had not received it from the Panel physician, so I followed up with IOM and asked them for the IME copy which I attached in the GC Key placeholder they created for us. Medical surveillance letter is a form the applicant with TB test would take along while landing and is required to take TB test in Canada within 30 days of arriving in Canada
