Is there possibility to approve VISA without asking for medicals? I have applied for spouse visa.

Thank you
 
No. A valid medical is an absolute requirement of the Regulations, you cannot be issued a visa without one.

Spouses are excessive medical demand exempt, so if you have a condition that requires special care, as a spousal applicant it will not render you inadmissible.
 
What would be the time frame for VISA getting rejected? I have applied on July 5th and on 19th which is the tenth working day I have received status as Processed VISA application been despatched. Is this mean the VISA got rejected? I have also not been asked to do my medical test.

You will learn patience at the school of CIC. 10 days, you ain't seen nothing yet. :D
 
Sorry, I'm not clear. We are newly married and wish to be with her. I read that the VISA processing time is 20 working days however I got a response on the tenth day. Is that mean it got rejected. I'm really worried so thought to have a knowledge share before i receive the letter in hand so that i can have myself prepared for it.

It would be really helpful if you could help me with this.
 
What Visa are you applying for? 20 days seems unbelievably quick unless it is a standard tourist Visa.
 
It is temporary resident with work permit. I have heard from friends that if it is a rejection they will not hold our passports and will send a letter withing five working days.. IS this a true information?
 
Hi jravi,

The visa you are talking about is a visitor visa (temporary resident). You are posting in a forum for PERMANENT visas (to live in Canada forever) as a spouse. These are two completely different applications. Where as a visitor visa may take a couple weeks to process (or less or more), these family class sponsorship (Permanent Resident) visas can take months to years to process. That is why you were confusing people with your questions. Try posting in the Visitor Visa section under "immigration topics".

The visitor (TEMPORARY visa) you applied for does not give you permission to live in Canada.. only to live there. The fact that you are recently married may result in a rejection because a visitor TEMPORARY visa requires that you prove that you will leave Canada when your visa expires (usually 6 months, possibly less). If you have a spouse in Canada, your ties to your home country must be very strong to convince them that you would leave your spouse to return to your own country once your visa is expired. You cannot work while on this visa, so your working visa will be rejected. Since you also applied with a working visa, you have shown the visa officer that you intend to stay in Canada (to work, live) and they probably rejected both of your visas. If for some reason they do issue a visitor visa, you could apply for a permanent visa from within Canada and keep extending your visitor status... but I doubt you will be admitted as a visitor based on what you have said.

Your passport will be returned to you even if your application is rejected (they only keep fraudulant documents).

You should prepare to file a PERMANENT family class sponsorship application with your Canadian spouse. You will have to fill out many more forms that you did with your first application, prove to them your relationship is real (photos, records of communication, etc), you will have to prove your marrage (certificate), etc. If approved, you would eventually become a PR in Canada and be able to live there with your spouse. However, this process can take a very long time (some places years) depending on your visa office.

Good luck.
 
Thanks MissDominica. Let me wait and see the reason for rejection.

Friends sorry for confusing by posting in wrong forum.
 
Yes, do let us know what happened and we can help you along the way with your Permanent application.

No need to apologise - this whole process is a long and confusing one.. Best of luck
