Spousal Sponsorship with Criminal Rehabilitation

Did your husband call them? Because they can also provide some information over the phone.

I actually went to the MP yesterday regarding PR and CR and CDCP (Canada Dental Care Plan). Waiting for a call back. I applied for the CDCP and was not approved because my husband does not file taxes in Canada. I meet all the requirements otherwise. I don’t think it is fair to deny me access to a program that I need just because my husband is not a Canadian/PR/Refugee etc.

Does your husband need to retake the Medical Exam since it has been over a year since it was last completed?

The PR GCMS notes stated that the only barrier right now is the fact that my husband is inadmissible due to criminality. I assume that if the CR application is approved then he will get a request to redo the medical. I think they only extend the medical expiry date for those that are inland. (The CR GCMS notes states that the due date for the criminality is May 7, 2026, not that that means anything but gives me hope that the decision is near.)

VO has the discretion to reorder medical test or extend the expiry date. They typically wait until application is close to completion to reorder another medical.
