Not sure what you are asking ms.m but medicals are valid for 1 year.If CIC wants another medical they will contact you .Some VO extend the medicals, othesr will ask you for another one. Unless their is something on your file or you was not able to complete the medical xrays for example if you are pregnant , you will not here from them . All medicals are sent via email and the only thing you will receive is the receipt , which you sent along with your application. Hope i covered every thing :)

Good morning,

My canadian spouse filed the application on Nov 24th and CIC received it on Nov 25th according notification fro Canada Post. So, we wonder how long it takes to have any info in the CHECK YOUR APP STATUS link? How can we get into that link if we do not ave any UCI number or IMM5401 receipt number as we payed online? We just want to track our application….or is it too early for that???
Regards y GOOD LUCK for EVERYBODY going through this process.

The e-receipt will not work on ECAS sadly! :( .... We had to wait until we were issued a UCI # to be able to check ECAS online.

Also, ECAS Will not show anything until you are close to sponsorship approval.

No, but they are really slow sorting incoming documents. Just send the docs again, but this time don't wait a long time if possible.

Just send the same documents again.They asked me for doc's which i sent the next day then two months after that they requested the same documents .It was a computer error, but i sent any way.
.I have seen people on the forum that sent documents to late and the VO had already made a negative decision.You could call them and say that you have sent the documents, but from experience they will just tell you to comply . They are giving you a second chance.

Then they're going to be more interested in how and when you met, when you decided to get married, how much time you spent together, whether you ...
Hey thanks for giving me this much detail, we are married a month before but we know each other since 2011 through a family member but our only means of communication was on the phone calls, skype, facebook, whatsapp etc. and his passport exit entry once he visited me, so i think it makes sense??
we do have all postal receipts of sending & receiving gifts also.
2) do i need to support my every answer, like if they ask for my education, shall i attach my degree? when they ask for my work, shall i attach my employment letter? even if it is not mentioned in the checklist?

good day to everyone i'm new here in thread, maybe this question was already discussed my apology...

i just want to ask if the person to be sponsor needs to submit also an employment certificate or it is okay without it as long as it was stated on the application form?

all our documents are complete and can't submit our papers because we are waiting for my wife's employment certificate from her current employer in Philippines.

anyone here can help me about this? we don't want to take a risk to submit the papers without the coe to avoid return of application.

regarding the proof of marriage, does it matter if the document to be sent together with the application form is the certificate of marriage of contract or the certificate of advisory on marriage? those two forms are in different format but same information.

thank you. GOD Bless everyone...

The sponsor is supposed to submit a letter from their employer if they are currently employed. I'm not sure what a certificate of employment is, but a letter is fine.

Thank you tink23.

I already have a letter from my employer but how about on my spouse?
Does she needs to submit certificate of employment too as a proof that she is working in Philippines?

unless there is something specific in the Phillipine guide that suggests this is required, it is not required for the applicant to submit proof of employment. all that's needed is to write the information in the appropriate form that asks about current employment. the only forms or supporting documents that are required as the ones that are specifically written on the checklists. if it's not specifically asked for, then it is not required.
