This is great news! I was wondering if St.Lukes has finally implemented the E-Medical. Because people under the old system seem to wait 3 months, where you were less than a month. I'm wondering if they did indeed email your medical results, instead of snail mail? And if so, are all the qualifying doctors offices in the Philippines set up the same now, or would it be better to travel to St Lukes?
This is all just speculation.. but I would be curious to see what anybody has to say. If approved we're due for another medical, and I would rather have him fly to St Lukes if that's what it takes to get it done quickly.

I actually remembered you Steph when I read about this one month remedical. I was wondering too if this is just St. Lukes or everybody's using the new system already.
Hopefully this one month waiting for remedical will be this way onwards. I am expecting my husband to get remeds done too since his will expire in August.
Maybe you could email them about this query?

Anyway, did CEM requested remedical for your husband yet?

You mean to email St Luke's about it? That would be a good idea.. I would imagine they're the biggest, most advanced medical facility, right? I just wonder if they actually have emedical implemented in the provinces. If it's a difference of 2 months, there will be a flight to Manila for sure
I am certain that the CEM won't ask us for a re-medical until they are satisfied that they will grant our visa. It's generally the last request, especially after an interview. I feel that the day they request the medical we can have a big party 8)

Or for a faster response, ask your husband to call the clinic and ask them questions.
Apparently, some people who recently went through St. Lukes still waited 3 months. So yea, better make sure the air ticket is worth it.
I am sure your application will be fine, I am predicting you will get a remedical request before April or early April

Hi Crisracs, pwede kayong mag walk-in sa St. Lukes Medical Center Clinic; Sabihin nyo lang na Medical Examination for Canada Visa Application. After ng Medical, ibabalik sa inyo yung completed Form 1017, yun ang ipadala nyo sa CEM. Then yung results, sila na magdadala sa Canada Embassy-Manila. Document Checklist [IMM 5491] number 27 yung Medical. Hindi nyo nakita siguro yung warning sa taas ng Document Checklist [IMM 5491], may nakalagay na "If you do not enclose all the required forms and documents, your entire application will be returned to you".

Thanks Iay, we are already getting excited about it.. Planning the first things to do, see, eat! Your predictions have been good so I'm happy ) I suppose they have to mail you the medical request in person right? Not by email?

You're always welcome Steph

You know what, I'm not really sure how they give remedical correspondence. It could be either snail mail, email, or maybe phone call as well. So better be ready for any of these.
Maybe someone here could share their experience.

 

[annerella]

Thanks guys

We were expecting that we would be receiving our visas on May the least that's why I was really surprised when I got the text message from the DHL delivery guy yesterday. To think that I wasn't supposed to be at home yesterday, a sudden change of plan the day before made me decide to delay buying my daughters ballet outfit for her summer class.

On the email I sent to St. Lukes, I mentioned that the medical report was the only thing that the embassy was waiting in order to finally release our visas, which is true.
It took the embassy 5 months since the request for Medical Extension (Aug 2012) to e-mail us our our Re-medical Request (Jan 2013) when if not for the expired medicals our visas were supposedly released July 2012 (These timelines are mentioned on the GCMS notes we ordered)

We wont be leaving that soon anyhow, we were caught off guard. We have yet to prepare alot of things. (Yes, our bad, we shouldve been prepared, but after waiting for more than a year, it could get tiring, it came to a point that we were like, okay, let's not think about it the whole thing.) Our visas will expire next year so have alot of time left

Goodluck to everybody.
