Spouse Open Work permit

[jmathew]

I am confused about up-front medical.

On the cic website, it's written that a medical examination can be done before submitting the application; a copy of the IMM 1017B Upfront Medical Report form will be given by doctor, which is atrached to the application. My wife called Max Hospital from where she will doing the medical examination and they told her that up-fornt medical is not done anymore.

We were planning to do the medical along with the application so that she does not have to visit Delhi just for the medical later.

Has anyone done this recently?

Yes I did upfront medicals.

Hi Guys,

Need help from you Seniors!

My wife completed her PG in Sep 2016 and having PGWP now. She is an employee of a firm in Toronto, but she is currently working as a consultant for a firm in Mont Real as an outsourced employee(This is stated in her employment reference letter). Now I would like to apply for SOWP. For that shall we apply for the common SOWP? Or should I apply under any other program for getting Open work permit to move to Mont Real?

Thanks in Advance!!

Hi All,
I have crossed my 11th week today , just wanted to know .. when i applied my wife was here in India but now she is there in Canada ,.. should i attach her Student permit , SIN etc ? If yes please guide me how to do that ?

As I understand, you might have applied for SOWP along with your wife's study permit application. If that is the case, you should submit copy of study permit to CIC's respective visa office. your wife has changed the program or the college after coming to Canada, I suggest to update her GC Key profile first and let CIC know about this change before you do anything. If your visa office is New Delhi, use the following link. It will take you straight to the CSE of New Delhi Visa Office.

Hi,
you can not attach any docs once the application is submitted except the case where cic ask you for anything. So stay positive and you will hear soon.

Upfront medicals are no more accepted for SOWP from Dec 2016 onwards. You have to first submit the application and cic will ask for medicals once your application reach a stage where they are satisfied with all docs and about to approve your application. In all the cases I know so far, if they call for medicals, you are almost approved.

Applications from march 2017 are processed these days, So yours will take some time looking at the processing speed these days. Additionally, I might be completely wrong but you may face some difficulties as your file for PR is already in system and you are applying for SOWP in parallel to that.

It's clearly written on CIC website that people applying for work permit can do up-front medicals. But applicants who are being sponsores will have to wiat for further instructions for medical exami ation. Medical institutions conducting these medical examinationa should be aware of all the changes. Frustrating.

Thanks for the reply, asdfgh123.

Information as given on cic website, see below:

For tremporary residents (visitors, sudents, and workers), up-front medical examination can be done before submitting the application; a copy of the IMM 1017B Upfront Medical Report form will be given by doctor. See "Get your exam befor your submit your application" section in the link below.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-temp.asp

Applications for Permanent Residency (spousal sponsorship program) do not need up-front medial, which came into effect on December 15, 2016 (as you noted). See, Get your exam before your submit your application" section link below
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

SOWP would fall under the temporary residency application, right? So up-front medical should be allowed or maybe I am wrong.

I have sent an email to Max Hospital and VSF for clarification, and I will call cic, but in the end the medical examiners would have to agree.

Thanks for the reply but i think we can still upload the docs even-after submitting the application by using below link : -
