Hello all, I need some help - My mom did her medical in the US as well as a follow up 2 months later. Its now been 2 months since the follow up and she has been asked for another follow up. My mom is now back in India, and I will have to use a doctor in Mumbai.

Has anyone been in this situation before? Will there be issues because I will be using 2 doctors? Do I need to get her previous Immigration docs transferred to the new doctor? I am freaking out right now because I am not sure what to do.

It is possible to do her additional medicals in another city/country. Depending on the situation and why additional medicals were required it may be a good idea to transfer the previous results to the new MD. If not possible to transfer the new MD may have to repeat some of the tests already done.

Thanks!
Do you know if they will grant an extension? I just called my mom to tell her about the new tests needed and she told me she is going to have cataract surgery this weekend and she told me she wont be able to travel for another 6 weeks after the surgery because of doc appointments for follow of this surgery.

Will CIC grant an extension? Do i call the regular line or should I ask my MP for help?

ah! Vancouver seems to be too slow!

I also checked the processing times on the IRCC website, and it's gone up from 33 to 36 months.

Hi

I am feeling frustrated. I applied in Dec 2023 - Medical was done in July 2024 and Police Clearance also sent. Since then no update. File is stuck at Vancouver Office and is undergoing security check.

Any suggestions on how to expedite process please?

Same boat! Nothing we can really do, is my guess. How do you know that your file is undergoing security checks? Mine just says "we are reviewing..." on the GC portal
