Hi anyone of you who has a condition called pulmonary fibrosis, my pulmo said its a scar in the lungs, but my lungs are cleared and I have no history of TB, so I am going thru a series of tests to validate this and will start a series of medication for 6 mos so I can be ready for the medicals if ever CIC calls for it (praying for that). I submitted my OINP application last NOv 10, 2015 and have not receive any update or aor yet. Ang tanong ko lang, if ever na mapabilis ang processing ng oinp at manominate ako bago matapos ang gamutan, need ko ba explain un? di ba we're only given max of 60 days after ITA to submit all the documents, is medical needed upfront? paano if may tests pa need gawin like the sputum test, na makukuha lng results after 60 days? paano kaya un? please advise I am worried..
thanks po

Hi noramime,

You're right, sputum test is 60 days; usually yung additional test for lungs sa Canada PR visa medical adds 3 additional months to repeat the chest x-ray.

Call the clinic where you plan to take your medical, but when you get the nomination and ITA, I think you can proceed with the preliminary tests, and you can also give your medical reports on the ongoing treatment...you can get a UMF and it may be regarded "incomplete" pending the additional tests (if ever they are requested), but at least you'll be able to send your PR application na with the UMF.
They'll ask you when was the last time you had a chest x-ray, and I think they'll only ask for it if you have the old-style film, but not digital.

If you decline the OINP nomination to buy more time, you will have to ask OINP to resend it to you...actually, I don't know if that's possible for the same EE profile, or they will ask you to create a new EE profile if a provincial nomination was previously declined.

But I think since you are already undergoing treatment, you can proceed with the medicals after accepting the nomination and ITA once you get it. Just show up to your medicals with original reports of your treatment and explanation of pulmonary fibrosis, specially if the scar will still show up in the x-ray...they will attach it to your e-Medical file, and ideally, they won't ask you to take the 3-month test anymore.

Hi Bellaluna thanks for the response, somehow it lessens the worries, mind if may I ask did you get your visa or PR already? You seemed to be knowledgeable of the processes and was really helpful esp to the newbies like me. I sent my appli to OINP last Nove 10, but no update til now.

Hi po..nagtry ako mag register and nde daw po ako pde this time because of my profession which is "Engineer" (Electrical Engineer) ..may option po kc dun na tinatanong ung profession ..kaya aun..

Ang pagkakaalam kopo ay kahit regulated profession ka sa Canada, pwede kapa rin nag apply as immigrant pero di ka agad pwede mag work unless nag pa license ka sa Canada.

Immigration is one thing.
Working is another thing.

 

[ronster]

Oo nga. Sana maambunan tayo kahit konti.

Hayy... Sana nga paulanan na tayo ng PPR. Although mag two months palang ang waiting ko sa 23.

Also, ECAS access is still down. Kayo din ba?

Yesh. Mukhang wala na talagang ECAS for EE applicants kasi may MyCIC na rin naman.

Check here, FSW vs. EE: you'll be referred to ECAS for FSW, MyCIC for EE:

Yes, ECAS is still down mukhang sa MYCIC na lang talaga ang status.

Ako going 3 months na sa Feb 6. Medyo nakakakaba nga kasi yung iba dito sa bansa ko ang bilis ng proseso. Yung iba dalawang buwan lang or less yung akin more than isang buwan na in progress ang BGC.

Mukhang dyan sa Local VO pinoprocess yung sa kanila kaya mabilis ang proseso. At sa timeline mo naman, mukhang mabilis din kasi BG in progress ka na. baka dyan din pino-process yung sa yo. Sa akin kasi sa CPC-Ottawa ang VO ko kaya natagalan. Konting hintay na lang yan! Good luck!

Salamat Revivax, Oo dito yung akin kasi may tumawag sa akin sa Singapura at humingi ng dokumento para sa dagdag na kaperahan. Same day nag change yung staus ng BGC ko na in progress. Base sa nakikita ko naman kapag in progress na sana safe na nga sya at ang kasunod ay PPR na. Ang dami kasing desisyon na pending ang hirap kasi pag may anak ka hindi kami makagalaw kung tuloy o hindi dahil wala pang confirmation haha. Im sure madami din ditong ganyan.

Kelan mo balak lumipad?

Yeah, maaaring huwag mo munang i-declare yung brother mo kung kaka-land pa lang niya, so go ahead and attend the NB info session especially kung nasa prio list yung NOC mo.

Thank you so much. may isa pang question don kung may relatives ako sa canada? ang sinagot ko wala pero don sa EE profile ko nilagay ko ung Tita ko na kapatid ng father ko? pwede ba un? what if matanong ako? kasi ang nakalagay if may first relatives hindi ako pwede mag apply under NBPNP.

Tanggalin mo na lang sila sa EE profile mo, or else later on you will be asked to provide their docs when you get an ITA. I hope it does not affect your eligibility for EE, yun lang.

 

[adamsv]

if tatanggalin ko sya sa EE Profile ko di ba mag ulit ako ng EE process ko?

 

[bellaluna]

No. It's possible to edit your EE profile at any point before ITA. but compute mo muna kung pasado ka sa 67 sa FSWP kasi 5 points din yung relatives in Canada sa computation.

Naku hindi ko na po alam if pano ko lit tingnan if paano ko nakuha ung 67points. actually CRS ko 327 kaya medyo wala na talaga ako pag asa. tas ung NOC ko medyo di in-demand kasi NOC 4031 and NOC 4311. kaya nawawalan na talaga ako ng pag asa. gusto ko sana mag attend ng session sa NBPNP baka sakali lang
