So the panel physicians can charge whatever they want TBH. I can only comment on the clinic we visited in Kitchener, ON. They also do not do blood or X-Ray (which are required, and it is common to not have these in-office). We paid $140 for the exam, $15 for the blood work, and $40 for the X-Ray. Usually they are in the same office building, and you just walk from one office to the other.
Hey! so update!

I booked another appointment with another place (they charge more then last place but includes urine test... yay?)
My appointment is for this Saturday however i had to book another appointment for my blood work to be done 2 weeks later! (Still within the 30 days for cic) Is that going to be ok.. ? its a big gap but all the appointments are on weekdays and this was the only weekend one that was within my 30 day time limit. Let me know what you think :)

Should be ok. As long as the physicians office allows it, then should be fine. Once you visit the doctor, the CIC clock stops. So 2 weeks or 2 months, it won't matter when you get the other done.

Ok cool! Thats for clarifying that :)

Also what you mean by the physicians office allows it... Im hoping they do! Will it affect the results or something if the bloodwork is done later?

It's up to the doctor to make sure the test is within the specific limits of CIC. So, if they are allowing you to book a blood appointment later, then cool. It's not up to you when you can get the test completed.

Guys When i Submitted my inland app, i included the payment receipt with a total of CAD $ 1,040.00. and i am sure that the RPRF is included on that. Is that receipt is enough? to show that i paid for it? because it's not indicated.

Thank you.

Yes, I had the same question the other day. @profiler responded that is included and that is enough.

Bring that receipt with you and tell them. The amount is correct.

Thanks profiler. I just checked my cic account and stated that " We need additional documents to process your application. Check your messages below for details."

I already have DM and there's no message below plus no email notification received. Is this still part of a system glitch? what should i do?

It's a defect. CIC is aware of it. You have DM, that is it. They're done with you.

If you don't trust me, or believe what I say, you can verify with the call centre (888-242-2100) ;)

Hi all,

I'm struggling a bit right now. The stress of this process is starting to feel overwhelming. I've tried leaning on my husband and sharing with him how I feel...but he takes it personally and feels guilty that I'm feeling this stress as a result of being with him in Canada. Those of you who've been through this process, how did you best cope? Who did you talk to when the uncertainty and stress started to feel heavy?

Thanks,

K

I dont think you should be worried. I had the same message. Then the message disappeared when they started to work on my eligibility. I went to MyCIC account yesterday and the same message ('We need additional documents') appeared in the screen again lol. And I have DM and landing interview scheduled. So it's a glitch.....
