Hi
Just curious - anybody here had experience of sending medicals to Ottawa from within Canada? (with PR application in process in Buffalo NY?) We are living in Vancouver currently on husband's TWP (end of yr 3), PR Medicals sent by DMP just today, and I need to know how long before Immigration Medicals are processed by Ottawa in order to be able to apply for extension of my open spousal permit? Does Buffalo have automatic access to the medical results when processed by Ottawa - or do they have to be physically sent there for further review?
We have followed many of the timelines here and most seem to be from applicants overseas, has anyone had recent experience, based in Canada, how long after submitting Medicals before Passport Requests were made, and how long do the Visa Office take to return passports? - we are concerned about being unable to travel out of Canada for the interim period. I'm aware it could be up to another 6 months before we hear a thing but am wondering is this the norm.? Anyone in similar situation?
thanks,
Helena.

Hello,

Hope you receive the notification from the forum. I'm inland, working in Canada. My PR application medicals got extended last week. I've read in few forums that Officer will only request for medicals extension when the decision has been finalized or nearing. It's been couple of weeks my medicals extension got approved but no movement in the application. I've completed 8 months. My eligibility is still under review. Can you please share your experience?

Did you received your PPR after the medicals extension? If YES, pls share the timelines.
