when uploading documents like a translation or copy of a card, are we allowed to take a photo of it and upload it as long as everything is clearly visible?

I received my medical request this morning (11th Dec.)

ECAS and GCkey are not the same thing. To access ECAS, you do not need to link the application. To access GCKey you do.

ECAS is more accurate and up to date for status updates on the file, but you cannot submit any documentation through ECAS. In order to submit documentation online through webform you need to link the application on GCKey.

I might be wrong but I thought GC Key was actually more up to date, it’s constantly updating your status while ECAS is updated once a day. I think I read this in the IRCC website... we can get different information from each though on the status. So it’s definitely beneficial to check both.

GCKey is quite far behind. Absolutely it's beneficial to check both but all decisions made will come on ECAS first. You'll have DM on ecas for weeks and GCKey will say that they're still processing even once it's been approved. Unreliable for sure.

Should be ok! The website says they accept jpeg, pdf and doc files if you want i think there are also a number of apps that convert your picture to pdf (you can do this through the notes app if you have an iphone as well). I also remember they request colour copies.

Everyone whos application was transferred to the VO. did Mississauga office wait for your medical results before transferring the file to VO?

I just checked our dates to be sure, medical was passed after we got the transfer email and AOR2. So I guess they don’t necessarily wait.

So i have found a medical request on my MyCIC account,does anyone have an idea how much does it cost? i called the local Panel physician but he didn't want to tell me about the price?! so weird also its 250KM Away !

In our country, it is around $300 . Did you click the link in your medical request and check if there are any closer place ?

Help: does it matter whether the panel physician get the correct purpose of our medical exam? for some reason when they asked what the medical exam is for, and the PA told them it is for " super visa" but not " immigrate", and after when we wanted to correct it, they just said it doesn't matter cause CIC would have the right one on their file already. I am a little bit worry.....

they go according to the IME number or the Application number listed on the medical form. so once its filed with the number, CIC will get the correct info.

I wonder how long it would take to revive AOR2. I am living in UAE with my sponsor. I think IRCC will tra Abu Dhabi office w

it will say this for quite some time -- each visa office does things a bit different but dont take this for gold either. they could be working on things, just not updating anything

Thanks
