Oh ! Based on everyone’s response. I think each case is different based on PA’s country of residence. But regardless of this, everyone’s application will be processed within a year. You should get an update soon thoughMy application was received on 17th dec 2018
No MR, No Biometrics, No SA or any other updates since then too(
I did the same!
SILLY ME. I have not received emails but I am 100% sure I sent the wrong police check in. We did a free, regional one for the whole family, when we actually need a national (likely expensive) one. That's great to know! Thank you!I did the same!
Don't be. My husbands was so high! He passed his medical. I have been meaning to get him to check it again, we were surprised it was on the high side at the appointment.
The physician should have referred your husband to his GP for anything out of the ordinary really.I did the same!

It's possible they won't ever ask for it, but if it were me I'd probably want to have my bases covered. At minimum I would probably have your husband put through the request for the correct police certificate now, unless it's really expensive, as that is probably the part that takes the longest. You could perhaps wait to do the translation until it's asked for (presuming you can get that done at short notice) and therefore save that expense.Same. No news after medicals passed. Congrats to all
I didn't get the email yet, but I am pretty sure we sent the wrong police certificates.
This is A HELPFUL PAGE I wish I found before: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how.html You can check what background / police document is required for each country. How did I miss this?
We assumed any old police check will do and went to a local office for background check but (of course), like everything else with this process, there are designated places where official background checks can be done and only certificates issued from there are valid ones accepted with Canadian Sponsorship Applications. Of course!
Should I wait for the request for additional documents to arrive or be proactive and get the document ready? My heart sank when I realized we sent wrong ones, and I wonder if I am risking application rejection!
We did the wrong police background checks for PA (husband) + mom n dad just to "cover all the bases" even tho they aren't even listed dependents (wanted to show husband comes from a good, non-crime committing family); we had all 3 pages certified translated at $300 Canadian dollars. (Complete waste of $ as these were the wrong police forms altogether). We will have to get the proper certificate / background check for PA. Luckily our application is processing so far with no issue, no request for additional documents yet, but since I am 100% positive we sent the wrong police check..... maybe it is best to just get started right away and get this stuff done so I can upload it the moment they request it to avoid further delay.
ECAS is showing "we do not need additional documents at this time" Yet, I am positive we sent the wrong police check they will so surely require, according to data uncovered in my trusty link above.
(Can't wait for this to be over x 1million)
No. I didn't think 1 day mattered much. Just easier to go by Dec 1.The physician should have referred your husband to his GP for anything out of the ordinary really.
I've just noticed, your signature says your application was received on the 30th November, but you're down on the tracker as the 1st December, is that a sneaky way of getting to the top of a tracker
Thanks. We are going to get it organized with the request.
I appreciate your input, experts!
How many languages can you speak? I’m a product of the British school system in which you complete 2-3 years of either French, Spanish or German then promptly forget 99% of it by the age of 16.
Edit: I can vaguely remember how to say I am 12 years old in German... I think it’s Ich bin Zwolf jähre alt...
The umlaut and the capital first letter in zwölf and Jahre seem to have made a little swap, but other than that your memory is solid! Living in Canada you can look forward to some French being sprinkled into your subsconscious too (even if it's just the vocab on the cereal box)!
I did the same!
The PCC forms a large part of the security checks for the PA... You're more than likely going to have them requested if you've sent the wrong ones - I'd preempt it and get them ordered and upload them via the web form in with an explanation. The general rule of thumb is to not send anything unless requested but in this case better safe than sorry.
I can't imagine that, very different world. I can't imagine you get that many colds over thereNo. I didn't think 1 day mattered much. Just easier to go by Dec 1.
I laughed at your suggestion of a GP referral. Where we actually live, it is the middle of the thick Costa Rican jungle - definitely no one there has GPs that I know of. In fairness, everyone there is so happy and healthy no one really needs one. It is an entirely different world.
My phone automatically corrected that... stupid phone
Same situation for me, ECAS is updated with a new message that process started on Mar. 04 in HongKong.
