Hello,
What is the upfront medical and how do we get that done. Also for the travel insurance, who did you use for that.
Also, in another thread, someone told me that she will only be able to stay for 1 two year period, but the way that I read the cic website is that it will be a multiple entry visa and she will be able to come and go as many times as she wants, but can only stay for a total of 2 years in the 10 year period, am I correct?
EDIT
I just saw this site
https://www.bestquotetravelinsurance.ca/
they have a monthly plan and will refund when they go back to philippines, is that a trust-worthy site to deal with?

I sent an email first to the clinic and asked my sister inlaw to confirm requirements for upfront medical. Best to give the clinic headsup that you don't have any immigration forms to provide since this is upront medical exam. After the exams, the clinic will provide you the 'e-medical form'; this form is what you will submit with your parent(s) application.
I got a medical insurance from our insurance advisor. She got us 21st Century (part of Manulife) as this is the only insurance company that accepts monthly payments. Other insurance companies require one-time or lump sum payment. Feel free to send an email to our insurance advisor - Gloria Smith (Gloria.Smith@sunlife.com) and just tell her I (Anna) recommended her.

Yes, this is correct based on the IRCC website. But the validity will depend on the passport's expiration date so if the passport will expire in 5 years then the VISA will only be valid for 5 years.
Hope this helps.
