All who got the letter on Sept 27th have been asked this. This is listed as needed under Country Specific requirements...

Text from the letter (previous posts have documented the entire letter text) related to country specific requirements:

Country Specific Requirements: Please refer to the country specific requirements listed for
spouses, as these documents are applicable to parents and grandparents.

Country specific requirements can be found on our website:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp
and when you follow the link above


Country specific requirements
India - Additional forms for residents
India – Instruction(s) for documents
  • Birth certificates issued in this country: If a birth is registered late, include the original baptism certificate and other original documents establishing identity such as:
    • Old school records (Fifth class, Middle standard and Matriculation/secondary school certificate), and
    • Voter's ID card.
  • For divorces obtained in this country, please submit a complete divorce petition, a judgement and a Final divorce decree.
  • Identity documents for adopted child with Indian passport: If any child on your application was adopted through customary law and not through courts, you must provide an explanation and proof of the adoption, such as:
    • Original adoption deed;
    • Photographs of the adoption ceremony;
    • Power of attorney documents, if applicable;
    • Evidence of contact and financial support with adoptive parents;
    • Letter of no objection from the Central Adoption Resource Agency (CARA), Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India. The guidelines which outline CARA requirements can be found at: www.cara.nic.in
    • For international adoptions, the competent authority of the child's residence and province of intended destination must declare in writing that they approve of the adoption as conforming to the Hague Convention.
Thanks a lot for this information. I guess I cant do it right now and have to wait until they ask for this. I wasn't aware of this when submitting the application because this was not part of the checklist.

  • The medical facility is obligated to give you a copy of the Medical results. The administrator was very open about when the result was uploaded. They are not hiding anything.
    Hi, what do they ask before starting the medical, any forms or medical history specific things they ask. ? Are we supposed to take any medical reports with us. I need to let my parents know. Thanks in advance

Oops you Waiting since 30th August. I dont understand what is getting in the way to move further for bio.
If you look at the tracker, the waiting time can go from 1 to 90 days, i really think it depends on the officer reviewing your file and when he sets his reminder to get back to the file, no need to worry

See signature below for IME Letter and form.

The questions for my parents were very basic - any current / past medical issues, current medications, bloodwork, urology and chest x-rays...thats it...

Also i agree it totally depends on visa officer. At my immigration time. Immigration time was 8 months average but we got it done in 19 months. Bcoz visa officer wasnt familiar with the job details and field i had experience. He wanted to discuss that. And that added an extra time of 11 months. But my friend and lot of other people got it withing 8 months same field same experience.

Thankyou for the compliment!

I am sure you have read the story by HG Wells "The Country of the Blind" which then gave birth to the very famous phrase "In the Country of the Blind, the one eyed man is the King".

Trust me, this forum has been very educational for me as well. I have learnt much from others here.

Professionally, I am a partner in an MNC responsible for running the Urban Design / Planning practice of the firm...
