Hello Everyone,

I remember reading about this somewhere but I received the pre-arrival letter today in the myCIC portal:
"

Good that London VO moving fwd your application. keep eyes on your ECAS there is chance that your file status update soon to DM, as per tracker from London VO few applicant got DM within 2-4 week after pre arrival service letter but in your case your medical soon expired.
Keep eyes on your Ecas for DM & myCIC to check your medical passed date . if they make decision before medical expired VO give you extension for medical and will update Ecas to DM.

Thank you! I am hoping we don't have to redo the medical. London VO has been frustratingly slow after getting off to a very quick start.

Thank you for your input Robert!

@salmunsu
Congratulations!
Finally they broke silence, will see how active they are next week.
I am following London_VO Spousal thread, they got pre-arrivals too, coming weeks will tell what they got for us!

 

[jelefame]

yes you can change their address to yours once they arrive in Canada via webform

Thank you! Their first medical is soon to expire. Not sure if we're getting extension as I haven't heard anything from CPC-M. if we get 2nd medical request and they're here in canada on tourist visa, we can do their 2nd medical here right?

 

[MineshPatel]

How was the initial one? did ur parents have to do additional test too?

No not at all. Initial one was cleared in 1 go.

I have a question regarding the Canadian visitor visa of my father. His visitor visa will expire in Sept 2021 (10yrs multiple entry). If he travels, does it have to be valid for atleast six months? CPC-M is so slow, was thinking he can come and stay here if need be to maintain the visitor visa.

As in does it need to be valid for 6 months to enter Canada? I believe the answer is no. You can apply for an extension as well once your father is here.

What does it mean by further medical information is required?
My mother is fine and healthy And in fact she cleared a medical exam here in canada in 2020. We have to do another medical exam this year and they wants us to reappear to panel physician to to additional test.
What type of additional test are they
going to perfom?
