Hey Guys, I received medical request via email this morning. happy to see little movement. I am little worried about medicals though as my father has high creatinine and urea levels in recent lab test. Anyone has experience with kidney related issues during medicals? Any tips and advice will be...

Hi Notley, Thanks for sharing your experience. Is your file in Ottawa or India? I wonder why did they ask you for medical again if your SV medical was still withing 1 year validity. I have seen some other similar cases too. I believe supervisa medical is not same or detailed as Immigration...

Still in the waiting game for medical request. It is frustrated to think about it everyday. My parents are in India and wants to be here with grandkids asap. I am applying regular visitor visa for them and they will complete upfront medicals in India before they fly to Canada. This is because...

Hi first_generation, Do you think people who got sponsorship approval earlier in January but didn't have upfront medical request can/should also go for upfront medicals ? I was thinking in worst case it will just expire after a year but getting it done now may make rest of the process faster...

soonihope and others waiting for medical.. is there any update on your files? The wait time is killing. I called CIC yesterday to check if the medical request was ever sent and I didn't receive or lost in spam. CIC has a new policy not to discuss status information over the phone before...

Hi soonihope, I was going to send my parents for upfront medical but then I saw movement in CIC ottawa. So I just asked my parents to wait another week or so to see if we get request from CIC. I did some more research online yesterday regarding medical and kidney disease and how cic looks at...

Yes, nonEDE means he is NOT Excessive Demand Exempt. It means if the medical report shows that there is any chronic disease which require lifetime health care, PR will be denied under "Excessive demand on health care clause". Usually Family class (includes spouses, common-law partners, conjugal...

Another thing to note is we are not 100% sure if the supervisa medical is accepted for PR specially for pareants and grandparents category. It is not documented anywhere. Medical for parents PR is different from all the other medicals since CIC categorizes it differently. 1) For Spouses and...

Hey Guys, Hopefully I will also get medical request soon from cic but in the meantime I have a question about disclosing medical history to the panel doctor. My dad has hypertension, diabetes (insulin) and stent inserted for kidney arteries. All of this has been stable for over 4 years with...

Hi michelv, I would advise you to contact the physician again with this information or rather pick another physician, possibly in Delhi (Max hospital has about 8 physician on panel). I would say hurry up to avoid missing 30 day deadline. regards

Upfront medical for supervisa is possible and even cic encourages it as optional. My parents called max hospital in Delhi and people there were well aware of the upfront medical process for supervisa or PR. Besides, I found the following on cic website. Everybody should take a look as it...

Hi Guys, That's exactly what I thought before and then I asked this question few times in this forum. I think "first_generation" replied to my query and had actually done upfront medical before receiving medical request from cic. Below is my query and response My post ----------------- Hey...

No, I didnt receive medical request in any form. just getting upfront medical done anyways.

Hey Guys, My parents are going to book upfront medical for PR. I have a question about disclosing medical history to the panel doctor. My dad has hypertension, diabetes (insulin) and stent inserted for kidney arteries. All of this has been stable for over 4 years with bunch of medications. Does...

Canada dislikes the idea of old folks moving to Canada and be a burden on the health care system. Therefore, single parent sponsor are given preference. Furthermore, I believe dependent age is also an important factor here in prioritizing cases. Probably younger parents are processed before the...

Hi Gaur84, How many people are you sponsoring in total (mother, father or any dependents) ? I am curious to know how CIC is prioritizing cases. I believe your file is also in Ottawa as mine. I was approved as sponsor on Jan 28 and still waiting for medicals. We all believe that single parent...

Hi first_generation, Thank you for your response to my query. Information you shared and your personal experience is really helpful as it will definitely help us decide and bring my parents here early. I guess the two options we have now are: 1) Have my parents apply for supervisa if the...

Hey Guys, Can anyone please shed advice in my situation. My parents are in India right now. Sponsorship approval was done on Jan 28, 2015 and file was transferred to Ottawa. Like most people here, I am also waiting for medical requests from CIC. It doesn't look like CIC is actively working on...

Hi user828, I wonder if you could help me make a decision. I see from your timeline that you received medical request for your parents on Jan 28, 2013 but medical's were submitted 10 days before on Jan 18, 2013. Does that mean you had your parents take upfront medicals and CIC accepted it? In...
