    Validity of police clearance

    Umm that's exactly what it says read it again. it says it needs to be issued 3 months before you applied, nothing about when they receive it which is exactly what i said. As long as it's issued within 3 months of when you apply they will accept the certificate. i applied in early Feb for...

    Oh the embassy would have been closed yesterday for Thanksgiving if that's when they tried to deliver it.

    Philippines Canadian Embassy hours?

    That was the same address i sent mine, which the did receive. However a slightly different part at the top, I specified the family class section of immigration and included our file number. Not sure if that would make a difference. Family Class Section Immigration Section, (insert file...

    Validity of police clearance

    That's not the experience I've had with my certificates. When i called the CIC hotline in February I had just received our Lebanon police certificate. I asked them if I should mail it in right away and they said not to and that I should wait for the request from the visa office in Manila...

    Looking for TRANSLATION service in TOKYO

    When we received our clearance from Lebanon they were able to provide us a translation at the Lebanon embassy for a small fee. Not sure if that will work for your case but you can ask them.

    Police Certifications

    Yah for anything I wasn't able to include I put an explanation in a word doc, printed it and included it with the application. That's what they advised me to do when i called the CIC hotline. In my case I made a note we didn't include the Lebanon certificate as it was a 3 month waiting time...

    Police Certifications

    When i put in our application (outland) we weren't able to get the certificate for Lebanon as it takes 3 months. I called the CIC hotline and they advised me to submit the application and put in a note that i had requested it. They advised they would request the police clearance during the...

    Help with Proof of Medical Exam. How to get Copy 1 of Med Report?

    You shouldn't need any forms and it 'should' be attached to your application when the doctor sends it to CIC. To ensure it 'finds' you application what i would do is include a note stating you did your application and note the doctors name, name of the hospital/clinic and the date you took the...

    police and medical checks, with application?

    If you can send them before do so, especially the medical one. You don't need to send either as they won't send your app back for not doing so but it will likely delay it once they get to that point and ask for them. In my case we did the med before the app, however the police certificate from...

    Initial medical examinations not meeting the medical admissibility of Canada

    Yes i would start there, When we contacted the doctor that did our initial tests he already had a follow up letter from CIC with the instructions for further testing. He told us what needed to be done and it was straightforward after that.

    Initial medical examinations not meeting the medical admissibility of Canada

    It sounds like they are asking for another x-ray which isn't that uncommon. That being said it's kind of hard to tell from their wording.

    Initial medical examinations not meeting the medical admissibility of Canada

    It was around Dec 12th but when we received the letter it referred to Feb 28th, which was the date they received it,

    Initial medical examinations not meeting the medical admissibility of Canada

    This is probably the date that CIC received it, I had a similar letter for my wife and it said Feb 28th even though we did the tests in December. You may be able to have your wife call the hospital directly and ask about this as they should have a record of any requests from CIC, we were able...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    Those aren't the PAFSO workers that were on strike, your number is wrong as i explained. Only 1500 workers worldwide belong to the union, this isn't every person in every office. The starting salary is 62k

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    That number is not for foreign immigration officers/workers, I'm assuming you got that from wow jobs as that's the number they come up with. It's not really an accurate site and those are referring to jobs within Canada which is not the group on strike and not the comparable group to PAFSO...

    Just Married to a Filipina, no NSO Marriage Certificate, Local Certificate OK?

    If i remember correctly we went to the local registrar after the wedding and had something done called an 'advance endorsement'. Basically i gave them a little extra money and they sent it off to the NSO right away. I would start by having your wife go to the local registrar and ask about...
