    Medical Examination, passed 2 of the 3 but 3rd I got to re-do. Question.

    The urine test does not show any of those. It's the same argument for weighing someone. Being overweight will not lead to further tests. TB is picked up by the X-ray and syphillis and HIV by the blood test. The worst blood in your urine is is bladder cancer or kidney failure. Neither of which...

    Medical Examination, passed 2 of the 3 but 3rd I got to re-do. Question.

    So if you have a bladder infection do you have to go for a retest after and with which doctor? And I assume they or you send it to your local VO? This all seems a bit silly given blood in urine isn't anything from what I understand that can lead to refusal under spouse sponsorship. For example...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I submitted approx 150 6x4 photos. However a lot (seemingly in the majority based on the number of posts) photocopied or printed 4 per A4 sheet. Many have also reported submitted about 30 photos and my 150 seems to be on the more significant end of the spectrum. I put them in an envelope but...

    Did you get the medical email randomly or did you enquire with them your status?

    Thanks. We weren't asked to fill it in and didn't see it in the pack so maybe we got lucky. Defo worth being as thorough as possible.

    What was the common law declaration that had to be sent? Did they request this after from you?

    Conjugal partner of a Canadian citizen

    They are in the UK but Canada does not recognise it as such. I believe because the name used does not contain marriage. When it becomes law in the UK, a civil partnership can be known as marriage without a ceremony and Canada, I would imagine, will then recognise it for immigration purposes. We...

    Conjugal partner of a Canadian citizen

    If you did this Canada would not permit you to apply under the spouse sponsorship so you are back to needing to live together for 12 months. They do not recognise same sex civil ceremonies at the moment but as I am sure you are aware, with the current bill going through in the UK, it should mean...

    Medical Examination, passed 2 of the 3 but 3rd I got to re-do. Question.

    No. They just may make you undergo tests to show what it is (they didn't diagnose from my additional tests) but my doctor's surgery did. If the VO contacts me I will send in clear results now. Any pause in the VO processing an application takes time. They write to you, you get a diagnosis, you...

    Medical Examination, passed 2 of the 3 but 3rd I got to re-do. Question.

    Well no-one will have processed my application yet (just the sponsor) although its not clear whether my meds have been passed or not but my extra results came back with no diagnosis, just confirmed the same. I'm confident at the worse it may delay things but that's it.

    Medical Examination, passed 2 of the 3 but 3rd I got to re-do. Question.

    Did the doctor say you had to do it or did the VO request you do it? I also had blood in my urine and had to agree to additional tests at the time. They didn't prove anything and since then I have dealt with it through my own doctor's surgery.

    immigration pictures for outland etiquette

    Did you get the right size? That seems a lot for tiny photos. Mine were a tenner at Jessops, no stamp, no signature.

    best way to mail the application!?

    From the UK I booked via p4u.co.uk and it was under £30 for 4kg parcel. They come and collect. There's a specific address for couriers so make sure you get that right. Don't have value higher than about $20 else it will get stuck and duty will be due to be paid on it while entering Canada.

    Medical results have been received !!!

    It seems to come up quite a bit now upon Sponsorship and not exclusively when your final PR is being issued. I have heard conflicting info on here. Either your medical record has been reviewed in Ottawa and you have passed that part or your VO has received the medical record and has been matched...

    Which type of Spousal sponsorship

    They are bilateral. If marriage is on the cards in the near future, you may wish to consider applying then.

    Which type of Spousal sponsorship

    Agree with the above. Also being a Canadian permanent resident which you will become once you land with your PR will most likely impact your tax and status as a British resident. What do you want a PR visa for if you don't intend to become a permanent resident?
