haha...No problem. By the way, the file size limit is 10MB for email. So, your documents should get there just fine.

Try calling the CIC call center if you are having trouble linking your online account. There are a number of possibilities why you failed to link the account. Make sure you have at least 1 hr for the call because the wait time can be quite long. But, once you get through, the agent can walk you...

No. Auto reply is the acknowledgement. Save the auto reply and the original message in case you need to prove that you did send the document.

For those of you who needs to do Medical Surveillance, this link could come in handy. All you have to do is to report to the public health in your region after landing. You can choose to do follow up tests and exams at your own expense or wait 3 months until your provincial healthcare covers...

Mine wasn't too bad. The main thing is to keep everything (emails, documents, correspondences etc.) in case you need to reference them. They are somewhat slow, but not the slowest VO. It is also a good idea NOT to send frequent inquiries to them, and give them sufficient time to work on your...

Use the latest version.

You cannot go for another exam on your own. You must wait for instructions from your regional medical office. They will most likely redo the tests. A lot of people got into the situation you are in. So, don't worry about it too much.

A typical medical exam involves chest X-ray and general health check. If the applicants have a history of medical conditions, then there could be more specialist appointments to check on those conditions. Having a medical condition is NOT a cause for rejection. It has to meet certain conditions...

Short answer is, Yes, I got approved. I was on paternity leave and my parents already got PR. You can find the answer on "Income Sources for PGP" form. It states that EI payments "other than special benefits" must be reported. That's because "special benefits" under Employment Insurance Act...

Email is usually just a notification that there's a message in GCKey. The person who is linked to GCKey will get email as well. So, your worries are misplaced. As I said before, the person who understands the process should take charge and link to GCKey to stay on top of things.

That’s for you and your dad to decide. It makes sense to have someone, who understands the process and has a handle on English, links it to GCKey. Otherwise, someone else will have to look at it again anyway just to be sure.

Call CIC and ask for details on IME request. Call center agents can tell you what they did. That’s the fastest way to get accurate information. Another way is to contact CIC using webform. It’ll take much longer and requires an email address. So, if you choose the webform, at least write down...

I believe you are looking at the status on GCKEY/MyCIC account. They rarely update those status in online accounts. Mine was the same and they never changed it even after I got pre-arrival services letter and passport requests (which is after decision was made). It was still showing "We're...

Sorry to hear that. It’s very hard to deal with things like that. Go with option 2. Letting the application to fail is worse than voluntary withdrawal. Option 3 is not good either because CIC will find out about his conditions if they don’t already knew. Willfully omitting information IS the...

If I recall correctly, there’s only one upload field for each applicant. You may have to scan all PCs into single PDF file and upload it.

That’s not entirely true. Turn around time for “Rapid sputum test (aka) nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs).”; done in three consecutive days, is 24 hours. If rapid sputum tests came back positive, you’re put on a treatment plan immediately without having to wait 2 months. If NAATs came...

Your dad sputum tests must have came back negative already. You are waiting for “culture” results now. If they cannot grow anything from his sputum and the second X-ray indicates that there isn’t any noticeable change on his lungs, then that’d be the final result. There’s always a chance they...

It depends mostly on sputum test. Three consecutive sputum test is to see if there's any detectable culture in the sputum. If the sputum tested positive, your father would have been put on treatment plan immediately. So, his sputum test must have came back negative. But, they will grow culture...

I didn't send the certified copies of passport. But, my birth certificate was translated and notarised because it is in a language other than the two official languages of Canada - English and French. I'd advise you do the same at least for your birth certificate. I know the checklist states...

You are expected to provide a marriage certificate if you are sponsoring both of them. So, in your case, divorce paper is required. If you don't send it along with your application forms, CIC will ask for it later and it will only cause delay in processing. So, just send in all the supporting...
