I wouldn't bother... What country are you applying from? Does it normally take a long time to renew and get your passport? July 2019 is a long way away from Sept 2017- but it still may be an idea to apply for a new one while your application is process and then just update your visa office with...

I think it's best to get one... even if you end up not needing it. I believe it's free if it's required for immigration purposes- you just need to be in Canada to submit the prints electronically without the cost of a 3rd party doing it for you. I especially recommend doing it, if for whatever...

Interesting how different it is for different types of applications. Sorry for the confusion - I assumed because this thread was in the Family Sponsorship forum, that everyone was following sponsorship guidelines.

I think one can either submit upfront with their app, or submit without, and then wait for the form/request from CIC.... http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

Done! :)

Unfortunately, nobody who sent their application in 2017 has received their passport request as yet. You can have a look at the spreadsheet (there are different tabs at the bottom) at the KVO average wait-times to get an idea of what averages there are available so far, and compare them to 2016...

Yes, it seems to be that many visa offices are in a similar stand-still situation right now...

At what point did they ask for them, Smithd? At the same time they asked for the medicals?

As with the above poster- you may want to ask if the Visiting Canada forum. However- did you know that unlike regular EI benefits, that while on mat leave you are entitled to leave Canada/travel and still receive your benefits? Just as an idea in case your husband isn't able to come to Canada.

My husband just called for an update and was told that they are finalizing May 11th recipients today, and that they should be on May 17-18 by the start of next week.

Oh wow! This is such great news!!! You must be thrilled. So exciting. Finally. :D There was a delay because they waited so long to ask for the dependents medicals, correct? Didn't the meds pass the beginning of June? Can't believe they took so long to request the passport. But that is all in the...

Nice! Thank you for sharing... hopefully that means mine will get done and set out this week. I wonder how long it takes mail to reach BC from Virginia...

Yes, they did.

When you call does anyone answer, or is it a per-recorded message?

Hey! Nobody replied to my question in the Family Sponsorship forum, so I hope you don't mind me asking here. My husband has submitted his fingerprints to the RCMP. We know he has a match in the system for overstaying a visa. We also know that as per their website, the RCMP recommends that it...

Yes- that is the same number someone on here suggested to call.

Welcome :) Feel free to join the other thread we have going over here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/kingston-jamaica-new-application-as-of-dec-7-2016.487168/page-16 If you have a look at the spreadsheet in my signature, it'll give you a good...

How come you have a deadline to submit your application? Or have you already submitted, and have been asked by your visa office to submit additional documents by a certain date? If that's the case- just contact your visa office and explain the situation. From my own experience, and from what...

I was hopeful :D I thought perhaps since last Wednesday they were on May 5th, and today May 10th that they worked on 8th and 9th over the weekend. ;) Always makes me laugh how the government is so slow to process things, but when they want something from us, we get no such time.

I wonder if they process applications over the weekend as well?
