December 24th OWP applicant, still no news.

We didn’t have ours returned but we submitted it separately a month later to Edmonton. It was accepted and we could link it shortly after we got AOR. Can’t speak to timeline though for a resubmission, I assume it goes back into the queue?

Great that you called and it’s being fixed! Has your status on your CIC account changed yet?

Any news on your medical? We submitted on Feb 22nd too but so far status in GCKey hasn't changed, still says "we have requested a medical exam". We sent copies of the receipts from the exam to IRCC within the 30 day period and I have proof from the clinic that the results were uploaded, but...

The doctor can give you a printout from eMedical which shows your exams are completed and the date they were uploaded. We have same situation as you, medical done Feb 12 and still no change in GCKey. I called IRCC and they said they have no record it was received yet, but eMedical printout from...

You mean you failed the medical? I thought that's generally not possible with excessive demand exempt (EDE) applicants like spousal sponsorship. What did they tell you? Or you failed to get OWP?

Thanks - did you get a notification message in your GCKey account once the status has changed to passed?

Edit: just saw your results are showing passed! Great news! Did your status change to "we have received your medical results" before changing to "passed"? Webform is here, it's a portal where you can send messages and copies of documents to IRCC...

We have the same situation - medicals done on Feb 12th and clinic says they were uploaded Feb 21st, but status on GCKey hasn't changed. I phoned the IRCC call center and the agent said there is no info on the file about the exam. He advised to submit copies of the receipts and invoices for the...

Thanks - it had seemed like other posters on the forum reported "medical results received" but wasn't sure where that should show up. MR was January 31st. I'll give it another day or two and if there's still no change will probably send all the receipts from the clinic to IRCC and a webform...

Do you know if your status in GCKey changed to "medical results received" as soon as your doctor submitted it? Our clinic claims they uploaded the exam results Feb 21 but as of today the 26th, GCKey still shows "we have requested a medical exam", system doesn't even show the results were received.

According to Foreign Affairs website you can mail documents: https://www.mofa.go.jp/ca/cs/page22e_000425.html#a03_01 You could also call and see if there is an office closer to you, they had one in Fukuoka when I was there but it's not mentioned on the website, which is odd. To be honest if I...

We did this in Canada but hopefully is applicable - my recollection is we took all koseki documents to a notary, who made certified copies. We then sent those copies to the translator, who noted in his affadavit that he used them for the translation, and included the certified copies in the...

MR received today, Jan 31st. AOR was Jan 15th, app received Nov 22nd.

If the OP is out of status, applying for OWP won't give implied status, since having valid status is required in order to be even eligible. The application will be rejected outright. The OP needs to apply for restoration of status as a temporary resident, assuming 90 days hasn't passed since...

Note that the affidavit/attestation by the translator is not the same as the certified copy, these are different things. If you're still in Japan I think it's the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that does certified copies of official documents, if you're in Canada any notary can do it.

We included a certified translation by a registered translator and certified copies of the koseki and kaiseigen koseki. We had three koseki documents: my wife's own koseki, her parents koseki when she was on it, and her parent's kaiseigen koseki. Our application was accepted as complete.

Yes sometimes an appeal to OERC is required because apparently Service Ontario doesn't understand its own rules well. It's always 3 months residency but you don't need to have PR to start counting those 3 months. For inland applicants it's AIP, there's a whole thread in the Health section about...

Ontario is actually AIP + 3 months, but from what I've read elsewhere people have to fight a bit so may only get it 1-2 months faster than if they were PR+ 3 months.

Yes, begin application number with F and try using PA's last name. Enter all their info (PA still), put 2 as number of applicants (if there is only PA and sponsor in app. If you have dependents, increase by this number).
