I'm thinking they probably hired some new, better employees. It would make sense for the same case worker to work on each file start to finish. The ones who were working there before september are still working at their usual snail's pace, and the newbies are blasting through everything making...

Yes, his AIP email asked for a new medical. We got it done on the 25th and sent them the receipts through a case specific enquiry today. Hopefully that means we're in the home stretch! I'll honestly be amazed if we get a decision made that quickly. We were expecting to wait another year at least.

Great, thank you very much! Since he received AIP already, would it be safe to assume that the medical will be the last thing they need from us before approving our application? Would they have asked for additional background checks at the same time if they needed it?

I forgot to add - the email we got from CIC said this: So it seems like I should include scans of our receipts from the medical as well as a copy of the PDF that CIC sent us, with a note saying the medical was completed at an office that is set up for e-Medical. Does that sound about right...

Took the trip up to Calgary today to get my husband's medical done again. We went through a doctor who was set up for e-Medical and the receptionist told us it would be sent automatically to CIC once the lab results come in. We kept our receipts just in case. Should we send a case specific...

Just adding on - you can apply at any stage as long as you hold valid status in Canada. They won't let your sponsor add you to their alberta health care without proof of valid status. We got it all sorted out at the license bureau.

Was he out of status once the work permit expired? Did he have legal status in Canada when you sent the application in? If he was out of status when you sent the application in November, he's unfortunately not eligible for the pilot program OWP until after he receives approval in principle. It...

Alright, my husband got his medical done today! We were told it would all be sent through automatically to CIC once the lab results are in. Is there anything else we need to do at this point? Should we scan in our receipts and send them along with a case specific inquiry just to be sure it is...

We got an email for each.

The same thing happened to us, almost! The main difference is that we sent the restoration of status and the work permit forms together in the same package along with the explanation for loss of status. I'm glad you got the work permit - it's such a relief!

I'm sorry it took so long to get AOR! That must have been stressful. Your time starts from the day CIC received your package, so yes your application is 11 months old.

The receptionist wasn't too helpful honestly - she just said to make sure he brought his passport and that they were set up for eMedical. Then she mentioned bringing "official documents" and the form that was emailed to us for use with eMedical. I'm not sure what she means by "official...

My husband and I applied inland back in September. The medical we did up-front has since expired (he did it several months before he arrived in Canada) and after receiving AIP we were asked to send in a new, up to date medical within 30 days. We have to drive 3 hrs to the nearest major city...

It will likely take some time still. We sent our application out back in September and just received approval in principle a week ago. You're basically waiting until you pass first stage approval - which can take up to 16 months but seems to be moving a bit faster this year. In the meantime, I...

Hey everyone! Quick question - what can we expect for my husband's medical tomorrow? Do we need to bring new photos with us, or will they take them at the office (it's set up for e-medical)? He did his last medical back in Austria before he came to Canada. We're just not sure if it is the same...

I guess the main issue is.. why would he want to stay in Canada at all, if he only moved there to be with his spouse? That's sort of the point of family sponsorship, isn't it? Keeping families together? Or did he have ulterior motives when moving to Canada? He may lose his PR for violating the...

You'll be fine, as long as you can provide evidence that your spouse will be taken care of once they get here. I was unemployed when we applied and was approved fairly quickly. We included a couple of signed letters from my parents (who we live with currently) stating they were willing to help...

We just got AIP and they requested new medicals a few days ago - those will be done on Wednesday next week, and if all goes well he will have his PR within the next few months. We got word recently that my husband's grandmother is really not doing well at all. She's 90 years old and has been...

I'm torn. I'm really glad to have a government that actually cares about meeting the policies they laid out during the election, but I wasn't expecting them to go about it this way. I hope it's something more innocent than that. Maybe they hired someone new and that person is so efficient that...

It's best if your immediate family can come - it lets CIC know that you have family support and that your relationship is known to/supported by your friends + family. Of course, that's not always possible for everyone, especially when cross-continental marriages take place! Flights and hotels...
