Hi, I am just wondering if anyone else had issues with ordering GCMS notes. I requested them via email back in June for my parents' immigration case (asked for electronic files only, not paper, sent all the forms and $5 fee, always got auto-response emails confirming delivery - so sounds pretty...

Probably depends on doctor's diligence or interpretation of the handbook ;D By the way, what about prostate exam for men? Do you know if your dad had to undergo one during the medical exam or provide any evidence of having it done recently somewhere else? The DMP handbook seems to imply it has...

This is awesome - CONTRATULATIONS! And surprisingly fast! Do you have your timeline in the spreadsheet? When was your case transferred to Moscow office?

Yes, probably they do not do it if less than 70. We will see how it goes for us - my mom is under 70 and my dad is 71 :) But my friend did say that when she made an appointment the receptionist asked up front if her mom is over 70 or under 70 as the cost was slightly different (maybe because...

Thanks! Did you parents have to do the 'mental status check' questions/ tasks? A friend of mine just took her mother to do medicals (she is over 70 but is totally fine physically and mentally). Anyway, because she is over 70, the doctor asked her do to certain things to check her mental status...

Question to those whose parents did medical exam in Canada: do your parents speak English or did your doctor speak their language? Or did you translate everything for them during the exam? I am trying to figure out how it is going to work (my parents do not speak English and there are no DMPs...

One more question: what did this $200 fee include? Is it doctor's visit fee (a specialist or the same DMP you initially went to?) DOes this fee include x-ray or just the 'talking to the doctor' part? I know the costs will vary from region to region and doctor but just want to get an idea (to be...

Oh my :-( Just what I was afraid of... I do know some people who had to do those multiple x-rays for visitor visa too (parents of a friend, back in their home country). They applied for a visitor visa back home, were asked to go through medical and because of those lung spots on xray they were...

Can anyone remind me what their target was for the year? Was it 25K or something? Hopefully they did all the ground work in the first 6-8 months and now the visas will start coming more frequently! CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who saw progress in their cases recnetly and especially those who...

CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks! Please let me know once you have more info...$200 extra ...ouch that hurts (I have 2 parents, so double for the medical already ... and all the other fees of course...) Dont' even want to think what if they ask for a specialist etc...

Thanks so much for you reply! We are in a similar situation (my dad also had a similar issue 50 years ago so your case is very relevant!) Did your mom do this additional respitory test here in canada? (what is it by the way - is it a sputum test or whatever it is called?) I assume you had to pay...

Sorry I cannot comment on the diabetes/ kidney part (just wishing your friend luck!) But I just wanted to aks a question. So, so your friend's parents did their medical in Canada while visiting but now they are going home. Were they already asked to do more tests? Are they going to have to do...

Yes, I feel very relieved that at least this little step can be checked off (this year has been a bit complicated for us with a lot of delay and document hassles and some otehr issues so I really need those positive bits to lift my spirits and help ease my worries a bit!).

Just wanted to give an update: today I finally received a reply to my email to LVO (regarding my earlier mailed police certificates) and they finally confirmed that they located them and that there is no need to send new ones! Such a good news for me (one less hassle and more than $300 in...

FOr me it was a couple of weeks (and it was around easter time so the mail seemed to take longer)

My parents' file is currently at LVO and they just recently send us an email saying that medical forms were mailed to us (and requested PCC). So I assume we have to wait untill we get the actual forms by mail (which may take a while because our mailing address is in canada, not in my parents...

useful piece of info! Thanks

Yes, that is how I understood too. Was just wondering how (a special letter or fax or somethign else?) Anyway, not yet relevant for me unfortunately (still a long way to go... plus we are at LVO so they may not be that accomodating). But I guess I should start worrying about that when we get...

CONGRATULATIONS! Did they know that your mom is in Canada currently? Did you emphasize this in your application? Sounds like you did mention it somehow but I am just wondering where you specified that and at what stage (my parents are currently in Canada visiting for several months and we are...
