Congrats to everyone whose files are moving forward! I went through my medical exam in Toronto yesterday. It was not only half the price of the closest examiner in the US, it was also only 1 hour total (including exam, chest x-ray and labs). Also, I still don't know why I never received a...

Thanks kipling; what makes my MR different from yours is that mine didn't even say that the form and instructions would follow the first email. Nowhere in my MR/RPRF email does it say anything about additional instructions or a form like the 1017E. The only mention of the actual exam is the part...

Always, something I unfortunately noticed after two years on this website is that some of the users are very rude, condescending and/or bitter. Many say things in a very antagonizing/critical way and I'm not sure they always realize it, particularly those for whom English is their second...

I should add this is the additional info to the email I received - the RPRF directions were far more clear/detailed than the medical exam directions!! · Medical examination for yourself http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp · Payment of Right of...

Thanks alwayspositive! That really is fascinating - the fact you got an email that stated instructions would follow and then got that second email. Mine was very different - the only mention it gave of the actual MR was that link I provided, and made no mention of additional medical...

The 'upfront' part was a typo on my end - wasn't thinking when I put that in there. This has all been extraordinarily confusing because the email CIC sent literally stated: · Medical examination for yourself http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp On that...

Also received my MR and RPRF this past Monday - things are starting to move!

Received my MR on Monday of this past week; the email also requested that I pay the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). My word of advice to anyone else in my shoes: If you are in the USA, be ready to deal with a lot of med examiners who don't know CIC's newest procedures. The hardest part...

com2canada, relax please - I think you misunderstood me. I was confused, not doubting the original poster's motives, intent or status. The condescension is not necessary on your end, nor is the lecture; I did see the "OR" (thanks) and last I checked I was simply asking the poster because I was...

This is interesting, but it confuses me. Did they not ask for an updated FBI background investigation/certificate as well? Also, you appear to be an FSW1, meaning you did not apply with a job offer in Canada in hand or a Canadian employer sponsoring you, and you didn't apply under the PhD...

Still waiting - applied in April 2011, application received by Sydney beginning of May 2011, AOR in June. It has been almost 28 months since my AOR, and 30 months since I applied. No MR yet but hoping that when I do get it, it will just be the MR. Some people on here have received requests from...

Still waiting - applied in April 2011, application received by Sydney beginning of May 2011, AOR in June.

Strange thing is, I have the same timeline as you two - applied March/April 2011, received AOR May 2011, RBVO June 2011, but unlike you both, I was never asked for fingerprints. I wonder why?

Deadsea, the other forum you link to is for applicants who are in India and other parts of the world, so their timelines are not applicable for comparison to ours. Canada divides PR applicants geographically by region. People in India are applying through the New Delhi Visa Office (VO), for...

PHILCAD, you and I have fairly similar stats. I'm an FSW1, applied March 2011, received first AOR May 2011, RBVO June 2011. Nothing since June 2011 and ECAS status is still RBVO. Every time I log into this site I get depressed because the timeline has extended; last time we were all hoping the...

Awesome. If that timeline for processing different classes is correct, those of us (including me) who are FSW1 and applied in 2011 will be the last of the last. I'm assuming FSW1 will be after FSW2 since we have specific skills/education but no job offer at the time we applied. Logically...

Iamlindayoung: Thanks for the timeline/info; I am exactly one year behind you in the process and if your timing still applies then I should get my med request some time around April or May of this year. Hopefully. Regarding your ECAS status, don't be concerned about CIC not updating that; my...

Andy: Good to know it isn't just me. Wucike: That is the same generic email response that I received when I emailed them almost a year ago to check on my file status. It is a generic form email response that they send to everyone who inquires.

You guys are all so lucky!! Take any email from Ottawa as a good sign - even if it isn't a med or PPR request and is only asking for an updated police certificate or job info. I applied April 2011 (FSW1) and haven't heard a thing since June 2011 when my status went RBVO. I'd love to get ANY...

Thanks Tej for the good information and clarification - that helps a lot. Alexalex, I'd say your times are pretty accurate. I'm not expecting med request for another 8-12 months. I applied April 2011 and I think I will be very lucky if I get to request for passport one year from now.
