congratulations je leni g,
how long it take to passport request after additional doc's request ??
share your experience
Thanks,Kabir!

We were not requested for additional documents but there was additional medical exam for my mom. She had sputum test and xray after 2 months from sputum. The last xray was done on Aug. 24, 2015 and i received the passport request on Sept. 30, 2015, five weeks from last xray.

You can also check the spreadsheet for the timelines.

Just found out from physician that CIC is waiting for additional chest tests via chest specialist. I was not asked and did not receive any email requesting additional tests. My mom did her medical in June in Canada and now she is in Pak. How would I get the tests done? Anyone ever be in same boat. How would we know which tests and what exactly need to be done when we have not rec'd any correspondence explaining what is required?

hi chotis
If your visa office is Ottawa, then why did your parents sent their passport to ND. Are they in India. do you have dependant and did they ask any additional doucments.

When it says:

We started processing your application on March 16, 2015.

Any ideas what this means.. is it considered a file transfer or just a queue ?

please advise.

It's a good sign. they will ask following docs in future:

1) medical or remedical
2) updated docs and police certificate or may b proof of relationship again
3) after medical received, n if all updated docs received by them n no issue found then they will ask for current copies of passports
4) request for original passport submission

Hopefully, this process now will not take more than 4-5 months... keep chk ur email on regular basis.


Good luck!

Hi, Coming back on this forum after almost 2-3 years. This forum helped me a lot during my spousal application. I need some help again with my mother's application.

I applied in March 2011 to sponsor my mom. I received addition doc request in 2013. My mom is on a visitor visa with me and OTTAWA is our visa office instead of new delhi. Few days ago, I received a letter saying that my application has been forwarded to OTTAWA and they have requested an Upfront Medical Exam. Is this the same kind of exam that other people get during their application process? Should I expect that they will request my mother's passport soon?

Thanks

I requested and received GCMS notes for the second time. I don't see any updates on the notes.
It still says "referred to secondary review due to family size increase".
Why are they not contacting me for any additional documents?
Are there any other options for me at this point??

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum & i need of your help badly

My sister received a letter from canadian immigration indicating that she met the eligibility as a sponsor & that our file was transferred to colombo. Further it says the requirement for medical exams but thats all. There were no forms for medical or the list of panel doctors.

Is this the medical request or do we have to wait until our lvo contact us for the medical

our letter was dated on 15 th of sep. But received it today only. So this is a bit urgent.

the letter further states that the med should be forwarded witn the letter to the lvo.

please advice

Hi Everyone,

I order GCMS note and received today. We were asked to do upfront medical which we did and submitted on 16 June 2015. In gcms note I found that they asked for more document which we never received mail or email.
Applicant sent FC4 Mail out request letter by mail on June 17, 2015. The mail address used was the primary mail address recorded in GCMS. The mail merge template document is save in the New Dehli "XXXXXXXXX" drive. At the time of this entry into notes, there i no indication that the mail address was not valid, or the email was otherwise undelivered. In the bul mail-out, the applican was requested to provide the following within 60 days: - Updated IMM008 - Schedule A form for PA and for all dependents over the age of 18. - Additional Family information form (IMM5406) for PA and for all deps over the age of 18. - The documents listed below: " Docs requested as part of the checklist:** - valid Mailing address - Valid email address if available = Relationship docs for sponsor and accompanying family members - Educational docs and Educational history form for dependents - New PCCs if copies on file are more than 12 months old. - Travel history form for PA and deps over the age of 18 - RPRF if not already paid. - Three (3) updated photos for all applicants - Photocopies of passport bio page, back page, and endorsements applicable: original death certificate of spouse WARNING PROVIDED: if you are unable to submit some or any of the documents listed in the Document Checklist within 60 days, you MUST advise us of the delay and provide reasons (with proof) for the delay. If you do not inform us of the delay, the application will be asessed based on the documents and information on file and it may result in the refusal of your application.
Please help me is this automatic email to everyone or I should end this document again which I have send it last Oct 2014. thanks
