Hey Guys,
Can anyone please shed advice in my situation. My parents are in India right now. Sponsorship approval was done on Jan 28, 2015 and file was transferred to Ottawa. Like most people here, I am also waiting for medical requests from CIC. It doesn't look like CIC is actively working on parents immigration files and call center agents tells you wait time is 69 months as posted on the website. One can hope to receive medical request after 2-4 months of sponsorship approval or endlessly wait till 69 months without any right to question this delay.
I am not able to decide whether to call parents here on supervisa in the next two months or let them stay in India until they receive sponsorship medical request from CIC.
Suppose, If they arrive here on supervisa and sponsorship medical request comes right after, they would have to go back to India for medicals. My dad has some health issues for which I suspect he may require further specialist testing and could become expensive if done here in Canada, therefore I prefer to get their medicals done in India.
Not 100% sure if supervisa medicals will also work for sponsorship, neither sure if it is possible to have upfront medical for parents sponsorship as I read it is only for certain class of immigration (like spouse) as per this link
