2014 FSW Mexico City applicants

[dalila82]

I was going to ask the same. Have anyone received MR in the last days?

Not yet, for me it's been 95 days, but Eduardo JRP and lifeisgood have been waiting longer so I hope they are just getting their strength to send all the MR emails at once
Best luck for you all

I just did the medicals this weekend, seems that everything turned up fine, I just wanted to update all of the mexico vo applicants on this thread!

Congrats! I believe you will be the first friend in this forum to get the Visa stamped!

May I ask you a couple of questions?

Is there a particular reason why you waited 2 weeks to make your medicals because you got your meds request weeks ago?

How many pesos the medicals cost here in Mexico?

One question, once I receive the Mexico pcc, do I have to translate it?

There are polarized opinions on that subject.

The document that VO sends requesting PCC clearly states that all documents not in English or French must be translated.
However, there are people in the Mexico thread over at the Family Sponsorship forum that only sent the original Spanish document and got PPR

My point of view is that it is better to translate the PGR PCC to show you are a good law-abiding and instruction-following citizen, and that you deserve the visa. If VO doesn't need it, fine, but at least you followed orders. (This was my reasoning, I did translate the document before sending)

Hi guys!

This is the entrance to the visa section of Canada Embassy in Mexico City.
Here our dreams are residing, waiting for an officer to open our files and process them hopefully as fast as possible.

Really? Wow that is expensive! 10k pesos for only one person????

We are applying as a family: me, my husband, our baby girl. We will spend a fortune in medicals.

Thought I'd chime in for a moment:

You should be ok if you don't.

There are polarized opinions on that subject.

The document that VO sends requesting PCC clearly states that all documents not in English or French must be translated.
However, there are people in the Mexico thread over at the Family Sponsorship forum that only sent the original Spanish document and got PPR

The reason no translation 'works' specifically for PGR police certificates is because they are the exception to the rule (other countries don't require official government request letters to issue the police certificate). As a result, people who don't live in Mexico have the Embassy of Canada in Mexico process them (and therefore, input them into the system). Therefore, the processing of Mexican police certificates is centralized by the Embassy of Canada in Mexico who know them well (and where those processing them are fluent in Spanish). So, it's all about the 'quirk' Mexican PCC's represent.

My point of view is that it is better to translate the PGR PCC to show you are a good law-abiding and instruction-following citizen, and that you deserve the visa. If VO doesn't need it, fine, but at least you followed orders. (This was my reasoning, I did translate the document before sending)

Perfectly understandeable If anyone's application ever goes into an appeal's process it would mean the record would have the translated PCC.

Also keep in mind that traditionally CIC seems to be more of a stickler for rules for skilled worker applications than family class applications (as you all know, blank fields result in skilled worker apps being sent back whereas that is very rarely the case for family class applicants; instead a simple update request is typically made).

I think pepeflakes got medicals for more than 1 person. In our case, it was around 3,000 mxp per person (a couple of months ago)
