Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (H1B Holders) CIC Process

[ingegarcia]

You look for a designated doctor in your region (see link below) and make appointment. For the appointment you'll need 2 photos for each person (passport photos should be ok). photo-ids (passport or driver license), the forms that CIC sent to you and most important cash or check... For my medicals the doctor did not accept credit card...
In MA I paid for the medicals us$350 plus 25 dollars for express service, which includes tracking number and usps express mail...
The exams took around 1 hour and they did blood pressure, chest x-ray, urine and blood test..

Hi Nix,

Not to worry at all!! I had the same concern with photo background and also did the same as you for the check and photos (envelope).

I got my application returned from CIC with a note to update dates and sign, but there was absolutely no mention of anything regarding the photos or anything else. They are probably a bit flexible about such things Anyways, I resent my application and just found out from my bank that the check was cashed. So now, I just have to wait for AOR (fingers crossed).

Good luck to us all!

Thanks mango.lassee and thanks for giving me an assurance that everything is going to be all right. I really needed that.

If I may, I would like to ask you a question to get some ideas on timeline. After how many days of receiving the application did they cash the check?

I would appreciate if others who have recieved the AORs or know when their checks were cashed answered the above question. that woul dgive me some ideas on when to call my bank. Thanks

 

[mango.lassee]

In my case, they cashed it about 15 days after I re-sent it.

Thanks. Hope you will receive your AOR and medicals soon. Wish you all the best. Take care.

Day 1: Application Recieved by CIC
By Day XX: Application returned due to omission/others.
Day 15-20: Check/MO cashed if Application was not returned.
Day 60-70: AOR Recieved.
Day XX - XX : Request for Medical recieved.
Day XX - XX : PR recieved.

I don't think anybody has reached till PR under H1B SRS program. Certain filipinos has reached this level but under employer driven stream and stamping from Manila.

Mr Governor, for once I got to disagree with you. See the post below from Nix

CIC application mailed by USPS Priority Certified: March 24, 2009
CIC application reached Buffalo NY: March 26,2009
Check encashed: April 3, 2009

Virgin application - No FSW.

 

[nomad_musafir]

The lady at my bank (Wachovia) confirmed that the check was encashed. Then she asked me, would you like a print. On the back of the check is my File # Bxxxxxxxxx.

Even though I knew it was too early, I tried it out as 'Immigration File Number' on the 'Client Application Status' page, and the result was, as expected, not found.

Congratulations! At least now you can sleep well knowing that your application package will not be returned. They cashed the check in about 8 days from the date the received it. I will have to call my bank in about a week, may be next Thursday or Friday.

Thank you Nix1,
Looks like shortened FSW list is helping speed up the CIC process for us
