Hi GREEK2CAN,

You may receive your medical forms within two weeks. If your documents are coherent and well represented and your documents are good, it means that there no question mark on any detail every thing is clear and convincing then Your medicals are on their way to you.

For the landing fees as the others told you, you can pay them at any time but the best way is to pay them before even getting the medical request otherwise they will sent you a reminder along with the medicals.

I have one piece of advice, FORGET ABOUT THE RESULTS AND REQUESTS FOR A WHILE AND LIVE YOUR LIFE NORMALLY THEN FROM TIME TO TIME CHECK YOUR E-MAIL BOX EVEN WITHOUT THINKING TO THEM. YOU WILL SEE THINGS WILL COME EASIER.

Hi Paco, You were connected to TRAKITT.COM you got your visa it is very good. But where are you now, did you land in Canada or not yet otherwise where in Canada.

Bye,

Hi GREEK2CAN,

Normally if your medicals are ok and your judiciary background ( criminality!! what do we call it !!) is okay then your PR is allowed. All the problem is the waiting time. It is killing !!

Hi Imanova,

it is good you came back. Today I took the x-ray. Results will be available for the end of this week. Please pray for me!!!

Yes, the DMP is on the list of CIC.
Mistakes were attached to the medical history we described to the doctor but hopefully we tackled them all.
We got receipt of X-ray and will get of urine & blood but I'm afraid we won't have any about the general medical examination cost 150E.

It is good to hear you paid around 205 E for 3 people. Then they didn't really counting it as per person but per examination only.

Best wishes to All of you!!!

Please Help!

Hi,

I have applied thru Paris Visa office as well.

I have been notified to pay Rprf which I did in Canadian dollars by Bank transfer.

I would appreciate it very much if you could advice me whether they will accept it or they will tell me to send it in Euros?

Thanx

Hi Granada,

gud 2 hear frm someone applied through paris VO, since this thread was in a sleep mode for sometime...

i am still waiting for my medicals request, it been almost 3 months since i received the 2nd AOR. could you please let me know if you have completed ur medicals, if so, how much time did it take for the medicals request since the 2nd AOR etc.,

all this information will be helpful.

regarding your query i wont think it would be an issue since embassy would prefer in CAD and they accept Euros as well so i hope this should be fine.

cheers! & all the best!

Hi Gre2can,

Thanx for the reply.

It took 2 and half months for us to get the medical request after 2nd AOR. We have got the appointment for next week.

Rprf also came along with that.

So we send it in cad to the bank in paris. Later, we found out that the website indicates 360 Euros has to be paid to be equivalent of 980 CAD. This was not mentioned in our letter from Paris and that meant we had sent lesser amount when converted in Euros as it was a European bank. Besides, our bank informed that according to the new rule, commission will be deducted from both parties which cannot be avoided. This would mean that we will not be sure whether we have sent the exact amount or not. So to avoid all these problems, and to prevent our fees from returning, we have cancelled the transfer.

It appears that it is better to pay by a certified cheque or draft.

Now the problem is that we are not sure whether we should make the cheque payable to canadian embassy or receiver general for Canada?
I couldnt copy the link so i have pasted the page from website for France.

It Says..


In Euros
In cash. Applicants who submit their application in person at the Embassy may pay the processing fees in cash.

Reminder: All applications should be sent by mail. Only urgent applications for temporary resident (visitor) visas, study permits, work permits (other than Youth Mobility Programs), or travel documents for permanent residents returning to Canada may be submitted in person. All applications for permanent resident visas must be sent by mail; fees for permanent residence applications cannot be paid in cash.
By bank transfer, to the following account:
Transfer to: Immigration Section - Canadian Embassy, Paris, France
Bank: BRED Banque Populaire 66 Ave des Champs-Elysées, 75008 Paris
For transfers from within France:
RIB: Bank (10107); branch (00138); account (00623006604); key (72)
For transfers from a country other than France :
IBAN (International Bank Account Number): FR76 1010 7001 3800 6230 0660 472
BIC code (Swift): BREDFRPP

Information that will allow us to identify the principal applicant (the person applying for a visa) must be provided with the transfer: family name, given name(s) and date of birth.

Important: Please ensure that all transfer fees have been paid and that they will not be deducted from the amount payable to the Embassy. The transfer must be annotated “free of charge to the beneficiary”.

If you pay by bank transfer, proof of payment (receipt issued by the bank) must be attached to the application form. The receipt must be legible and must show the date of the transfer. Please keep a copy for your own files before sending the receipt.

In Canadian Dollars
In cash: applicants who submit their application in person at the Embassy may pay processing fees in cash.

Reminder: All applications should be sent by mail. Only urgent applications for temporary resident (visitor) visas, study permits, work permits (other than Youth Mobility Programs), or travel documents for permanent residents returning to Canada may be submitted in person. All applications for permanent resident visas must be sent by mail; fees for permanent residence applications cannot be paid in cash.
By bank draft or certified cheque drawn on a Canadian bank and made out to the Canadian Embassy. Cheques issued in Canadian dollars by a bank located outside of Canada must clearly indicate the bank correspondent’s complete address and account number in Canada, this being the establishment through which the cheque may be cashed in Canada.

The bank draft or certified cheque must be sent with the application. Any cheque that is not certified, or any postal money order will be returned to the applicant with the application

Do you have any idea?

hi
the easiest way is to pay by bank transfer ,in euros. & inform the bank that you will pay all the rates , so they will transect the transfer fees from your account only, you will have to pay about 745 euros.

Hi Friends,

We did our medicals 4 days back. it came around 380 euros for 3 of us.

Medicals went out fine and we made arrangement for it to be sent by dhl. It'll reach Paris by tomorrow.

Problem is with the proof of payment which has not reached there yet. We had sent it by postal express.

keeping our fingers crossed..

Regards
