I have a question. How does CPP send MR? By mail or E-mail?

I've done the medical exam. 180 dollars for 30 minutes. She touched my belly 3 times and auscultated my heart and lungs. Absurdly expansive, just blew my mind. I talked to her about my blood disorder, and gave her my reports from the last 2 years so she sees that is not a big deal and it is totally under control and it is very cheap to treat (medicine is about 30 dollars a month). I will probably need further appointments, according to her, so I better prepare myself to renew my study permit and visa by May, as I don't think I will get anything before then. She will take about 2-3 weeks to send the documents to Ottawa. The place was packed, next open spot from today was in 12 days, I heard the secretary saying!!! Now going to the X-ray and blood/urine tests after lunch.

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for the very good forum. I wish I had found this earlier!

I applied in August 2012, and got rejected in Nov 2012 because I didn't provide any work experience. I thought the letter of attestation would be enough...

I have applied again with TA/RA and 3 years proof of other work experience. My application was received on Jan 31. Nothing else yet of course.

I have a question regarding the bank statement. Should the ~13k be necessarily in a "savings" account or does it matter if it is in a chequing account? What if during the course of application you go below the treshhold sometimes and go up again? Do they look at the average, or minimum balance?

Thanks, and good luck to everyone!

Thanks TyrusX, this is very informative and hopefully you will get PR soon without any complications.

TyrusX, how did you get your MR ? mail or email ?

e-mail. But you decide this when you apply. I see you are a late June applicant, I don't think you have to worry about that in the next 2-3 months.

It doesn't matter if the money is sitting in the "saving account" or the "checking account" as long as it is transferrable, and it is ok to go below or over the required minimum amount as long as this "going below" is not a big amount. They will look at both the average as well as the minimum amount.

Cheers.

$180 is good, I was charged $250 for medical exam + $100 for lab test + $40 for x-ray. Maybe that's why they booked me for the same day I called.

Hi JVJ, can you fill in the missing details (nationality, time credit card got charged, etc)?

So you spent 390 + tax for medical exam? That's quite excessive, though apparently you were probably doing it at some private institution, since they let you do it the same day?

Why was she expecting re-medical? Was it because of the disorder? If Ottawa did not go back to slumber (though if they do, it wouldn't surprise me to be honest), I don't think it would take that much longer between your medical and passport request. I wonder though, what if your passport is with them while your visa and permit are getting expired? Would you still have to renew them?

That's actually what I paid the first time I applied: $350. It was not a private institution either and like TyrusX it took about 20 minutes for the physical exam.

it is not re-medical, but further appointment because of my disorder. Let see. I'm done with every thing 265 was the final cost.

What kind of disorder? Are you a guy or girl? Aren't you from Brazil? There's a list of diseases somewhere that make someone ineligible for PR. Check it out. If your doctor said it's not something to worry about, I guess it's not anything serious.
