My clinic also uses e-medical and when i asked them about this, they mention that they will upload in less than a week as long as they received blood and X-ray reports.

I guess that you should see you the third line in at least two weeks after they upload your report. However, this is all my guess

Dear peers,

Do you have experience how long does it take from completion of medical exam to the third line? I finished my exam on April 30, but still has not seen any updates on my status.

The clinic is using e-medical, so I assume it would submit my result right away? Or should I double check with them?

Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you so much and i wish you the best of luck in the remaining process of your application.

Yes, you are correct. I never had any request for additional/supportive documents. Right from the time the application was received (Sept 29, 2014) to the time visas were issued, i was never asked to proof anything or send in any document for clarification. I guess they were satisfied with what i submitted.

My nationality: I am from Nigeria.

Again, i wish you success in your application.

You will be Canada-bounded very soon.

Congratulations!!

Just one question though, did you submit Police clearance certificate with your application or you submitted it during processing?

1. Phone the CIC Call Centre at 1-888-242‑2100.
2. E-mail is always more efficient, but if you clearly wrote your case number and UCI on your documents when you put them in the mail, they must have received them.
3. They normally read your emails, but they reply very selectively. You might never receive a response, or receive a very slow one.
4. Yes it is.

Hi,

Could somebody please help me with this situation?

I got an email from CPC-O on March 31 2015 to provide the following:
1· PhD program info (field of study+supervisor info+CV+publications)
2· Medical examination
3· Payment of Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF)

I sent the hard-copy of (phD program info) and (RPRF) via mail to CPC-O per their request.
However on CIC online service webpage I only see "Medical results have been received". But not my (phD program info) and (RPRF).
My FEDEX online tracking shows they received the hard-copies on April 10 2015. It is one month passed and no updates from them yet.

Question1: Does anyone know How can I make sure they received my (phD program info) and (RPRF)?
Question2: Did I have to email the softcopies of (phD program info) and (RPRF) as well?
Question3: How can I contact CPC-O? Can I sen emails to "CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca"? Do they reply?
Question4: Is it normal that 1 month has passed from receipt of hard copies by CPC-O and I did not become PR yet?

Hi Forum,

I'm a Nov 10 applicant and got my medical yesterday.

I didn't submit my police certificate with my documents, and they asked for it. This is what they asked
"
Police Certificates:

Please be advised that Police Certificates must be submitted as ORIGINAL documents, in their original PAPER format.

We do not accept scanned copies. This document with the certified translation must be sent via postal or courier service to our office at the following address
"
Currently, I have the certified translation attached to a scanned copy of the original (non-English) police certificate. The certified translation has all the required stamps proofing that it is original, but I don't have the original non-English police certificate. My question is should I send the certified translation with the attached copy of the original police certificate, or I should get the original (non-English) one (which is not in Canada right now) and include it in my mailing package.

Thanks,

 

[phemdorc]

Congratulations!!

Just one question though, did you submit Police clearance certificate with your application or you submitted it during processing?

Yes, PCCs (from 4 countries: Nigeria, UK, USA, and Canada) were submitted with the application on the Sept 29th, 2015

Hi Seniors,
Please, i know i have asked this question before but is still need further clarification.
I just received our PPs (me and my wife) backed from CIC with the CoPR documents that we need to tender at port of entry. We are planning to use this weekend to land and i will be driving to the Canada-US border nearest to my city.
I used to have a US visa but it is now expired.
Please, do i need to obtain another US visa before i go? Many people have said no, that i don't need a US visa to do this but i still want other people's opinion as well so that i do not get stranded or frustrated when i get to the border.
Please, your prompt response will be appreciated.
If you have personally undergone this process before (landed at a port of entry without needing a US visa) and everything went well, please inbox me your number so i can give you a call to ask for procedures and regulations at the border.
Thank you so much.
God bless you all and for those still waiting for one step or the other, we are in in accord supporting you with our prayers. Very soon you will be Canada-bounded.

For landing, you go to the US port (you don't need US visa), tell them that you are there for landing. Show your CoPR. They will give you random refusal letter to enter US and return to Canada border. Canada side, they ask refusal letter, and welcome you back. As I know, it will be pretty easy.

Hi everybody,

May I ask what this quote means?

"A note added May 11, 2015 indicates that the Right of Permanent Residence Fee will be requested"

Thanks in advance!
