Hi Kg,

I would say, start looking at NOC list from www.cic.ca and identify which NOC suits your brother the most and decide the chances by yourself.

You have just started your journey and I hope that it will be exciting for you!!! :)

Regards,
satya.

I agree with Satya.....and you know better from this forum that checking the NOC list is the starting place....I would also urge him to go through the list ASAP because if he qualifies now then he should not waste any time applying for PR. The rules will/might change next year with the imposition of very strict ones...including the point system.

Oh yes, it has sunk in and concerns are overpowering enthusiasm right now.....But I'm in no hurry.....I have time till mid-2012 to plan out everything.......and of course you are there to help me out ;)........

Thanks again.

Thanks, Paramvir.

RPRF got encashed on Oct. 21st and MR line appeared on Oct. 23rd. Address didn't disappear at any time. In fact, ECAS is still 'In Process'.

I might be jumping to a conclusion too soon but it seems that applicants who've been through an interview (telephonic or physical) had to face longer timeline from inprocess to getting Visa.

What say?

Hello All,

A quick question:

Since I am in canada for the past 2 and half years and was in US for 5 years, Will my meds request be waived?

The reason why am I asking this is, When we applied for Work permit to enter canada, Since we were in US for more than a year, Medical request has been waived. In the same week, my colleague came from India and when he applied for WP, he was asked to go for Medical check up. So, Will this apply to PR as well since we are already in canada for the past 2 and half years and they may have access to our medical history?

Just a thought. What say?

Thanks,
satya.
 
Medicals are a requirement for everyone applying for PR regardless of where you have lived, bad health surrounds everyone not just particular countries

I agree with you Rod. My lawyer has clearly told me during WP application that medical request is waived for me and my wife since we were in US for more than a year and the same lawyer has asked for colleague who is coming from India to go through the medical check up. So, I think medical check up rules varies from Country to Country in terms of WP which gives me an idea that Medical request rules for WP varies from PR.

Do you think this could be true? I may be wrong. Just to find out due to curiosity.

Thanks,
satya.

Hi Satya,

You are correct in saying that Meds ARE DEFINITELY waived for applicants moving from developed countries like US, if their stay has been over a year. I am a 100% sure of this because I had specifically asked for Meds and was informed that its not required as I had been living in US for more than a year. It seems one year is time enough to quarantine communicable diseases...esp TB. Also, if working in US, one has to clear Meds which includes Testing for TB; I am not sure about Syphilis testing, if its done with or without consent. I would have remembered if there was any testing for Syphilis.....so this was not tested.

However, the situation is different for PR applicants living in Canada. If one is a TFW, then the stay of that person is limited but in case of PR the stay is PERMANENT and thus CIC would want to be sure if the applicant is bringing any Medical burdens (including specific Syphilis) to Canada...and also maintain a record of such cases.

Entemaria, was on WP for over a year and he was asked for Meds....so yes! Meds will not be waived for applicants living in Canada.
