It took a week for the second line to show up for us after it was transferred, it could take longer than that so don't worry
Yes I uploaded it on GIC account when i received an email from IRCC to submit additional documents(PCC AND SCHEDULE A)
Please check my replies to your queries inline in the quote above. Also, here is how it got processed for me till step 4. I hope step 5 onwards, it is how I have listed
Thank you so much for spending time to reply in such a detail. Highly appreciate it. However I haven't receievd any medical request so I guess I cant submit it either (until CIC requests).Please check my replies to your queries inline in the quote above. Also, here is how it got processed for me till step 4. I hope step 5 onwards, it is how I have listed
Assuming your file is yet to be transferred to your relevant VO and Medicals is yet to be done as per your signature
1. Complete the medicals
2. Medicals received and/or Medicals Passed status update in ecas and MYCIC a/c
3. After 2-3 days, You will get an email saying that your file is transferred.
4. Your spouse or principal applicant will get AOR2 from the VO. Probably 5-10 days from the file transfer notification. In ecas, it will state that they started processing the principal applicant's application with date of AOR2. In MyCIC, Background Check will turn to "Not Applicable".
5. Your background check will turn to "In Progress" after 1-3 months from receiving AOR2 in MYCIC and in ecas, not too sure what will show here.
6. You may receive decision made on the same day of background check in progress or probably, 10-15 days from background check in progress. In ecas, decision made for Principal applicant and in MyCIC, Background Check, review of eligibility, Application Status, Final Decision, and other items should show done/completed/passed/approved
7. Passport Request for stamping with/without photos. Probably 10-15 days from Decision Made or on the same day.
8. Visa issued with validity of your medicals. Probably 10-15 days from receiving your passport
9. Landing
10. Yay!!!!
P.S. Hopefully no interview is required. Also, please check if biometrics is needed for the principal applicant's country. If yes, I suppose you will receive instructions. My spouse is in India and it is not needed
Again, as I mentioned, I got my AOR2. And my background check is "NOT Applicable". So in my case, it is definitely not at receiving AOR2 and As-is for many people as I see from the Jan-April 2017 sheets. If it did turn "In Progress" for you, thats great
What we are here for is a little bit of support for each other and a lot of knowledge sharing. No worries, you are welcome! Again, whatever I share is applicable to my case and may be applicable to someone's else case too. Also, I have noticed in some cases, medicals were requested after file transfer to VO. So keep your fingers crossed!
No, a thyroid issue will not result in a refusal of your application. They look for infectious diseases or conditions that would cause an extreme burden on the healthcare system, like organ failures, etc etc.
Chronic conditions that require constant medical aid, hospitalizations, and support from the health care. Also, infectious diseases as KCWARD7 mentioned. Here is a link at CIC to get the complete picture http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/medic/admiss/index.asp
Even if they raise questions, you can always write and explain your grounds. You and your spouse should be fine. I hope it is nothing serious and wish you the best!
