If the new doctor is not on the CIC website why risk it? Don't take any chances unless you want delays and possible refusal of you application. If by any reason this doctor is a SCAM and your time period passes they might refuse you (MED letter usually states that if they did not hear from you they will assume you are no longer interested in migrating to Canada).

Dear Qorax !

After long Im writing to you concerning my upcoming medical test. As you previously replied to me, CIC issued my medical request few days back and Im planning to take test as soon as possible. But my concern is , CIC web site has mentioned a name of doctor of specific clinic of my home country. when I consulted , they replied me availability of another doctor ( who has been taking medical test since few months ). Is it possible ? is so why CIC has not updated such information. They told me they can show authentic letter of CIC regarding doctors validity of that another doctor.

Could you please suggest me on such issue.

I look forward hearing from you for your quick response.

Regards

Dear Qorax!
There has been a movement in my Case. I received an email for the following Documents from CIC:
1. New Application for Permanent Residence IMM0008 form for the principal applicant
2. New Schedule A/Background Declaration
3. PCC.
4. 2 Recent Photographs.

The same has been delivered to them yesterday. Despite passing of 1 Month of Expiry of my Medicals, CIC did not ask for my Re-Medical.
Are there chances that i will get away to PPR-1 without Re-Medical?

That's a sad situation... but it happens with few -- usually due to the veracity of their b/g or security checks. I'm sorry - I can't assist u much here -- ur only option is to send them periodic status queries.

There r 'chances'... CIC is known to offer a few months respite on neck-n-neck cases (processing completion nearing meds expiry). Let's pray u fall into that batch!

My lawyer received my medical, PCC, POF, and updated forms request on 02 November. The problem is that my wife's passport expires after 6 months from now, if we applied now for a new passport for her and she got one with new number, would this affect the finalization of our application in any way?

I would appreciate your help and reply

Dont worry. It does not matter. After your Background checks are done, you will be asked to send a fresh copy of passport to CHC which should preferably have 6 months or more to expire.

My concern is , CIC has mentioned name of one doctor Mr. Basnayat. But clinic said they have another doctors too who has been taking medical test tasks since lats 3/4 months. Is it possible ? They claimed CIC has already issued authorized letter for that new one. Can I do my medical test with that new one.

News Release — Canada welcomes largest number of parents and grandparents in almost twenty years


Up to 35,000 parents and grandparents to be reunited with families

Mississauga, November 5, 2012
— After the first year of the Action Plan for Faster Family Reunification, major progress has been made in reuniting families more quickly and reducing the backlog of Parent and Grandparent (PGP) program applications, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

The 2013 Levels Plan, which was tabled last week, includes the admission of 25,000 parents and grandparents for the second year in a row, for a total of 50,000 between this year and next. This is a 60 percent annual increase from 2010 and the highest level in nearly two decades.

The Action Plan also took immediate steps to address a backlog of PGP applications that had ballooned to approximately 165,000 applicants, with wait times stretching to an unacceptable eight years. By the end of this year, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) expects to have reduced the backlog by about 20 percent. Of the applications cleared from the backlog, the majority met the requirements of the program and have been approved.

Furthermore, there has been strong uptake of the new Parent and Grandparent Super Visa, which allows parents and grandparents to visit Canada for up to two years at a time. The Super Visa is very popular, with over 10,000 Super Visas being issued since its launch in December 2011, and the acceptance rate is high at 87 percent.

“We listened to Canadians who told us the old program with eight-year wait times just didn't work,” said Minister Kenney. “The Harper Government's actions to fix the old broken program are working. Given the popularity of the Super Visa and planned permanent admissions of 25,000 in 2013, we expect to reunite up to 35,000 parents and grandparents with their families next year. This is a significant achievement and the highest number in nearly two decades.”

On March 23, 2012, CIC launched national public consultations on the redesign of the PGP program. Minister Kenney hosted roundtables with stakeholders and public online consultations were launched. The online consultations ran until May 25, 2012, and received a total of 6,444 responses, the highest number of responses ever received by CIC through an online consultation. A detailed summary of the results of the online consultations will be available shortly on CIC's website.

For the PGP program to be sustainable, it must be redesigned to avoid future backlogs. The redesigned program must also be sensitive to fiscal constraints, bearing in mind Canada's generous public health-care system and other social benefits.

“As we work to dramatically reduce the backlog and wait times, work on the redesign of the PGP program is progressing well,” added Minister Kenney. “As promised, within the next year we expect to launch a modernized PGP program, one that ensures that future applicants are processed quickly and that the program operates on a sustainable basis.
