CSQ,
December 2010 applied for Federal
May 2011 medical check
Sept 2012 medical (but without government mail/e-mail, based on personal decision) .....
Hi, I have been following this forum for quite a while already. I have contacted my MP twice in early December and mid of January and I was told that the processing of my application are completed. The only thing that is missing before my file can be finalized is the landing fee and I can pay for it already without having to wait for the letter of comfirmation from the visa office. I emailed the visa office in Ottawa regarding this matter but till date I have not receive any reply from them. My question is,what do mean by (but without government mail/e-mail, based on personal decision).

Lot of people got updates from CPP today but it's unfortunate that they have to redo their medicals due to CPP incompetency.

Ok so my question is, why did they say only do medicals when asked to do them if they ask us to do them again!
Also who will pay for my time, medicals and other expenses, just had to renew visa which cost 300 and if have to re do medicals that will be up to 500 dollars and a day of work, it's a joke!!

Hi manuel 1

The email I got from Ottawa said the following:

Dear CHIMBOMBO

This refers to your application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Your file has been transferred to the Case Processing Pilot in Ottawa for further review. It will be reviewed by one of our officers, with priority given to applications that were received at CIC before September 1st, 2011.

Medical Examination:

If you had a medical evaluation done during 2012*, we will be requesting an extension of your medical validity in order to facilitate the processing of your case. No action is required on your part.
If the results of your medical evaluation have expired, you will receive new instructions to go for a new medical examination conducted by a CIC-designated panel physician.
If you have not yet completed a medical examination by a CIC-designated panel physician, you will receive new instructions from this office to go for a new medical examination.

*Please note that only where medical examinations have been conducted by a CIC-designated panel physician, and only where these meet CIC requirements, will this office submit requests for extension of the medical validity of your original medical evaluation.

Case Status:

In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents:

· XXXXXXXX - CHIMBOMBO

· > Employment records: An original and recent letter of employment indicating the start date, annual or hourly rate of pay, and regular hours per week For CHIMBOMBO. This must be received at this office by: 03/31/2013

With the exception of Police Certificates, please submit the requested documents as scanned attachments and send to the following e-mail address:
ottpilot-immigration @ cic.gc.ca

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 must be sent via postal or courier service to our office at the following address:

XXXXX

All requested documents/information must be accompanied by the outgoing correspondence we have sent to you (i.e. this e-mail or a printed copy of this letter).



Please note:

All documents must be accompanied by English or French translations.
When original documents are requested, notarised documents are not acceptable.
If you are unable to provide any or all of the requested documents/information, please explain why they are not available.

Hi guys

I was wondering if they need a Police certificate from my home country. The problem is I haven't been there since 2008. Therefore the one I sent with my application was from 2011. (my mom got it for me)

So, should I get a police certificate from my home country? or just send a new one from Canada

thanks

@ chimbombo

I dont think so they asked you to reappear for medical. They generally explained medical exam situation in letter. It says that if medical is required then u will receive separate instructions....its seems that u need police certificate and job letter only --------I think u need police certificate from any place where u lived more then 6 months after 18 year age.........................

yes they asked me to repeat medical exams on a separate email.

I'm just worried about the police certificate from my home country. because the one I sent with my application is from March 2011, and I haven't been outside Canada since October 2008. So, I don't understand what is the point to get a new police certificate from my home country. If I haven,t been there. Or should just explain the situation on a separate letter?

I was wondering if something like this would be fine

"Dear sir or madam

I'm not able to provide an updated police certificate from X country. I haven't been there or any other country since October XX, 2008. The day I landed in Canada.

The police certificate from X conutry that I sent with my application is from March 1st, 2011. Therefore, that police certificate haven't changed, because at that moment I was already living in Canada.

Please, if you need more information don't hesitate to contact me.

Best Regards"

The point is. why I need to update the police certificate from my home country. If the one I sent with my application is newer (2011) than the time I have been in Canada (I have been in Canada since 2008 without leaving the country) So, It's impossible to commit a crime or something illegal after October 2008 in my home country.

I'm more than clear that I need to update the police certificate from Canada.

Reading all the updates from the members since yesterday. I have few questions in my mind.

How do you get police certificate from Canada?

What if one had lived in separate cities within Canada.How
do we obtain police certificates?

And I remember first time I submitted my application I only submitted
my home country's Police Certificate. At that time I had already lived
in Canada for 2 years. They never sent me an email to send CA PC. And
all my friends who got PPR were never asked to submit PC for CA.
So I am kinda confused that whether we need PC for CA or not?

The email from CPP-O which was sent to other members is not clear.
What the heck? Really we have morons working in CIC and Kenny
is worst of them.
