Hi all,
Not sure if I'll get an answer to this one, though here goes.
I've applied for PR under the CEC class. I could have applied under sponsorship as, back in June, I had been with my fiancée over a year. However, with the timing of when my temp permit would expire and the time it takes for the first part of sponsorship to be completed it was better to apply under CEC to ensure I could get the bridging work permit. We married in September last year; I notified CIC etc.
So thats the history on my application.
I had my medical request a couple of weeks ago and this is where I get a little worried...
I have an ICD (like a pacemaker) which was implanted after an arrhythmia nearly 10 years ago. I've had no problems since then and haven't been in hospital - not even on any meds for heart or anything. However, it of course worries me with the whole 'drain on canadian resources' part of the medical.
If i had gone down the sponsorship route, that part of the medical rules wouldn't apply. So the question is this - because I am now married, my wife is Canadian, does that mean that rule in the medical will no longer apply - as if i had been sponsored? or will that not matter because i applied through CEC.
I'm pretty sure all will be fine with the medical - even if i am asked for more information, though it's still an anxious time..
Cheers.
