My wife was asked to redo her medical exam. This is the second time this has happened. The first time she had to redo it as well. Has anyone experienced this? Is this normal? She doesn't have any health problems so I'm thinking it's because of something else.
Well in the email I received it mentions that they may ask for additional tests to be carried out so I guess maybe I shouldn't be too worried.

"Various tests will be conducted, including chest x-rays, blood tests and urinalysis. After the completion of your initial medical examination and submission of reports, further tests or reports may be requested."

what's CAIPS FOR AND AND HOW DO I GRT IT
Ayad
CAIPS are all the notes on your file. The applicant has to order them (all the firms are available on the CIC website. They cost 5 dollars and they take about 1 month to receive. Lots of us who recently ordered CAIPS saw "not started" on everything.... Even after being "in process" for over a year. I wouldn't recommend bothering with ordering them, they seem quite useless. Some people received PPR within days or weeks after receiving CAIPS that said everything on their file was not started.

Greetings,

My husband has an interview scheduled in Ankara for next month. Anyone have any idea how long after the interview, if all goes well, does he receive a visa?

Thanks!
Hi!
If u don't mind me asking what is your timeline? As far as getting PPR after interview, there is no way of knowing. We've had some people receive it the same day as the interview while others have waited a few months. Nothing is set in stone in this process! Good luck;)

I guess it depends on who's working on your file. Mine only said application received on April 12,2011 until Feb 2012 when they added medical results received. It still does not say in process. I give up trying to figure out this process.... No rhyme or reason at all!! Hopefully we are all getting close:)

Thanks. Yeah it is really hard. When me and my husband decided to get married he had just started his millitary service. The military service was supposed to be done in 2 years but he had signed an agreement to work there for 3 years. In Iran if u have a phd you can teach in a university instead normal military service but insead it is 3 years and he got not apply for a passport by the time he finishes his 3 years contract of teaching. That is why my parents did not allow us to get martied until he is allowed to apply for visa. So we just got engaged. Fortunatly I had to wait only 2 years and he was allowed to apply for passport sooner to attend a conference (under special circumstances got his passport). Now it is almost one year from the marriage. So totally 3 years of long distance relationship.

for me it has been 6 f***ken years and nothing done on my file, it is in Ankara right now they are not replying to my e-mails.
the embassies in the middle east don't care about us arabs or persians. they are racist against us. they much prefer to speed up processing for other nations applicants. it is 100% true.

The client ID is enough. You can refer to it they can identify your file.

Yeah, Iran and it's laws! There are so many things about it I love, and that's the one's I can't stand.

My timeline: July is when the VO received my application and nearly 2 months ago we got an interview for June in Ankara. My husband is from Iraq. If anyone wants, I can give an update as to whatever happens during and after the interview!

Thanks everyone for your input. I guess we all just sit and wait. I hope things work out for everyone. Worst thing is a divorce after all this headache ;) with divorce rates increasing you can't deny that the possibilities are much more likely, so to that, I hope we each make it through this process alive and through our marriages safely!

Racism is clearly present, but we can't blame all of our problems on that, and then again, you can't deny we Middle Eastern's are heat bags. Our "countries" don't give citizenships to anyone and these poor native Canadians got invaded by the Brits and French and started accepting people from all over the world to maintain their economy ;) and be humanitarian. Then again, 6 years is crazy! Maybe it's time for plan B ;) not that it's any of my business.
