i just had an interesting conversation with the MP of my area, he actually talked to me on the phone for like 15 mins lol, he explained alot, apparently they get 120 cases a month about people complaining and wanting to know whats going on, what was really interesting for me was the fact that they only ask you to renew the medical because you have to have a valid medical when you enter canada, basically he gave me this example, if your file is DONE on june 5th and they want to issue the visa, BUT your medical is only vali till june 11, they will ask for a new medical before they give you the visa because there isnt enough time for the person to leave and enter a canadian border, i used to think it was important because of health issues, but he said CANADA CANNOT REFUSE A SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP FOR MEDICAL REASONS, so if they ask you to renew your medical it means your PPR is ready to go :D

you are almost there my friend !


Another fun fact i got from the Mp, it takes 2 - 3 months to process a file for sponsorship, the rest your file is just sitting in the office! he said 90 % of the processing takes place towards the end of the waiting time, so basically if they have your file under review it doesnt take long at all, the long part is waiting for the file to be reviewed... sigh....

Dear Sara,hopefuly second medical exam wont be needed, just send an email and let them know when your medical exam will be expired and hopefuly you will get the result. i received an emial from them two days before my medical expiration.
good luck

i dont know if you guys noticed question 6 in the RQ, i was just reading it and i realized its so easy to misunderstand it and answer it wrong, they should use simpler terms to not confuse people, i mean factual resident, come on, there arent many factual residents who are sponsors as well.
