Extremely happy to share with you that today we received our passports back after stamping. Would like to thank you all for the tons of useful information shared through this forum. Special thanks to the senior members who spend time to clarify and assist fellow members to achieve the final goal.

We are planning our landing on 13th November, booked Air France ticket to Toronto and arranged accommodation in Studio 6, Mississauga. All preferred guest houses were fully booked and Studio 6 was the best option for us - they have a mini kitchen inside, with kids it was a necessity for us.

JMJJ

You didnt try Urban Living Suites in downtown Toronto? They have studios with mini kitchen and is just next to Toronto Western Hospital. We stayed there for one month when we landed which helped us in moving around the city more easily

Excellent...good for you. Congrats buddy! I found this very good post by a new comer in linkedin, which I am posting here for your guidance. Will help you if you are not coming with a job in hand:

"Relocating and settling in Canada works in a totally different way. Every case is different and it all depends on your Present Situation and Your needs. Please do remember "You are migrating to a new place - On the hopes of Better Life, not for a adjusting or compromising life". It is not related to your qualifications, or experience - the system is Different NOT Difficult, which cannot be explained by writing. Everyone has to come to Canadian Loop to understand and enjoy this.

So do your research and my suggestion - Make a full research till you get tired, identify needs, try to get a proper Job / Specified income which you are ready to accept - then you can enjoy your stay in Canada.

Also check the below job boards which will help you gain some idea about jobs in your area of interest:

www.workingincanada.gc.ca
www.jobbank.gc.ca
www.workopolis.ca
www.monster.ca
www.indeed.ca

Having priorities set with no high hopes is the rational way of making a move if you want it reflecting positively on your, and your next generation's, future - especially when it comes to migrating. Please note that disappointment is the only thing you'd get if you've set your expectations too high, and this is commonly happening to those who end up moving without prior research.

While planning for your landing, it's very important you research a lot, what's in demand, market dynamics in your field, alternates and local skills that you need to acquire there. This is something everyone of us should be aware of before the much awaited 'LANDING'.

Take as much funds with you as possible, not just the minimum suggested by CIC. Try to bring at least savings which will help you for one year minimum. Be prepared for a change in lifestyle. Try adapting to the Canadian lifestyle.

Start building professional network even before the time you land. Times have changed and social media has evolved rapidly..the world has shrunk - try LinkedIn(don't ask for jobs directly, they'll throw you out of their network, rather your profile should be strong enough to impress).

Repurpose your application and resume for each job you apply for rather than a broad brushstroke. Start reading job boards, job descriptions and essential requirements, this should give you an idea of what background a Canadian employer seeks from candidates.

The list can go on, and on, so prepare yourself mentally to face these challenges. I have!

90% of the Canadian employers look for candidates who can be culturally fit for their organization. And it's very important how you convince them on that!!! "

Operational Bulletin 423 - May 24, 2012
Reassessment of a medical file for the issuance of a new medical certificate
Summary
Effective June 1st, 2012, officers can request that an applicant's medical file be reassessed by a Medical Officer (MOF) or a Health Branch (HB) delegated staff for the issuance of a new medical certificate. The process applies to cases where a final decision of an officer is pending only due to the expiration of a medical certificate or when the validity of the medical certificate is about to expire and the applicant is unable to land before it expires. This process is limited to applicants who had a routine immigration medical examination (IME) done by a panel physician within the last 15 months in or outside Canada. The new medical certificate issued will be valid for 12 months.

Issue
This Operational Bulletin aims to standardize the reassessment of a medical file for the issuance of a new medical certificate to ensure alignment with the legislation while fulfilling departmental operational needs. This procedure is limited to situations where the final decision of an officer is pending due only to the expiration of a medical certificate. If anything else is pending, the officer should not use this procedure.

Background
According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR), sections 30(4) and 72(1)(e)(iii), foreign nationals (FNs) who seek to enter Canada and those already in Canada applying to become permanent residents must hold a medical certificate based on the most recent medical examination to which they were required to submit under the IRPR within the previous twelve months, indicating that they are not inadmissible on health grounds. However, upon request of an officer, HB has been granting ‘extension of IME validity' for periods varying from one to twelve months in order to support operational needs. This process has been reviewed for better alignment with the legislation and strengthening of program integrity.

A medical assessment, which is a medical examination for the purposes of immigration, is the review of an applicant's medical file by a MOF and/or HB delegated staff. The result of the last medical assessment is entered in Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) electronic platforms (such as the Global Case Management System (GCMS) or Field Operations Support System (FOSS) as an ‘M' profile indicating that an applicant is either admissible or inadmissible on health grounds. A medical certificate is an ‘M' profile indicating that an applicant underwent a medical examination within the previous 12 months and is not inadmissible on health grounds (therefore limited to M1, M2, M3, M23, M19, M29, and M39 profiles).

Instructions
When the final decision of an officer is pending due only to the expiration of a medical certificate or when the validity of the medical certificate is about to expire and the applicant is unable to land before it expires, the officer will:

•Issue medical instructions for a new full routine medical examination done by a panel physician if the IME is older than 15 months;
•For in-Canada and overseas cases with an IME done within the last 15 months:
◦Contact the Regional Medical Office (RMO) responsible for the file at the following e-mail addresses:
■Beijing: Bejing-mc @ international.gc.ca
■London: London-mc @ international.gc.ca
■Manila- Traditional visa offices attached to RMO Manila: Manil.mc @ international.gc.ca
■Manila- Visa offices previously attached to RMO Singapore: Manil.mc-im @ international.gc.ca
■New Delhi: Delhi-mc @ international.gc.ca
■Ottawa: ime-reassessment @ cic.gc.ca
■Paris: Paris-mc @ international.gc.ca
◦Entitle your e-mail ‘Reassessment of an applicant's medical file for the issuance of a new medical certificate';
◦Provide the applicant's name, ID number, date of birth, date of initial IME, and country of residence for the last 6 months.
It is recommended that the officer review the validity of the medical certificate of all the persons being part of an immigration application and request the reassessment of the medical file for those eligible for the process if needed.

•Upon receipt of the request for reassessment, the MOF or the HB delegated staff will:
◦Review the medical file to determine if there is sufficiently relevant and up to date medical information to provide a new opinion of admissibility on health grounds;
◦Request additional medical information if a new opinion based upon the existing information in the medical file is not possible;
◦Assess the medical file including any new additional medical information as needed;
◦Provide a new opinion of admissibility or inadmissibility on health grounds;
◦Enter the new ‘M' profile in the CIC electronic platform (such as GCMS or FOSS);
◦Send an e-mail to the officer who requested the reassessment to confirm that the process has been completed.
It is recommended that the officer issue medical instructions for a new full routine medical examination done by a panel physician if the results of additional testing are unlikely to be provided quickly.

•If the opinion of the CIC MOF and/or HB delegated staff is that the applicant is:
◦Admissible on health grounds: a new medical certificate will be issued and will be valid for a 12 month period starting from the date of the new medical assessment;
◦Inadmissible on health grounds: a new medical certificate will not be issued.
■The new ‘M' profile constitutes the most current opinion of inadmissibility provided to the officer for the final decision of inadmissibility on health grounds.
