What was the answer to K?

Well if there are security concerns, they will do some major background checks and what not and it will take a couple years. Happening to someone in the Mexico thread. You don't get a fast no, that is for sure. You get an extremely slow no. You are in process - that is fabulous! Stop thinking the worst, PPR is next.

Even the medical - if you are at the end they WILL extend it. It barely just expired! Ecas doesn't give you enough info to know where you are really at in the process. And even if there is a redo medical, it doesn't take that long to process and then PPR is immediately after.

Can you show me the link to the mexican thread and the page # it is on?
Thanks!

We put NO to k) because we don't consider her disease to be serious at all.
But after some google time and some time on the phone with the MPA, it turns out they both say it's a serious disease.
She mentioned her disease on the medical and the surgeries she had.

Seriously? A couple of years for her disease that is somewhat common in women? (6-10% have a form of it).
This is total BULL-*censored word*!

You are so extreme TS, lol. The couple of years isn't for a disease, it is for major security concerns. If she has a health issue, they aren't going to care what you put on the form. They will go by the doctor. And if up to 10% of women have it, it is not that serious. I can only guess what it is but I'll tell you that our doctor's office has been doing the canadian immigration health exams for like 25 years and they told us that Canada cares about serious heart disease, kidney failure, stuff like that. My husband has what is considered a possibly serious disease (when untreated) and there wasn't a problem. Not only that but his lung xray showed a TB spot or something. But the doctor wrote a letter to explain it. No problems.

There is no page number really - it is ongoing for almost 2 years. It has to do with a tattoo and the case went into some seriously long security checks because there was a gang concern which was unfounded. NOTHING to do with your wife. My point was they don't just reject suddenly. You are not going to get rejected.

If a decision has NOT been MADE, then she was supposed to be contacted to re-do her medical.
She was not contacted. Therefore a decision HAS been MADE.

Or, perhaps, they are busy with other elements of the file review process and will check for medical validity at a later date, see it is expired, and ask for a re-do then shortly before issuing the visa.

Also, unless the disease is a risk to Canadian's safety, remember as a spousal sponsorship applicant she is excessive demand exempt. That being said, you could send them an updated form and explain your answer to (k) and your new understanding of the circumstances potentially qualifying for a 'yes' response.

TS, two points:

1. They normally send a fairness letter before rejection.
2. Spouses are exempt from medical excessive demand requirements. A serious disease that puts excessive demand on Canadian health care system will disqualify an applicant in the skilled worker category, but not in spousal class. For example, look at computergeek's case. The only time that a spouse will be disqualify because of a disease is when (s)he will endanger the health and safety of Canadians.

May I suggest that you order your GCMS notes? It will have all the entries regarding the medical files and should put your mind at ease.
Best wishes

In her case, if her condition is not treated it leads to death. Treatment is what's keeping her from potential death. Putting that word in there is already serious. So yes I'm worried.

What's an excessive demand exempt?

Ah OK well her disease isn't contagious of any sort, so I guess I feel much better now... Thanks... <3

My husband's condition can possibly lead to death without treatment. Or other serious conditions.

That sucks... for both of us...

Take a look at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2011/ob373.asp for details on excessive demand. Spouses are exempt from excessive demand requirements.

Did your husband put YES for k)??

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have experience with landing, how long did it take to get processed at the airport? Because my husband has about an hour hour between flights to his final destination and I know they process applicants at the first Canadian stop. I am just wondering if that will be enough time? and also does it matter if its a return ticket or does it have to be one way? one way tickets are far more expensive.

Hi Guys is 4 years separation from ex is enough to proceed with the commonlaw application with my current partner?

will Lease paper and my statutory declaration be enough to prove the separation. Because that is the only think I have to prove it

 

[canadiangirl78]

That sucks... for both of us...

Yeah it is kind of scary. I don't think he will die or anything - he is getting the appropriate treatment but it does suck.
