February 2014 PNP applicant that already submitted their application to NS CIO

Not to cause concern or anything, but take notice that concealing your pregnancy/giving birth might get you in trouble with CIC later on. Obviously they won't check up on you after getting your PR or anything like that. But if you eventually apply for citizenship for example, when they do all their background checks they can see in your file that you hadn't told them about your child earlier, and something like that can be considered immigration fraud. So please tread carefully.

thanks for the advice liisa maybe tom or on thurs i will phone them and ask for our medical expiry i will inform them too about my pregnancy and when will i give birth.. maybe they will ask me to send a letter from my obgyn confirming my due date. fingers crossed hope to have all our ppr by this week now

Hi angelstamaria,

May I ask if you applied for an open work permit on your own? Or did you apply through a consultant? My medical will expire on March 29th and I have 3 dependents. My work permit expires in May & with the uncertainty of when to receive a decision from CIC, I am planning to apply for an open work permit by next week. Appreciate your thoughts.

Sharing my timeline for your interest.

Feb 24, 2014 - Application received
March 29, 2014 - Medicals completed
June 9, 2014 - Email confirmation that medicals and landing fee payment were received
Oct 8, 2014 - Email advise that application is awaiting review by an officer
Dec 2, 2014 - Email advise that application is still under review

Thanks!

Do you guys have any experience for that ??

No ppr, but I receive the CPR letter today

Hong Kong is visa exempt to Canada, hence they will not ask you for your Passports. Did do however ask for your passport copies and photos i think...did you submit these earlier?
If so, they would have sent you the COPR directly.

Hi All!

I'd love to hear how many of you applied to CIC in Feb 2014 and have had PPR so far - it seems like the minority.

Anyone who has had PPR, can you let us know when you got it. I'd love to start a running tally!

Does anybody know how long it takes for the officer to receive the extension of my medicals?? I called cic this morning and the agent told me it's the only thing they are waiting. And he also said my case it's almost finalized.

Did they tell you where your application is? Like Ottawa or CIO.

I called them today, the agent said since my application is in Ottawa, they cannot provide an update.

And no one knows how long it takes for medical extension since its an internal CIC process. My application has the same thing i am guessing.

Did any one else call?

No he didn't tell me where my application is, but as you said if it's in ottawa they don't provide any information I assume it's still in Sydney.

Hi Axmcol18,

You and I, as well as many other people in this forum are in the same situation. The last time I called CIC I was told they are just waiting for the approval of my medical extension, as soon as this is done I will hear from them (CIC). I asked the call centre agent if she could give me a time frame to hear from them she said if I dont hear from them by the end of March that I should give them a call first week of April. The call centre agent sounded optimistic I will get it before the end of March, since she is not the Visa Officer handling my file I wouldn't want to strongly rely on her information. One thing I know is that the two agents I have spoken with lately said the same thing that they only waiting for my medicals to be extended before the final decision is taken. Fingers crossed!
