Got medical request for visitor visa for parents *Not SuperVisa*

[Sam1326]

Hello,
I am very much confused and shocked.
Parents submitted Paper application for Visitor visa In Banglore VFS centre and after two weeks both of them got the medical request.
Well, I was not expecting the medical request as the duration of their stay was mentioned as 6 months in the application.
I am PR of Canada and provided all the documentation required for Visitor visa.

I am not sure if they considered it as an application for SUPER VISA or normal Visitor/Visa visa. Do they consider SUPER VISA by default?

And If they considered it for SUper Visa then why did they consider so ? I never mentioned that they need a SUPER VISA.

Please advise on this. Also advice what should I do ?

You sure they didn't apply for the parent super visa?

Did you send a case-specific enquiry asking about this?

I have read about other people getting this medical request despite requesting under 6 months.

thanks for your reply...
I have selected the "Purpose of Visit" as "Family Visit" and not the Super Visa for Parents and grandparents in the IMM5257 form.
I guess that means this application is not under "Super Visa " category. Am I corrrect ?
How to differentiate between normal visitor visa and parent Super Visa other than above ?

How to initiate the Case Specifica Enquiry ? Via e-mail to Canada Embassy ?

It is on VO discretion, they may very well ask for medicals for TRV too.

Sam1326, Just relax... Even though you requested for 6 months, the VO can give TRV more than a year or so, hence the medical request, you don't have to worry about it, unless your parents have any previous or existing medical condition.

thanks guys for your responses...makes me feel relaxed by hearing that this is not something unusual...I am asking my parents to go for medicals...hopefully that works now...

My mom was asked for medicals despite that she was coming for a month, and was residing in a country for which CIC does not require medical exam. I asked why medical exam was needed and got response from visa office that basically they can request medicals from anyone

 

[Sam1326]

ohh ok..how long did it take to get the Visa after medicals?

She withdrew her application, she needed to travel on specific dates and the wait for medicals was too long.

Hi! how did she withdraw her application? i thought once they started processing your application you cant withdraw it anymore? or you can withdraw, but they will not be refundable? i have the medical issue for my mom i apply her for 5 months extension but i received an email from cic formedical request but my mom refuse it, instead she want to go back home so i can save money, i dont know if its a good idea to withdraw her application since she was implied status right now any help please

Here is an update -- i sent the email to Canadian embassy in Banglore regarding my Parents medical test and they replied back saying that ..."Visa officer has detrmined to do the medical test for your parents"...
So now I am asking my parents to do the test...
There is no logic about when and who needs to do the medical test...If they ask, then we have to do...
Thaks guys for your help...

Hi sam same here, i called cic, VO said that if my mom leave she need to go to cbsa to tell that she will be leaving now with on process application extension and she has implied status and show it the confirmation of her application, she need also to undergo medical exam regardless she will leave canada, she can have hermedical back home so it will not effect on her future visa or entry into canada....i was really confused iasked her if i can cancel her application but she told me they cant do something about it, she has multiple visa valid till 2019 I dont know if she cant come back in here unless she will do her medical? I thought is only for those who apply for the new TRV i really need the expert answer......

hi ondang2 ..sad to hear about that...looks like they made the medical test mandatory for every visitor as well...

She wrote an email to the local visa office and requested to withdraw the application. From inside Canada it can be done through CSE. The application fees were not refunded.
Regarding your situation, I don't think you should withdraw application before your mom leaves, because then she may be considered out of status.
