And now you see how it was not a good idea to wait... Good luck and happy new year

You might have been here for long time, you should know a lot of things.I wonder how you don't know that medical instructions do not come always in same way. not all medical instructions are the same. it goes case by case.some people need to redo every thing some peeple need to do a few exams.(the panel physicians, know exactly what needed when you show them your instructions). can't you ask why some people redo and sit 3 months waiting when others redo and after weeks they have their visa?obviously not because some waited instrusctions.any way at the end I know that you just wanted to help.but take your time to visit different forums, you will see different cases that will help you to know different scenarios happening with CIC. thanks for your contribution to the forum.

You missunderstood my comment my dear, they do not ask if the medical expired.They know that medical expired. I said that they instruct to redo medical.and it is better to wait until they instruct to do it.I know some recent cases where 2 weeks after doing remedical PPR came in.I also know others that dates more than 6 month where remed and PPR came same time.Who told you that they no longer extend medical.I prefer not to say anything than I give wrong info to anyone. as I write this.I know 2 people whom medical expired and they submitted passports within last weeks.one of them got a call and was given a deadline to land(before February 20th),as I write she is wondering how they still have not yet passport back when medical expired a few days after she sent the passport.let's try to help eachother I can not know everything aout how this CIC works. but I also don't like if some1 give wrong info.all the ebst to all of us.

I didn't misunderstood your comment. But you have misunderstood mine.
If one's medical expired , it is not recommended to wait until CIC asks to redo, this will just add more delay. CIC do not extend medicals any longer as a standard practice. If someone got some special handling from CIC - good for them but one should not rely on it.
The only reason to wait for CIC request to redo medicals if you are not sure you are going to be approved and you want to save your money for medicals - it may be the case for some of the economic classes but doesn't make any sense for most of spousal/child family sponsorship applications.
You may hold your opinion but I suggest you spend some more time in reading CIC policies/bulletins before you claim your opinion is the correct one and accuse someone in giving wrong info.

I don't know what your issue is (looks like it is with me personally) but it is you who seems not to know that spouse/child family members are exempt from inadmissibility due to excessive demand on the health system and as such, special/additional medical requests for family members are virtually nonexistent.
So, forgive me for being blunt, i suggest you go sit back in the corner, do your homework and stop flooding forum with wrong and unrelated posts.

Fair enough, forum is a hearsay, let's speak of facts. Here are mine which support my advice:
Medical exemptions due to excessive demand: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/medic/exam/exemptions.asp
Extension of medicals, expired operational bulletin: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob423.asp

Peace & love to you too.

Extension of medicals, expired operational bulletin: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob423.asp

This bulletin has expired. Is there a newer one?

 

[sashali78]

This bulletin has expired. Is there a newer one?

Nop. That's exactly the point, as a standard extensions are no longer granted.

 

[lonelyguy]

Nop. That's exactly the point, as a standard extensions are no longer granted.

The fact that the link about extending/ reassessing medical exam expired, doesn't mean justify that medical exam can no longer be extended.as from CIC policies only some individuals are not eligible to that exception. I quote ''The process does not apply to applicants who are inadmissible on health grounds since inadmissible ‘M’ profiles do not expire.'' end of Quote.
In the link Sahali gave it justifies what I said simply though the link is expired, I will give you the same updated one at the end of this message.I believe Sahali was to give us something updated to uspport what she is saying.
2.I mentioned that I have at least 3 testimonies who got their Visas after their medical expired.and this is wthin Last 2 months.
3.The decision to extend medicals might results from different reasons such as your health, the person handling your files, your medical results interpretation by Doctors and CIC officers, and your due file due dates.
4.She is called Adarnecio she is a member on Accra Forum. she was requested her passport on 24th January.and her medical were to expire on 30th January. already you understand that you can not send a passport, get it back and land in one week, everything.she is now waiting the Visas.
I will give you more names when I get time to search.But a few weeks ago one member told me that his visas was offered 2 weeks after medical were expired.
5.We can't all expect our medical to be extended. since in 100 people with medical expiring, less than 10% get medical extended, plus that for some reasons you may even not be eligible to have medical extendable.

Moreover, since medical exams do not go directly to visas officers(the ones who issue your visas),If they send you instructions before they get your medical that you did before you get instructions this might create a confusion to the applicant. However when you do the medical for the first time personally I prefer to do it before than they ask me.but I don't find it same way when it comes to redo.

Below is the link regarding reassessments for a new medical certificate.and when I get time I wil search names of at least 2 members who had medical extended at least within last 2 month.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/medic/assess/cert.asp.

All the best to every one.

M category refer to your category of hearth results. CIC has devided that in 7 categories from M1 to M7. I don't know if M1 is the best or M7. But I know that again they are groupped in 2 M1 to M3 and M4 to M7. sometimes you will see in your notes medical section ''Surveillance required''. meaning they were not satisfied by medical results.

Also check this quote might help to understand their process. and ofcourse we can not know everything since it is not our job, as you uys in your work you know everything than a stranger from outside. .


''The validity of a permanent resident visa may not be extended. Nor can replacement visas be issued with
a new validity date. If foreign nationals do not use their visas, they must make a new application for a
permanent residence visa.
They must also pay a new application processing fee. If they have paid a right of permanent resident fee
(RPRF), they do not need to pay it again. The RPRF may be collected only once.
Sometimes, due to factors beyond their control, applicants receive visas that are valid for less than two
months. If they cannot travel before their visas expire, officers should update whichever requirement (e.g.,
medical) was used to set the visa validity. When a new validity date has been obtained, a new visa will be
issued.''

 

[cicong]

yea, they sent us a form with barcode and prefilled data of her, so i guess we needed that before going to the clinic. And yes, they are finally starting to look at our file, but still really pissed off they stashed the files there for 6 months before even touching it. now it is chinese new year where even the couriers are off on vacation in mainland, and they choose this time to ask for resubmissions.

 

[lonelyguy]

Sorry to hear that.be happy that you are close to the end at least.if they have no objections with your results. For sur it won't take long to hear from them.many are wishing to be requested that after their medical have expired including myself. It is a good sign in progress. All the best.

 

[fr33z3n]

Nop. That's exactly the point, as a standard extensions are no longer granted.

I understand your position where you dont want to have a delay in them asking for a medical but on the other hand lonelyguy is right in saying one should wait till you are asked by immigration to redo the medical.

The medical expiry is determines when the visa expires.

In most of the cases here the medical is extended for an additional year.

 

[sashali78]

The medical expiry is determines when the visa expires. CORRECT

In most of the cases here the medical is extended for an additional year. WRONG

 

[sashali78]

lol Sure, all the people on the Lebanese thread are wrong, good luck with that

If you haven't noticed you are not on Lebanese thread. Different VOs may act differently.

 

[Mokomoko]

He wanted to mean this forum(Hong Kong), the important is that you get his point. I think Lonely guy was right.but also sahali you need to accept that we all can help eachother. is he says and prove it, you can know something else he doesn't know.so let's help eachother we are not here to fight eachother.it is like a family.
