INFORMATION-MEDICAl results/ VISA expiration

[anariko]

Hi there

I have sponsored my common in law partner and he did his medical exam back in December 2009 and we got news that our application was received in March. I have read that you only have one year from the medical results to enter Canada because the visa expires but Im just worried that the process may take longer. Ok, so he did the medical exam in December but what they consider are the medical results that the doctor sends them right? (ie.when they reach the office, thats when they are counting from?).

If anyone can clear this up and explain the medical results/visa expiration, I would appreciate it so much! thanks for your time

I believe the medicals are dated from the date stamped on the medical receipt from the DMP. Since your husband did his medical in Dec, then it will expire this december.

hi thanks for your response. So that means that if we dont hear anything (ie, we don´t receive any news from the immigration office) before December then he has to repeat the medical exam and then we have to submit it again? I tried to find some information on the official website but I didnt find anything.

Yes that is correct you will have to redo the med if the old one expires by the year mark

are there great chances that we get a response before 12 months? Do you know of other ppl that have received the permanent visa more on the earlier side (ie 6months, 7months) instead of 12months?

plenty, but we can't give advice because we don't know what visa office you are applying to. If you fill out your signature (under profile) then people will automatically know some of your history and can give you better advice!
