Dear All,
A pleasant and safe New Year 2014 to all of us! I also would like to thank you all for the selfless acts of giving some of your time to help everyone around here by posting your experiences of this wonderful journey - I am positive about the whole process for all of us
- reading the posts have given us assurances and more knowledge of the entire process.
By the grace of God and the kindness of my immigration officer/s, I have received a letter saying ' that I meet eligibility requirements to apply for permanent resident status... However, a final decision will not be made until all remaining requirements to becoming a permanent resident have been met. these requirements include medical, security and background checks for you, and if applicable, all your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they are not applying to join you in Canada at this time.
Other info:
1. I have submitted an original police clearance together with all my documents.
2. I have done my medicals before I submitted my documents and the CIC affiliated doctor have forwarded my results to the respective CIC department.
3. My online status says 'we have received your medical results'.
My questions:
1. Should I call CIC to let them know that I have also submitted my original police clearance? or should I wait for updated status online to say ' we have received your police clearance?
2. what does the 'if applicable' clause mean? in what circumstances do we get security and medicals for the other family members even though they are not applying with me at this time? I do not have any dependent children, they are in their mid 30s.
3. I am not sure if my thinking is correct: I think that the CIC sent me a letter with some general paragraphs included in it, and that if I have sent the required documents as mentioned in the paragraph, then I will just have to wait for acknowledgment to appear on my online status like the notice of receipt for my medical.
My AOR was feb 7, 2013. Thank you, appreciate any thoughts you may have.
