1. Yes, you will require a medical from Pakistan.
2. Minimum of 4 weeks from the receipt of the complete application. Note the web site states apply 2-3 months before start of classes.

thank you for your reply. well i did apply aprox. 2 months before the start of my classes. any idea by when should i expect a call for my medical test?

I think, at the end of November.

do you think i will get my visa decision before my classes start (4th of january). secondly what are the main things they want tp check in

the medical test? i.e aids, swine flu , tuberculosis ect? secondly i do social smoking? do you think i should quit till my medical or it doesn't matter??

thirdly are you 100% sure that i will have to go through a medical examination?

thank you kista and PMM =)

In Pak, a medical is required for study permit.
do you think i will get my visa decision before my classes start (4th of january)?
Yes, most probably, if no docs are missing.
Medical is simple, x-ray, eye sight, weight, height, blood, urine.

Hi,
Im writing here cuz i think ill be in a similar position as that of saeed in a few days.
I just got my admission letter from the university of Waterloo today. I applied for the Winter session and classes start 4th of Jan.
I'm really confused whether this is the right time to apply or not? Even if i apply in a day or two i'll still have more than 4 weeks but people usually here tell it takes approx 3 months.
So should I apply right now, or should i first get my admission defered to the May session and then apply with the new admission letter?

Need a really quick response ..... thanx.

See on the website of courier through which you applied. It would be under process. When something will happen you will hear from embassy.

 

[uzairkhan]

yes Embassy recieved my documents on 4th of nov,2009...

One reason it takes 2 to 3 months for visa is that people apply 2 to 3 months before and they issue visa only near term start date. According to website about 33% people do get visa in 28 working days.
