Staying positive doesn't mean you have to be happy all the time. It means that even on difficult days you know that there better ones coming...

If you're serious about change, you have to go through uncomfortable situations. Stop trying to avoid the process. It is the only way to grow...

These are the two quotes i look by everytime i feel low about this waiting game...Just felt like sharing.

Thanks for turning the ship around and I apologize for my own negative posts, but please understand that even negative comments can be in positive spirit. I have no one else to discuss this with so I desperately need an outlet sometimes, lest I completely lose it. Venting is a positive thing.

Of course I wish all of us are out of this mess asap, and if not, at least that we see the light at the end of this dark tunnel.

Edit: I'm gonna seriously draft that PPR receipt message tonight great idea!

I don't feel that you need to apologize for what you feel..Each of us feels this at some point of the day. If this forum was filled with only happy thoughts, it would look like some fairytale bullshit that we all know is not true..There are better days and there are difficult days...These are the difficult days and letting out your energies is all fine because one they are out you can start building up positive energy again... As for the forum n negativity after it gets to too much venting there is always someone who is willing to bring us back to positivity.
But know that better days are coming! You along with many other have helped a lot of people including myself in putting some darn tough doubts at rest... So, thank you for that! We support each other when we are happy and support even more when we are down...

I totally agree! I think that both the positive and perceived negative thoughts have their place, that they all serve a purpose in the grand scheme of things.. we are all volatile forces cancelling each other out and we are here for one another

No need to apologize. We all go through these phases. You are most welcome to vent it out.
My post was to no one member in particular. Just trying to keep the spirits high here. Let us not get affected by the situation. Let us rejoice for the celebration to come.
My post is ready.

I have readied my post as well (just one date missing) and I hope you all get to read it soon!

Thanks @Trumped2018 for that sweet experience (in advance)

I totally agree with Trumped's post about Canada immigration process. Those who have seen US immigration processes and even European immigration process, Canada's permanent residence program is the most welcoming of all. On a long enough time scale, a wait of 6 months to a year/year and half is not much. If you apply for US visa, there is no guarantee that it will be processed in a definite time frame. You will never get any records like GCMS. It is an extremely opaque system. So are are all European countries' systems. When I first read about this GCMS thing, I was like 'wow'! Is that even possible.

I am from India. I have lived for extended periods of time (more year to 2 years each) for work in 3 European countries, have lived in USA for about 5 years. I have been in Canada for more than a year now. I can definitely say that Canadians are one of the nicest people. I am sure each one of you will have pleasant experiences after you move here (except the salaries - that sucks big time )

Stay positive for some more time!!

You are not true about if you apply for US Visa there is no guarantee when it will be processed. Its true only about GC.

US Visa you can always get approval/rejection/RFEs as per the USCIS timelines trend posted on their website. On top of that they always go in chronological order. It is never like someone applied in Jan will not get any update at all but a new person applying in March-April will get update. Whereas with IRCC it is otherwise.

But yes in terms of transparency it is definitely not transparent on what basis someone gets approved for extensions and some are not. Atleast GCMS notes are helpful and they have someone to reach out to.

Still I agree, no where else a person will get an option of applying PR sitting at home and even with year's time, it is fairly quick process of Canada Immigration.

Actually US visa/Green card is pretty fast except for people from that 4 or 5 countries including mine. And a few types of applications can just pay the premium service so that you have a decision of reject/approve/rfe in 15 days. And they process the application in order of the time received in most case, other than just leave your case in dust and move on.

Why have I received an Immigration Medical Examination request? My medical status was passed and is valid until Dec.

The message says I need to book an appointment with a panel physician in my area. There is a form attached in the message that I need to carry along.

Need to do this within 30 days

Anyone any idea?

inland?
did you have any unclear reports from previous physician?
You could call and ask?
Or do it.

No outland
And no unclear reports.
My medical test status was passed. This was the status in my account since February

This is weird.
If your medicals passed, the document was uploaded and they reviewed it. It doesn't make sense to ask again. Probably, there was some 'review required' during the time of r10 completeness check or so.
Then the officer might have just requested a new one which is fine for you? You could do it and done!
Any insight @legalfalcon on this regard?
