Just wondering how do you know when KVO has received the application? I received a letter through email dated January 17 informing me that I've been approved as a sponsor and that the application has been sent to KVO. Checking online, it says that processing on the application began January 12. Anyone know if the processing they refer to online means the initial processing of me as a sponsor or could it be that KVO began their processing at that time? There's nothing online stating specifically that KVO has the application.
How long did you have to wait from time you submitted the app to when you received the email? My app was received almost 2 weeks ago, but haven't heard anything yet... just curious how long others have had to wait who recently submitted :)

I'm not sure if anyone using the new application has reached the point where they've been asked for medical and police checks. With the old apps, both were required upfront.
I used the old application, and there was a list of CIC approved docs, so assume that would remain the same with the new applications. If I remember correctly, they were located in Montego Bay and Kingston. But, I also assume they'll provide you with a list of choices when they send you the request. :)
But in the Kingston application package it still asks for the police and Doctors up front, oh boy I'm not sure which to follow.
I'm going to follow the Kingston one.

No harm in doing it upfront IMO. :) If anything, you'll just be one step ahead of them...

Now that we've submitted the application (it was received today at the Mississauga office), if we decide to do the medical now, would we still have to wait until they request it for us to submit it?

Though we used the old application, the medical was submitted electronically to CIC by the doctors office. We also received a print-out confirmation we received at the doctors office that had to be included with our application package. I'm not sure how it works with the new applications. I don't see that there would be any harm in going for the medical and having the print-out confirmation ready for when you are asked for it.

Maybe best for someone on here who has done the new application to advise?

Or- maybe even call one of the designated doctors office in Jamaica to see what they recommend? I'm sure they are familiar with the new process and requirements. The assistant at the doctors office in Montego Bay was really kind and helpful in answering all of our questions....
