randomly read about this Bring Forward date ... bec i read in other thread some applicants were given certain dates to wait and expect follow ups from cic ... jst want to share

All about BF'D :
-Only for some of us who didn't know...

BF'D is an acronym for "Bring Forward Date" in the Canadian PR processing system. Usually our file moves from BF'D to BF'D, as it is the day/date next earmarked by our VO to check our file. This actually serves to eliminate unnecessary clogging of the system... that if there is nothing further to add in a particular file, the VO moves to another case file to work on, rather than holding onto the same one.

What happens on a BF'D
In simple terms it is the date that the file will be looked at [again], assessed, reviewed by your case handling officer at the CHC. S/he will check if anything is lacking, any further queries to be made [to you], any documents to be asked or if any decisive action is to be made/taken. Basically it serves as a 'Reminder Tool' to the case processing officer & that your file is not 'forgotten'.

Now, if the VO observes that something is lacking [that which was asked for], s/he will probably attempt to contact you on this BF'D day and mark another BF'D on your file. This depends on the subject of check [the all time phrase 'Case-to-Case' basis]. Sometimes, if the check report warrants, the VO might not give you another opportunity and take a decisive action. Note: The situation is fluid & no one can really provide a sanguine comment on it.

Will the file be 'only' looked at a BF'D
No. If something like reports, results, documents etc. [eg. background/security checks] comes to the CHC in between, your file gets opened and assessed. However, if nothing is received in between, you get another BF'D. Note once again: If they are waiting for something and it comes as expected then the file continues to be processed further, if not then the file will be next reviewed on the BFD 'only'.

An Example
Every time we get a letter/email from the CHC -it carries a 'time limit' to submit something, right? Say 45 days, 60 days or 90 days... the ending day of that time limit is our next BF'D. As an example, if the CHC sent you a medical request [alongwith the forms] on 02 Jan 2010; and it carries a 60 day's deadline -it means your file has been marked with the next BF'D of 01 Mar 2010.

However, if your medical results are received before the BF'D [01 Mar 2010], say on 05 Feb 2010 -your file will be further processed on that day itself [05 Feb 2010]. If the med results didn't come by earlier, then it will be opened on 01 Mar 2010 -the BF'D day.

How many BF'Ds we get
Some BF'Ds are 'routine', as exampled above. Then there are some which is either case generated or because of us. By 'case generated' I mean, [eg.] if one's Security Report is pending from an external agency -the VO gives a BF'D & waits. If the report comes in time, action is taken. If it doesn't, one gets another BF'D. And the situation continues...

By 'because of us'* I mean if the VO had asked us for a document [or a couple of them]. It is wise that we proceed to submit the document/s asap. Reason? The case moves faster [read: it'll open before the BF'D]. If we don't, s/he may try to contact us on the BF'D day & log another BF'D on our file [result: Delay/s].

Delays due to BF'Ds
As stated above, except the 'routine' ones, other BF'Ds do delay our process. At the least [best scenario] each BF'D would be a month apart. Some might be more. The ideal action on our part is to submit anything that has been asked for asap. That would negate a BF'D. However, there can be times that something we just might not be able to send asap. In that case we 'must' send it by the 'deadline' -that'd avoid another BF'D, won't it?

*Many Consultants [so called agents] erroneously advise us otherwise. Stating, "Oh you got the meds, don't worry you have time till 60 days to do it". That's a 'bull'. I'd advise -do it asap, if the speed of your case process matters to you.

This post I chose to write 'coz many members are either clueless about the BF'D issue or take it lightly. Which, albeit causes delays [without our actual intention]. Moreover, there are repeated queries on the subject in various threads. I hope this helped...

Accompanying or not accompanying dependents must submit immigration forms. Better call CIC for clarification.

Hi guys, so im done with my medical exam and the staff told me to scan my medical exam receipt and send it to the embassy..so my question is wether to send it to cem or to vegreville since vegreville was the one to email me my medical form...i've decided to send it to both of them but i don't know what their emails are..can somebody help me out? Thank you..

@intrarch, may I know who told you to send the medical exam receipt? The ones from the clinic where you took your medical exam or did you received a notice from embassy that you need to send back the receipt? also, may I know where did you took your medical exam? are you from the philippines?

 

[Reshi]

Hi, for those dependants who already took their medical exam (specially from St Lukes or IOM Manila Health Center), did you include the medical exam receipts when you submitted your docs?

Thanks again and god bless us all!

Hi guys! So happy to see a lot of us have received AIP and 3 in 1 kit so after our dependants medical and document submission, you know how long will it take for us to be interviewed and given our PR? Thanks!

 

[Julsen]

Got my AIP today!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D. Got the email today.
I have a dependant son and the letter states that the office back home will be contacting my family concerning the medicals. Does this mean that the medical forms will be sent back home?
Is anyone else in a similar situation? I read that some people received their medical forms here. Please what's the next step?

Congrats to everyone who got their AIPs, and those still waiting, yours is next
God is great!

I am from the Philippines, i took my medical exam in cebu...the medical staff told me to email the receipt to the embassy as proof of medical completion since we are given only 60 days to have the medical exam...but asking around i found out that i don't have to email them but send the receipt to my wife which is in canada and it will be included in the submission of the other forms..
