For immigration medical office to receive results??

It really depends... but it doesn't really matter! because normally you include the proofs that you have done the medicals to your file before you send it to Mississauga... Mississauga doesn't need the results itself, they only need to see that you have done them. Then once your file is approved (first step, sponsorship approval), your file is sent to your Visa Office. By then, normally your medicals are already at the VO ( they go directly, they don't go to Mississauga at all). Then your file sits in the VO for a while waiting to be opened... so even if your medicals didn't get there before your file was approved ( some people in November had sponsor approval in 10 days!), then they have time to get there, because your file is not going to be opened right away (the fastest offices I think start reviewing the files after 3 weeks)...
Hope it clarifies a little the process.
Good luck,
Sweden

are you applying inland or outland? because the process is different - I'm talking about the outland process here, maybe it doesn't apply to you?

 

[Robotic]

Yes I'm srry, I'm talking about inland...I'm just a little worried how long it's gonna take for them to receive results cause there is a deadline and I hope it gets there before then

Oh ok - then in that case, I have no idea - but fingers crossed it will get there before the deadline!
Good luck,

Hey Buknoy69,

You can have the medicals whenever you want, but I would advise you to wait and have it just before you send everything to your wife. THe medicals are only valid for one year, so if you do it now and your wife sends everything to mississauga in January, then your medicals will expire in one year from the day you did them. If they expire before you are granted the PR, you might have to do them again ( the VO can request an extension but not always). So to save money (in the long term) and possible delay, I would advise you to do the medicals very close to the date you're sending your application to your wife - so that it doesn't expire during the process.
Good luck,
Sweden

Hi Robotic,
I applied inland - and sent my medical after first stage approval. I done the medical on Sept 21st and they showed up on ECAS on the second week of Nov - so about 1.5 to 2 months from what i have seen here.
