Thanks TorontoSam,
I'm actually flying to India next Friday. So I'll probably email them a scanned copy of the meds this week and wait and see what happens while I'm down there.

Congrats!!
Did you land in Toronto?
It was a bit cold last week, but has warmed up the last few days.

Orion, question on the medical: did your spouse provide four recent photographs to the doctor during the medical?

Not sure.
I'll find out when I will give her a buzz during lunch time

Hey orion & Sam and any other member (who has some idea/xp abt this)

Request you guys to read through and clarify me...

In march 2013 I went for medicals and the Doc after doing all the checks gave me a printout mentioning as upfront medical referal letter.
I enquired about form '1017' which I am supposed to receive but he said their center is an eMedical center and with the new system they send everything electronically to the embassy.
All I have to do as per him is to attach that letter and fee receipts and the rest will be taken care by them.

As suggested I just gave those to my lawyer and all the drama unfolded, my lawyer kept on saying I should attach form 1017 or else app is incomplete and I kept on saying the doc clearly said there is nor more form1017 these days and everyuthing is electronic.
I even double checked with docs office, but he stood by his staetments.
To make things even worse the CIC website is also really not clear.
So contacted the call center and to our relief we heard the same as the doc was saying , that with the new upfornt medicals all I have got from doc is enough.
relayed the info to my lawyer and when they contacted the embassy, seems they got the same info from them and only then they were ready to send the app.

I was really frustrated with my lawyer for not being up to date , but in some corner of my mind, this kept on pricking me.

And in my eCas I dont see anything about 'medicals' so far...

Does this look okay or something to look into....

Just wanted to know your experinces too...

I had also sent the upfront medical exam paper to CIC. After my file went In Process last week, the medical results were updated on eCas. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I'm sure they have your medical results with them.

Hey guys, Just wanted to let you know, I contacted my MP's office two days ago. The office called me today, to update me on my application - This is what she said - "Background check still in progress. File is still in queue and pending. I need to wait until Feb 7, 2014 for an update/good news from CIC as that is when the 12 months period ends. And IF I don't hear back from them even then, I should let my MP's office know and then they will send a 'friendly reminder' to CIC enquiring about my file".

 

[Robin_Pandey]

Phewww.... thnx again.....

Welll, good luck with your case and good luck to all forum mebers waiting for their visas and good luck to me too....

Congrats to the 'happy lot'

Hey TorontoSam, Robin,
I'm a bit confused about what the Upfront Medical is. But when my wife got her Meds done at the Delhi office back in mid January 2013, she walked out with a Medical Receipt (a document)....which had her(from what I remember) photo glued on the top right corner stamped with a partial Maple Leaf. There was a medical file number on there and a signature of the physician, at the bottom of the page.
I believe there was a form number at the top corner as well IMMXXX.
This was the form that was sent with my Application.
I'm at work right now so won't be able to take a look at it until I get home this evening.

Feb 7, 2014 is the date your MP office can check your file next time. They can only check every 3 months. No worries, you will hear good news before that. good luck
