Hi Nabaaf
Very well anylyised , I was speaking to one of senior consultant from BC .According to him one visa officer gets 10 to 12 cases to work,after elegibility of PA is done ,the file is sent for BGC and security,while in this process VO has no influence on the time taken to get green signal from agencies,it might depends on location of PA as well , I mean in remote place BGC is little harder and takes longer as compared to other parts of the country.
Once they recieve the updated green signal ,they issue PPR.

God Bless

Are you guys not Canadian citizen? Why would you add your child if it is faster to apply for limited validity passport. Unless of course your not citizen then the only option is to add on child to your spouses pr application. :) congrats..

I am citizen but still need to update NDVO about new born.
 
Well explained post by Singh Grewal for applicants attending interview!

Finally we got the remedical request from NDVO today. They requested:

Completed MEDICAL REPORT CHEST X-RAY REQUISITION AND REPORT form (Page 5 and 6 of IMM5419) (in PDF)
Duly completed Re-assessment Form (Attached herewith)

Will the doctor complete all of the above themselves and send it to NDVO? what should we bring with us to the doctor? What are the next steps. Thank you everyone.
