Hello - I have couple questions to pick your brain :)

1 - I know there are mixed opinions on doing upfront Medical. However, what do you guys recommend me? I'm a november applicant who got AOR on Dec 20th. We may get medical requests in a month or so. Would it make sense to go for upfront medical? or just wait for the request. I'm not sure how busy these doctors are.

2 - Till what stage can a person add spouse to the application? (No, I'm not married yet lol). However, wondering when is the absolute last an applicant can do it. I may get married in few months (fingers crossed lol).

Hi, I am Nov. applicant. I got my BOWP, but I realized that the passport number was wrong. It was an expired passport number. I am swear that I fill up the new passport number. What should I do now? Who or where should I contact?

Also, I move to a new place. Where should I inform that I have moved and changed my address? Can I do it online? or call centre or visa office (Sydney or Ottawa)?

I am guessing Nov applicants are going to have medical request soon. How did they contact you? via email or letter?

Thanks.

You can change your address by logging in to your ECAS.

1 - I would not recommend Upfront Medicals now, because your Actual MR will come with in a month (may be even before that).
2 - I believe you can add a person before they issue you a visa.

I would suggest you to go for upfront medical request if doctor appointment is taking a longer time. If you are getting a doctor appointment with in 1 or 2 days, then you can wait for MR else I would suggest you to go ahead with upfront medicals..

I finally got my first GCSM notes today! exciting! 25 pages! Lots of redundancies. How do I know what is relevant? It looks as if nothing has started yet (I got AOR on Jan 10, 2014) - no criminality, no RCMP, etc. But on page 15 it says:

Application status: 2
App status: open
App status reason: TFR-Eligibility

What does this mean?

I am also more than happy to share my GCMS notes with you, but I am not sure which of the 25 pages might be relevant :)
