hi despoimmigrant did u'r check got cashed from CIC? yours and mine are almost same timeline. Just an update on my case. my resubmitted application reached CIC on june 22nd and it shows that CIC cashed my money order on july 13th. whats the progress on u'r case?
Actually, getting stamping in person option wasn't given to me. The consulate official added it's not a one or two days job anyway, when I asked if I can come with my family (I wanted to finish off this year's DisneyLand trip for my daughter ;-).
A point here: If you want the consulate to fedex back your passports, the only way is to send a fedex envelope with your FEDEX ACCOUNT info. No other mode of payment (like credit card # in the return fedex envelope) will be accepted. For this reason, mine was sent in USPS certified mail and for like 3 days I had to anxiously wait for passports without any tracking number. And, LA consulate took exactly 6 working days to send it back.

Seinfeld which number did you call in LA? Is there any chance to know if LA received the medicals from Ottawa yet or not? They havent replied to any of my emails and I am little anxious to know about that information?Seinfeld said:

Bendjoe - USPS envelope with stamps/tracking no. could work. Basically, the consulate doesn't accept an envelope with a credit card no.
Sukhminder - I didn't call up the consulate. Both the times they reached me which was from a blocked number. Till I got PPR, even my medicals status wasn't updated and wasn't sure if it was accepted fine by Ottawa.
I got the Police certificate request from NY Consulate. I am suprised they are asking me to go and get my medicals done. My doctor already sent them the medical results on May 27th via FedEx. Did people who got Police Certificate requests get the same type of letter?

I can understand your anxiety. However, not to worry.
Once your doctor sends the medical reports to Ottawa, it takes time to be updated. Probably NY CIC did not have the info about your medicals when they sent the request for police certificates. For example, in my case they sent the request for police certificates dated March 25th. However I had undergone medicals on 25th march meaning before they had created police certificate request.
All you have to do is send them a letter with your file #, date of birth, Fedex tracking # and print out of FedEex delivery mentioning your completion of medicals. Make sure you send these details by FedEx/UPS so that you will have the proof handy.

kishankanhaiya dont worry about it too much....CIC is full of surpriseskishankanhaiya said:
people land in canada and start their lives and eCas doesnt get updated with even medicals...It makes sense what DNA said in his reply.i suggest we open a new thread for files getting sent to LA. so that we can track of the timelines for the said consulate too.
sukhminder said:Oh thank you so much for clarifying this. Actually what we have seen is that most of the people who got the PPR had their status changed to "Medicals Received" before they got the actually letter requesting PPR whereas now with your reply its clear that LA CIC DONOT necessarily change the eCas regularly and there are cases where they sent the PPR and still didnt change the eCas status. Your eCas might change on Monday cos that's when I've heard they update eCas information. Thanks again for your reply. Did you figure out if LA CIC would take the passports in person (cos that is THE most fastest and sureshot way to get Visa stamped)kimfromindia said:

Hi everyone,
I 've heard that CIC is asking for a second set of Police Certificates after the medicals are done, so I am wondering if anyone knows do we have to set the WHOLE SET OF CERTIFICATES (me and my spose did state, FBI, our home countries and some other countries, and it took us 1.5 month) or we can just send FBI and state (because we did not leave the country)?

sukhminder and dna, thanks for your replies. I will send them the FedEx proof of delivery for my medicals with the police certificates.
Will keep all posted of my case progress on this forum.

Where did you hear that from? And it depends on "them" also, I mean the CIC. Sometimes some consulate may ask for it and some may not. I had sent every PCC (excluding FBI) to them (LA) without those freaks asking me....just so that whenever someone sees my file, they find the PCCs in place from one year back...lol. You think for yourself and decide....if they would NEED it then they will definitely ask you. If you want to have everything handy just in case they ask then you can request for fresh copies may be state PCCs. Its all catch 22 brothersandar said:
