Hello all,
I received my Medicals Request (MR) two weeks ago from CHC London via TCS. Almost missed it, as TCS does NOT deliver the package but rather calls you to their office to collect it (with original passport/NIC etc). They kept calling on my home phone which went unanswered for two days. Luckily I was in during their third call.
Inside the package were two form letters, Medical Forms for my family, plus some returned originals(my Police Certificates, IELTS report, Children's Birth Certificates, University Transcripts etc.). The first form letter instructed me to provide the following documents within 60 days. There followed a VERY long list (which went on two pages) but luckily the ONLY two items checked on my form letter were (a) Medical Reports, and (b) Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). The second form letter gave instructions on how to arrange the Medical appointment. There was also an enclosure on how to prepare the RPRF draft, and a reply label.
From the above, I can conclude that at the time of receiving their Medical Request (MR) some applicants might be required to provide a truckload of repeat documentation (which was mercifully not asked of me). I have no idea why I was spared. Perhaps I did a good job of filling in the forms
, or more probably the forms for myself and my family were relatively straightforward with no complications.
I had the RPRF bank draft (for Canadian Dollars 980 made) and couriered back to CHC London ALONG with a copy of the form letter, and then underwent the Medicals Interview. I made it a point to remind the Designated Medical Practitioner (DMP) (i.e. the Doc) that my medical reports were to be forwarded to CHC London and not to New Delhi as per previous procedure for some applicants.
Waiting for the next step now which should be the letter/email from CHC London asking for photographs and copies of current passports. On the other hand, I could get unlucky and get repeat medicals (as some other people on the forum). I'll keep you folks posted.
By the way, there was NO VERIFICATION, or at least none that I am aware of. There were no calls received at my or my spouse's place of work.
Regards,
wbmaple
