Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2017

[rastamanforvere]

Does anyone know if we're required to use a panel physician in our country of residence, or can we cross the border from the US and use a Canadian one?

No need to cross the border, you can use a designated doctor from this panel :

Any idea how much maximum time do the parents have between getting the visa and landing? Is the visa valid for a certain period before they need to land?

they should arrived before Medical will be expired so visa is valid till that date.
My friend had just 2 weeks for landing and it was very stressful - the worst scenario.

When does the medical expire? Is it valid for 1 year?

Hi,

I applied for my parents in July 2017 and Then I got letter in mail from cic stating that I should send representative form and there was no time limit to send that. It was like optional to send or not. I contacted my representative and he did send the form. Then my status changed to in process since Jan 25 and today in mail I got letter again saying that I should send representative form and now there is time limit of month.

Now I am wondering why they keep asking for representative letter again and again. I gave them letter two times already.

Is it means my file is on hold till I send letter or anyone any idea as to what is happening.

Sorry for long message.

Thank you for replying

try to resolve that miscommunication ASAP because yes - you case is on hold now. Call them or best way - load that form BY YOURSELF using

But in anyways do you think that representative form is that important that they can put file on hold. I am so worried.

fax is fine.
Rep.form is important for them because if you have representative you can't link your application, just he can , plus all correspondence go to him , not you so I prefer to keep everything under my own control

Good News:

My parents: Request for submission of passports in 8 months.

I received an email they have to go to Ankara or Istanbul within 30 days in person or through an authorized representative.

Thank you all for all your support.
Good luck everyone
