Hello, I know that the CIC are working on the 2020 applications. And nothing has been open since.

I have a few questions:

1) Do we know when the new application process will begin?
2) I would like to be prepared with all the documents to submit for when the quota opens again, do we know what documents are required?

Please let me know.

Thank you

Try clicking on the link that is embedded in the pdf letter that you sent you. In my case this is the one https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how.html

Here you will have an option to choose a country, if you choose Canada from the list... you will be directed to the below link

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/canada.html

In one of the section you will find the below text

Police certificate and IRCC requirements
You don’t need to provide a police certificate when you apply for permanent residence in Canada. We’ll tell you if you need a Canadian criminal record check while your application is being processed.

In my case, i.e., letter they have not asked for Canada specifically, but only the home country.
Thank you

Hei cant we send upfront medical? I am in the process of uploading PCC and other info request. I guess we have to wait long to get the medical request?
Do share your experience of PCC submission.

I noticed the system asked for expiry date of the pcc, not sure what to put if there is no exp. date written in the certificate. Also, how to submit multiple pcc with different issue dates? below are something that I am planing to do

  1. Writting an explanation letter and attaching PCCs on it
  2. Putting earliest issue date among multiple certificates (no issue if there is only one pcc)
  3. Putting exp. date one year from the issue date mentioned in 2

I was able to link my app in GC key account. So I am seeing the location for uploading pcc both for my parents . I was also provided option to send them via email (they shared an email address).

I was confused about the PCC, as my parents stayed more than 6 months in Canada last year. But later on I found in Forum that, PCC is only required from Backhome country.

If you choose to send via email, make sure the combine file size of all the files attached in the email do not exceed 5 MB.

Hi guys, yesterday I received an email regarding option C, but I had already given it to them as they had requested earlier in March, and I have the acknowledgement letter issued by CPC Mississauga. What should I do? Should I submit the acknowledgement letter of the option C form or deposit the option C form again?

I applied visitor record extension for my mom in May and today she received the medical exam request. Both my parents are in Canada now as temp visitor. I know the med exam is not for the PR but it could fast track the process as an "up front med exam for PR". My dad gonna do the med exam as "up front" as well so their process can be on the same page.

What are the best way to acknowledge IRCC about the up front med exam results? Send through Wed Form or upload on the GCkey secure system? Or do I need to do anything maybe the Panel Physician will send to IRCC so I just wait the med exam results show up automatically online?
