How much time do you people think it takes for Embassy to get a security clearance ? Police certificates are provided but they do their own check. So how much time do you think ?

Candidates are only mother and two children. No military background and all.
 
What is showing on ECAS in your case.

Hi guys,

Ok got the GCMS notes yesterday and there is some bad news for us. My father in law failed the medical exam but others in the family passed. He is the primary applicant. They have a note in there from May 2013 mentioning the reason but so far we haven't received any official letter either in India or in Canada.

Now for the reason they failed my father-in-law, he has already been treated for it in July. Anyone knows what are we supposed to do? Wait till we get a letter? Or do something proactively?

Thanks.

Very well said....I don't understand how all of sudden now these parents have become burden on them....they are not recognizing the hard work and effort that these immigrants have made to build the economy of this country...have they ever seen a immigrant on street like actual Canadians do....
Also when we sponsor parents they check if we can afford them. They look at our income etc. so how can they be burden on the Canadian economy. It might be a burden on children who sponsor, not the country itself.
 
Could anybody here help me in this situation? I'm going through sleepless night recently and am so worried. My situation is that:
My sister sponsors me (her brother) and my mom. My dad is not accompanying with us to Canada. But all three of us (my mom, mom dad and me) are required to go through medical examination. We just finished all the tests. 6 weeks after doing medical examination , on August 24th , my dad was required for further medical information even though he is a non-accompanying member. And he's done testing on August 30th. He is diagnosed with Hepatitis C and cirrhosis which may cause him inadmissible on medical ground. I'm going through hell right now knowing that if a non-accompanying member is found inadmissible, it will render the principal applicant (my mom) inadmissible. So I ( a dependent child) will be found inadmissible as well. Could anybody give my some advice one this? How to get through this situation. After waiting for more than 5 years, I feel like the sky is falling.Please help.

Does it mean that if the principal applicant is inadmissible due to health reasons, then all the case will fail?

Not just Principal, anyone fails then all are inadmissible ( even if they are accompanying or not )
 
I'm so sad. The rule does not make any sense to me at all. What if there are many members on the application accompanying to Canada and there's only a member (even if he/she is not accompany ) found inadmissible, then all will fail?? Please, give me some advice/suggestions, if there's anything I can do now to get through this?
 
HELLO SOME NEWS TO SHARE , HOWEVER WETHER IT IS GOOD OR BAD I DONT KNOW ,
IF USER 828 CAN HELP US FROM THIS.. HERE I AM POSTING THIS NEWS

30 August 2013 - Federal Government Offers Sizeable Wage Hikes to Other Unions while Allowing Damage from Foreign Service Strike to Mount
As Canada’s Foreign Service officer strike enters its sixth month and the damage to the Canadian economy continues to mount, the Government of Canada has reached settlements in recent weeks with two other public service unions by offering them wage hikes which equal or exceed those requested by the Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO).

On August 9, Treasury Board reached a tentative agreement with the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) giving members of the Engineering and Scientific Support (EG) group a “retention allowance” of 1.5% starting in 2013, plus an additional “terminable allowance” of $3,600 per year to members of the EG and General Technical Services (GT) groups working at the Coast Guard. Meanwhile, members of PSAC’s Technical Inspection (TI) group will see a pre-existing annual terminable allowance of $3,000 to $10,000 rolled into their base salary and a new terminable allowance of $6,000 per year will be created.

Additionally, the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers (UCCO) revealed August 16 that a tentative agreement which had been reached weeks earlier but was embargoed at the Government’s insistence will provide an annual allowance of $1,750 to all members effective June 2013.

These pay hikes go well beyond what is referred to as the “pattern” wage settlement accepted by most federal unions in this round of bargaining. The “pattern” includes pay increases of 1.5% per year (a figure far beneath the rate of inflation and wage growth in the wider economy, it should be noted) plus a one-time 0.75% increase for accepting the elimination of severance pay. The agreements reached with PSAC and UCCO include these “pattern” increases, but will expand the payroll for the affected groups by an additional 3% and 2.5% respectively.

“Since day one, PAFSO has stressed that equal pay for diplomats would cost less than 2.5% of the Foreign Service payroll,” said PAFSO president Tim Edwards. “These two latest settlements are proof positive that Treasury Board is more than capable of addressing our long-standing wage gaps. They also provide further evidence that the Government has singled out the Foreign Service for discriminatory treatment.”

“This is more than ‘hard bargaining’,” continued Mr. Edwards. “The Government’s persistent disinterest in resolving our dispute, despite the severe and mounting impacts on the Canadian economy, shows they are more concerned with punishing public servants who stand-up to their bully tactics, than seeking a responsible compromise which would end the strike.

“If Treasury Board can offer more than the pattern settlement to other unions, there is no reason it can’t do the same for us.”

Canada’s Foreign Service has been without a contract since June 2011. The key issue remains PAFSO's request for equal pay for equal work. Specifically, the union is seeking wage adjustments to keep Foreign Service officer pay in line with comparable employment groups in the federal government – including lawyers, economists, policy analysts, and commerce officers – who perform the same work, often side-by-side with Foreign Service officers. At present, Foreign Service officers are paid $3,000 to $14,000 less per year.

On July 18, PAFSO proposed a responsible way out of the current impasse by offering to take the dispute to binding arbitration, an alternative which would have put an end to job action. Treasury Board president Tony Clement responded by seeking to impose paralyzing preconditions on the arbitration process which he knew PAFSO could not reasonably accept as they would have predetermined the outcome in the Government’s favour. As a result, PAFSO filed a bad-faith bargaining complaint against the Government on July 31. A hearing was held at the Public Service Labour Relations Board on August 21 and both sides are currently awaiting the adjudicator’s ruling.

Separately, Mr. Edwards will lead PAFSO’s participation in this year’s Ottawa Labour Day Parade on Monday, September 2. The parade will begin at noon outside Ottawa City Hall at the intersection of Elgin and Lisgar Streets, and end around 1 p.m. at McNabb Park at the intersection of Bronson and Gladstone streets. Mr. Edwards will be available to speak with the media.

It makes sense because if immigration gives PR to you and your mother only, your mother could sponsor your father right away and as a spouse, he could not be found medically inadmissible because of excessive demand on health care. Therefore immigration says none of you get in.

The only chance would be if your mother divorces your father. Then he can be excluded from the application completely.
 
Yesterday(30th day after applyng for GCMS) i got mail from them which said that it will tak now 5o days to provide GCMS notes against 30 days..we will provide GCMS notes after 20 days from now...
 
To eric Lenon, He is diagnosed with Hepatitis C and cirrhosis
To Lenon, but my dad has already done the further medical examination one day ago. Every tests are all done. And we just submitted to Singapore Office the updated form IMM5669E Schedule A Background/Declaration for all three of us which stated the marital status. And the newest Certificate of No Criminal Records of my mom and my dad have also already been submitted and stated the marital status. If they choose to divorce now, I think it may cause big suspicion for CIC. I don't know what to do right now. I invested so much heart and mind in this for 5 years, study hard and continuously, and now ... Please tell me what i can do in this situation. Will CIC allow my dad to take drugs and some kind of injection to cure his disease, and give us time , so he would not be deemed as inadmissible any more?

Q. I want to sponsor my parents to
come to Canada, however, my
father is in poor health. What if he
is medically inadmissible?
A. Every applicant seeking permanent
residence status must take a medical
and be medically admissible. In the
event that the visa post refuses your
father¹s application because of
medical inadmissibility, you have the
right to appeal this refusal to the
Appeal Division of the Immigration
and Refugee Board. There will be a
Court hearing held in Canada, and
the Court, namely the Appeal
Division, has the jurisdiction to
consider humanitarian and
compassionate factors and to allow
your parents to come to Canada,
even if your father is medically
inadmissible.
