Hi, all,

I am a little lost. I applied from Montreal (Office Sydney N.S) in September 2015, got AOR/UCI/IN Process in December 2015, but till now no Med's Request received yet. Do you know if someone else in a similar situation?
Not the same here, but we applied from Montreal (same office as you) in November, got AOR in early March and still didn't get Med's request

Thanks for sharing info. My AOR is in December, sigh....
Besides that, I heard single applicant usually gets Med's request faster than family application.

Anyone else got AOR in 2015, but still waiting for Med's Request?

So did you apply for the family or for you as an individual ?

Hi I applied in July 2015 and got my AOR in Nov. 2015 so you should give them some more time. As far as I know it takes about 3-4months.

Hey All guys,

I just have one tough question:
My passport will expire in Jan. 2017, and I will certainly need to renew for another one.

However, I just finished the medical exam end of march 2016. It shows now on eCAS that CIC received medical results. I am still waiting for the landing fee request and then the PPR. It may arrive at any time between May 2016 and Jan. 2017.

If the PPR arrives later than June 2016, it remains only 6 months' validity for my passport. I heard that the CIC would require more than 12 months' validity for passport when they need it for issuing visa. Is this true ?

If I renew my passport right away (it would take 2 months to get the new passport), should I report this to CIC as a change of stauts ? If I renew my passport, should I keep the old one for a proof ?

Anybody has experienced the same situation ?

I need your advice on this.
