Hello,
On 16th of April I got an email from CIC stating they are in touch with the Medical Office(On Wednesday, April 16, 2014 9:54:44 AM, CPC-CTD-Ottawa <CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca> wrote):
We are currently in touch with the medical branch with regards to the issue below.
And exactly a week later (today) I got this email claiming I have not responded to their requests.
Here is the letter from the CIC
*************************
I have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a member of the Canadian Experience Class and have determined that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
Subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires. You were asked on July #, 2013 to undergo a medical examination as required under section 16(2)(b) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
A letter was sent to you on August ##, 2013, requesting further medical tests in order to complete the assessment of your application. This letter informed you that if this office did not receive the required evidence and documents from you, your application would be assessed on the basis of the information that was already before the officer. You were warned that failure to provide the additional information could result in the refusal of your application. Another reminder was sent to you on March ##, 2014.
To this date, we have received no communication from you.
Subsection 11(1) of the Act provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act.
Based on the information that is available, I am not satisfied that you are not inadmissible and that you meet the requirements of the Act. I am therefore refusing your application.
Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.
*****************************
I did the e-medicals and not sure why they would need me to communicate over and over and then ignore the communications!!
Kindly advise what I can do (OR may be all):
1) Request the officer to reconsider and reopen - did anyone do it successfully in the past?
2) Reach out to the Medical Office that processed my medicals
3) Reach out to the Local MP - can an MP force a reopening a file? Can he call CIC? One major problem I am having is communicating with CIC - they do not respond to emails and the phone calls do not help as they do not seem to help those who are applying under Canadian Experience Class
4) I have not applied for my Bridge Work Permit yet and I have < 3 months left on my visa. What are the options available to me to apply for a Bridge Work Permit?
