I am a worrier by nature ..:) Good to know! I had no idea regarding the RME. Interesting.. Learned something again.
When I told my hubby about your response, he was greatly relieved..:) I doubt the stroke will be a problem as he is stable, can walk and makes dinner, needing minimal help. His speech is improving, he has aphasia. PT and ST have to be paid out of pocket anyway, so he really is no burden for Canada. Besides he has been here for over 3 years and there has been no problem.Good to know some options though, just in case.

The PP was great, we filled out the stuff together. A nice guy. The one I had way back when in Germany in 1984 wasn't half as nice..

Regarding Warsaw: I was referring to the conflicting info on his visitor's visa ( where it states that his Country of Birth is USA) However, we made a copy of his passport which of course states that he is a US citizen and his place of birth is Warsaw, Poland..I was wondering that because of those discrepancies I am not able to access our account via GCKEY. It's quite annoying..

Root Canals...Oh my, I have had my share ..And a few did not take and then I had the tooth pulled and even some surgery.. no fun. In general I am afraid of dentists ( butcher's in Germany) and when I had my first root canal I had a drink or two..lol Hubby had dental work done as well last year, ouch to the wallet..:( But- he is so much braver than I am..lol
Stable or not, it won't matter. For Family Class sponsorships, there is no demand problem. Really they are looking for: TB (chest x-ray), HIV (which they still permit, but I think there is a special clause), Syphilis (which the doc finds via blood test, and starts treating immediately), etc. Stroke, heart, etc; no issue.

I am glad to hear he is recovering! My dad had a stroke as a result of a special syndrome (who's name escapes me). The clot is lodged within his brainstem. My mom is an RPN with decades of time working with stroke victims. She was on him immediately to start relearning. So, present day, the risk of stroke or issue from the previous event is near zero. He has regained everything. Mentally, he gets overwhelmed by crowds and traffic. Otherwise, nothing lasting.

So, really, don't worry at all. You're still on the right timeline, and the medical won't be a big deal. Promise :)

Are you sure it's not the other way around?
Should read:
Sponsorship Application: In Process
Permanent Residence Application Application Received

Also, they are just starting November I believe. So I am not surprised there is no activity yet in ECAS. The medical is a good sign, though.

That's abnormal. Did they send an AOR? Anything? What does it say when you click the link for Sponsorship Application (remove personal details)?

You might want to call and ask why your Sponsorship application hasn't started...

On the Permanent resident side it says we received your application on December1 and started processing on Dec 19.

My husband got the official "Your application is completed." Now we're waiting for the Etobicoke office to contact us.

My problem: I don't have ID with our current address (no driver's license) and we're now month-to-month so no lease (had a lease from 2015-2016). Anyone know if bringing bills with my address on it suffice?

Should be fine. Also, I assume you have an OHIP card (for Photo ID).

Kitchener didn't even bother to check my ID at all...

Unless they changed the process, this is what I would consider abnormal. My Sponsorship application was "In Process" about a month after submission, and it didn't change until she got her AIP (roughly). So, if it was me, I might call to ask why they haven't opened the Sponsorship Application yet. Could just be a bug in the system?

Yep, I have my health card. I was just worried since I don't have photo ID with the address on it.

I wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't asked tbh, but I don't want to rely on lady luck. We're so close to being done!

Thank you :)

Health card is not an acceptable form of photo ID in Ontario for some reason... lol but maybe in this case because they want to verify they may accept it.

Hi All,
My wife is October 2016 applicant. she got OWP since February 2017, nothing else since then.
We need some advice about the Medicals.
We submitted up-front an incomplete exam because during the exam we found out my wife was pregnant so cannot do the X-ray. after the birth of our child in April, we called the call center enquiring about completing the exam, we have been told it might be not necessary and we should wait for a request from CIC.
Today our Local MP told us that the medical exam is not accepted yet because of incomplete, If this has not been done yet, please contact the panel physician to complete the exams. This should save us time in the process.

My wife did the exams back in China. We contacted a couple of physicians from the panel in Montreal to complete the exam.and we have been told it is uncommon and they can just open a new file and proceed with new exams.

Should we wait for medicals request from CIC or proceed with new exams like the MP recommend?

Many thanks

Yeah, it may depend. I have a valid passport so that should work if the health card doesn't. I'm just worried since I don't have photo ID with my current address lol.
