If you don't get any answer soon you will have to repeat all over again. That sucks! =(

That is incorrect! Many do not hear anything for over a year after getting AOR. They are not working on thier month yet. And as far as medical....sometimes its not updated until they open the file to start working on it....even if its been 12 months, there is a chance for it to be extended.

I advise hat you contact CIC via Webmail and telephone, this is the only way you can put your mind at rest rather than assuming. Good Luck

That is true simpol is right because someone told me it just sits there in pIle until they are done a file

I called CIC few days ago about my medical that I did and the nice agent said they have it but I guess the officers haven't updated yet. He gave me an IEM or something like that, it's a number I need to give them when they ask for my medical to let them know that I have done it.

As its coming close to the 4 month mark where hubbys OWP should be issued...there's an issue/concern that has started to nag at me and I respectfully request your thoughts as I did not even think it would be or might be an issue but now, I cant sleep of late because of it.. ..

Here's the deal...the back story.....I became a PR under the FSW programme back in 2010 (applied in 2006 initially) and had declared my hubby (then common-law) as accompanying and noted I was expecting our son on all forms submitted when they wrote in 2008 requesting updated docs and info - we sent all docs they asked for at the time - job letters, school info, police checks etc and planned to add the baby with his passport details etc. once he was born.

Sadly after our son was born we broke up and we wrote to CIC to advise we'd broken up and that my hubby (then common-law) would no longer be coming to Canada as we broke up. We also submitted at that time his written consent for the baby to be added to the application to move to Canada "in light of the dissolution of our relationship" (literal quote from the letter we sent in '09) we also submitted info on the baby - pp, birth cert, pics etc

Shortly after I submitted the updated docs they called to say they would be sending medical requests out to me and asked that I pay an application fee for the baby because when I submitted the updated docs on our changes I had asked they transfer my then ex-s fees to the baby's application.
They told me they could not apply my ex's fees to the babys app based on how far the app had gone in the process and then sent medical requests for ONLY the baby and I - never thought anything of it as we had notified that hubby (then ex-common-law) wasn't moving to Canada anymore.

We did our medicals and the baby and I became Permanent Residents in 2010 and have been here ever since.

Although apart - we always kept in touch because of our son and would see each other when we visit on holiday and spend time together with our son and after 8 years apart - we reconciled - got married and he's here in Canada on a visitors visa and I filed my inland app and OWP for him

I honestly was not bothered as everything was done according to the rules set out - declared accompanying and then non-accompanying - updated on changes etc BUT NOW because I research so much and read all these forums - I see now where if a family member un-accompanying is not examined they can never be sponsored.

I'm freaking out as he was never examined medically - his police report was submitted and all other docs they asked for BUT CIC never sent medical docs for him to be medically examined.

Questions swirling in my head are:

Will he be excluded as he wasn't medically examined even though they never sent a request for him ??
Did they consider his application withdrawn because we said we broke up and so they didn't send him a medical request and so he's ok ???
Will they broad brush it and say he was never examined soo he's excluded??

I submitted copies of what we sent to CIC back in 09 when we notified them of the changes and also his written consent for the baby with my in-land app as we had nothing to hide then or now......

But as I said - I'm freaking out literally and I'm not a "freaker outer" (lol)-

I also cant see where anyone else had a similar situation to even try to compare notes - all I see is they either were never declared before or they refused to be examined - never one where a request for examination was never sent by CIC...

I was so calm before but now I'm not....
Help!!!

March 2016 applicant here

I wonder about your opinions, we have a very important deadline to apply for school by May 1st for September start of school, but need the PR to be approved by then or the application is not accepted and we will need to waste an entire whole year waiting again for September 2018 instead (after such a long wait already

In your guesses and opinions, should we get our hopes up that PR will be finished by May 1st, or should we just give up hoping and accept that we are likely doomed to wasting another year before resuming school?

I know nobody has any certain answers, but just looking for some opinions to feed into or discourage our hopes and dreams

Thanks

I also applied in March 2016 and Profiler too and so far no SA or AIP. I am keeping hope alive that we will receive it by May 2017.

IMHO, make a decision by 1 May, 2017, prepare as it you are getting it in May 2017. If it does not come by 1 May, 2017, then you have to hold off for 1 year.

Anyone Have The Same Timeline?
Applied Jan 2016
Medical Request Feb 14 2017


1. We haven't received a letter approved in principle. How soon after CIC requesting medical should we receive "Approved In Principle"?

2. How soon after medical exam should everything to get a landing interview? We are located near Saskatoon, SK?

Tacboy, they are now working on Dec 2015 applicants so you will be next. You will probably go straight to DM after you pass the medical. Too bad you did not do medical in Nov 2016.

NO! Absolutely incorrect!!!
They will not have to restart anything just because they simply did not hear from CIC by now. If they don't have anything relevant to send to you, they won't contact you...simple as that....when they're ready they will!

Please be sure of the information you disseminate in this forum; incorrect information will cause unnecessary worry for applicants/sponsors.

CIC has the option to extend the medical. Let's hope they do so.

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me if we withdraw a spousal application or something negative happens to the application , then what happens to the open work permit ?Does it get cancelled or it remains valid up until the expiry date?Coz since the express entry points are going down , we were thinking of that option as well!

Thanks
