I don't see the peoples who medicals have expired in the last month get any request for remeds,,,,,all I see being done now is the issuing for PPR,,,,,,so the applicants cant find another way into Canada,,,,,,I think were all screwed if the strike doesn't end soon
Maybe they just extend the medical's validity since this strike is some unforeseen and unfortunate event?

I really doubt that will happen,,,,this is a government standard procedure, you cant come into the country without a valid medicl in the last year,, :eek: :eek: :eek: IT WAS UNFORSEEN THAT THEY SUPPOSEDLY SENT ME AN EMAIL IN AUGUST 1,2012 AND I DINT RECEIVE THAT REQUEST UNTIL FEB 28,2013,,,,AND THEN THEY WAIT 4 MORE MONTHS FOR A VO OFFICER TO LOOK AT IT

The slowdown in processing applications is affecting tourists, businesspeople, temporary foreign workers and international students and the union believes it's having a "severe" economic impact. The tourism industry has estimated it could lose at least $280 million this summer :eek: :eek: :eek: WHO CARES

Yes tagum WHO CARES!!!! I still believe that the family is the core of every society and thus family reunification should always be priority... Well that's just my viewpoint the government has obviously another priority in mind.

did you go through it all,,,,,,i kept finding new things each time I went through it,,,,,i found places where things were not completed but in the end I realized there was at least 1 spot where each item was completed and passed, IT WAS ALL COMPLETED BY JULY 25,2012, 13 MONTHS AGO,,i had 46 pages,,,,things were done differently a year ago,,,,,CEM always changing the order of how they do things,,,,PPR use to be asked for the first week they got the app,,,,a few months ago it was near the end of the app,,,,,but now I think they changed it so its it the mid section of the application time,,,,I THINK THE CHANGES ARE DONE PURPOSELY TO CONFUSE FORUM READERS LOL

Yup i think i got it all.. The only thing that caught my attention was that security and criminality is still not started .. Tommorrow i'll be placing a new request for gcms notes .. I think i do understand how to read the gcms notes .. Still bothered why they havent started it it was written there it was due febuary 2013 but the last time they updated it was july 4th and nothing happen still pop up not started .. But on the report from july 4 .. Medical was good till oct 27 2013 and it passed . Nbi was dated oct 17 2012 : nothing on file .. Then it was also written nso marriage certif included that it is enough to prove relationship..

yes each item is given to a different person (philipino administrative helpers) to have the details checked for the VO,,,,,,somepeople mite be more swamped or out on sick leave more,,,,and your items get undone until the VO,,,,yells at them to get it done
