Correspondence Letter - July 12, 2019

Her medical was done upfront and before the online application, her biometrics was done last July 10 and was booked online.

She's from Cebu (2nd largest city in Philippines), so the drop off of passport will go round to Manila --- maybe? I will update once she gets the passport back.

Considering July 1 is Canada day.. It took 9-days to turn around this ordinary online application, no expedite, no MP needed... Wow. I'm freaking impressed.

Welcome to Canada mom! I will see you soon!

Can you shed some light on how to go for upfront medical? I am planning to apply for supervisa for my parents in Mar 2023 and thinking of going for upfront medical next week.
