Hello Everyone,

My condition right now is a bit complicated, and I'm stressed already. Hope anyone could help me answer some questions.

I'm a Thai citizen but living and working in Beijing. My company will relocate me to Montreal, so I had to apply for Canadian work permit.
I applied via Visa Application Center in Beijing, and they collected my passport along with other documents. A couple days later they sent me the form to do the medical exam. I did the exam, and the clinic told me they sent the result to the embassy already. I got online, checked the status, and it said "pending medical results", does that mean the embassy hasn't gotten my medical results from the clinic?!?

one more BIG issue for me is, my Chinese visa will expire on May 1st, I need to extend, otherwise I need to leave China. I saw on the CIC website, that it takes about 3 months after submitting the medical results, if it's REALLY gonna take that long, then my Chinese visa will expire before I know the result of work permit for sure. But since my passport is at Canadian Embassy, I can't either extend or leave China, and I will be in a big trouble. Is there anyway I can go get my passport back for now, get my Chinese visa extended and submit my passport back in Canadian embassy again?

Thank you everyone in advance for answering these questions.
