Hi we received our copr today in the post today which has an expiry date of june 2016.

We had previously written to london to ask if our medicals could be extended (they expire this week). We never heard anything back but looks like they did extend them.

Good luck to you all.

Hi everyone.

I got email yesterday from LVO.

1st paragraph, they notified me that my medical will expire on 19-9-2015

2nd they told that they have procedure to reassess current medical results and determine extension of your medical, therefore, please provide following

- Countries visited or residence since the date of original medical, including all business/any trips, holidays/vacations or stop overs of any duration.
- Details of illness, however minor or temporary since medical date.

after reassessment if extension is not granted then repeat medical instructions will be sent.


please suggest/comment on following response I'm thinking about

Reply A:
Can simply reply email/attach pdf cover letter, to let them know that I neither visited any country nor any medical illness since the original medical?

Reply B:
email/cover letter + plus pdf attachment of my all passport pages as evidence of no visit?

C: please share your experience if anyone replied to such email? that I may follow

@Andrew-brit / Snook: please update spreadsheet as well beside your suggestions on above.

Spreadsheet updated.

If the email indicates that you can reply with the requested information then do that. Provide everything they ask for.

If the email indicates not to reply then submit a case specific enquiry with the requested information.

My medical expires before yours, so where is my email London? Hmmm?

I have not received a new medical request or details of countries visited/new health conditions... my medical expired 3 days after I went 'in process'. Seems to be like everything else, no set procedure, just down to the whim of the officer looking at your case ???

hey everyone! i'm finally ready to post on this board!!! please add me to the spreadsheet - my application was received in Mississauga on June 4, in process on July 10, DM on July 30 (i have not received my letter yet but was impatient enough to call CIC and got verbal SA confirmation ;) ), and ECAS is showing in process for my husband's PR application.. i'm skeptical that it's already reached London and in processing already, but at least it means the application is on the move and in the right hands :)

Hi Guys,

In short see my timeline, resident of UAE Pakistani national file transferred to LVO instead of ADVO.

Now please guys guide me and share your experience about processing time as i can see on web 28 months which is totally not acceptable :-[

Please add my timeline on London spreadsheet :(

I believe they start reviewing applications month wise, don't consider the order of dates in that month. otherwise you should have been asked first as you have applied in the beginning of Oct. i observed same when late sep applicants got response earlier. however, gap is not that great in straight forward cases. I believe you gonna get response within a week or 2.
good luck

The Permanent Residence part already shows in process?

I also need the principal applicant's current location (column N).
