Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[Uk2Can]

Uhm so I guess I pretty much got Decision Made today in a response from London:

"We had a response from Ottawa this morning and they have extended your medical validity to the 6th March 2014. Your file is now ready to be issued and you can expect to receive your Confirmation of Permanent Residence within the next two weeks."

YAY! Congrats! So exciting

Good to know as my pack may be coming direct to Canada or via our old address in the UK.

I assume this means the COPR is posted out from London and not Ottawa then?

CONGRATS MITCHY!!

That's great news! I also heard from CIC this morning, just trying to work out what to do in my head but I will posting my thoughts here a little later (it's good news at last!!)

 

[antz21]

So I am having a bit of a dilemma....

I heard from CIC (YAY!!!! ;D ) and they are ready to start finalising my application, however they have offered to extend my medical results. My medicals run out in May, 3 days BEFORE my last day at work and free flight home to Edmonton (typical - of course there would be one last hoop to jump through, hehe). Along with this offer of a medical extension, they also say that it is not guaranteed therefore I might need to take a new medical exam.

Has anyone had it where they have been offered a medical extension? What is the likelihood that I would have to re-do the medical rather than them grant the extension?

I am travelling for work (in the USA) so I am also looking into where I am close to the border so I can do a flagpole (the opposite way to how everyone else is flagpoling!), however the only time I am close enough to do that is in about 3 weeks, but my COPR will be sent to the UK so it would have to get there in time for my parents to fedex to it me in the USA. (timing is funny as they literally just visited me last week...).

Basically I am weighing up the options between seeing if they will extend the medicals and hoping they do, flagpoling and going back to the USA until the end of my work contract, or the possibility of getting new medicals done.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, my life is like that of a travelling circus monkey But any advice/insight/experience people can give me I would be grateful.

Thanks!

Seems like a no brainer to me to take up their offer of extending the medicals. They can extend them for up to a year - they usually extend it for a year (like they just did for mine).

It is very rare for the extension to be refused. From their replies to me it seems like they have to ask Ottawa who look into it and let London know. The fact they are offering is a good sign that your application is likely to be accepted and if this is the case the medical extension is also likely to be accepted...

Congratulations Michty! Lord knows you've waited long enough!

antz, I would definitely just get the medical extension. I think it's highly unlikely given your circumstances that you would get a refusal!

Does it take a long time to hear back if the extension is granted?

By the sounds of it they are close to finishing my application!

 

[michty6]

They took close to 2 weeks to tell me about the medical extension. I contacted them about it late February, my medicals expired on March 6th and they just extended them/finished off my application today it seems...

Dear Mrs



Thank you for your recent e-mail.



Please be advised that your case is still under review, unfortunately we are unable to provide you with an update at this time.



However, can you please advise us when and where A*****'s medical examination took place?


Does this mean they have lost my daughters medical? If so I knew they would!!!!


How do I actually respond to this? reply to the email or case specific enquiry?
