Today I attached RPRF Payment receipt to CPCO-Cost-Recovery & CPCM-EXTCOM in PDF format and i attached PCC to CPC-CTD-Ottawa.I mentioned UCi No.,Application No.and name in all the emails. I also uploaded PCC in my CIC a/c in view submited applications.In my CIC a/c it immediately shown documents received. This is for my mother DadAum2. I am yet to receive medical instructions etc.
Even I never received an email about medical instructions. I booked an appointment with doctor and when I took my Mom there. Doctor's office found out that there is medical file # already created on eMedical software which means we need to submit medicals. There are many people who are in same boat even #Rossei

Hello,

My parents are on visitor visa here in Canada so can i update their address and give my Canadian address as mailing address in Canada .

what is the process to get visa stamped in Canada so parents don't have to go back. i know the there is option to go to US and come back but what about if cic asked you to send passport to home country visa office instead of Ottawa. Can we change the visa office or is there any way we can ask CIC.

Thanks

Hi Rossei, Thanks you in advance for your input, here is my situation: Before we got SA approved, people here talked about if parents stay in Canada as visitors, would be good idea to info CIC the home address changes. in case missed correspondence.... So I did change my Mom's home address from the one on the file in Jan to the address in Canada through E case. It was easy and fast, took about 5 days to show. NOW, she went back home country after 4 months visiting in Canada to complete all required docs, IME .. and so on by LVO.

So I had to info CIC that her home address has been changed again, BUT, this time, I can not change he address to the address outside Canada through E-case ( Only Canadian Address ), instructions say using Web Form ( LVO ), I DID, however, till today, on her E-case, still showing HOME and Mail address are the same in Canada. NO change!!

Will it be a problem or will affect the future PR process from Local LVO ?

Thanks !!!
You have done your part. If you were receiving email correspondence and/or have successfully linked your app with MyCIC account, further CIC correspondence will come through this. I see that you've already done medical, so next will be PPR. And one can submit passport to either home LVO or CPC-O (see below).

Once you go to change their home address thru E-Cas, it may have an option to choose same address for mailing as well. Click on the link you see in your parents' E-Cas and see for yourself. Just by clicking won't change anything until you submit.

They are already processing it for some especially those whose files were transferred to LVO. I know one guy whose app was in the 2nd batch Purolator 9:43. He got medical and PCC recently. His LVO is Singapore.

Those whose applications moved to Ottawa, I guess they will be processed end of this year or next year. I got AOR and SA and ECAS shows DM for sponsorship. Primary application moved to IN process and then back to Application Received.
I am not complaining. I was not expecting this to take less than a year anyways. 1.5-2 years for the whole process, I am still happy.

My parents received request for Medical and PCC via email, however on MyCIC, there's no request for documents when I clicked into "view my submitted application". So instead of uploading documents, I sent the pdf of the PCC to CPC-Ottawa email, but I was just wondering what's going on with MyCIC, I thought mycic's supposed to better with updating progress. Anyhow, now IME/PPC/RPRF are all submitted to CIC, let's see how long it takes for the next update :)

I have not received RPRF instructions but I paid it anyways. I sent the receipt to CPCM-EXTCOM and NDVO general mailbox and submitted case specific enquiry on New Delhi's site as well.

Hopefully one of the arrows strike. Fingers crossed.

Hi,

My father was asked to see a nephrologist so that the his possible kidney issue can be cleared. Anybody who their parent(s) have experienced this?

Will this affect the approval of the application? I mean, a possible refusal?

Thank you.

My mom had the same issue. There was blood in my mother's urine test. They asked that we redo all the test including ultrasound and see nephrologist. We re did the tests and kidney ultrasounds, the results came out fine. The immigration doctor told me that everything looks good enough that my mom doesn't need to see nephrologist. He just sent the letter to immigration today.. hopefully I hear good news soon..
