Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[Tina16]

Anyone here who submitted additional documents online as per IRCC request and then got SA? Please let me know how long it took and what was the request.

Thanks

I received a request on 6/29 to submit my father's death certificate. I submitted the same online on 6/30.
I received the SA by regular mail on 7/18 (the letter was dated 6/30).

why are they recently sending SA in regular mail, i wish they would use email. I am travelling and would have to ask someone to check my mails

I submitted the Option C online on 11 July and send them in post on 18 July which was received by 19 July. NO further communication yet.

Wow nice, thanks for letting me know.. maybe will have to wait little and see if they send anything.
Did you also send the copy my mail?

That is great Tucosword!!
Keeping my fingers crossed and watching my email..... hope to recv the medicals soon too!

Does the medical request state the address where you need to send all the docs?

In general, the designated/approved doctors work with CIC via the eMedical electronic system to record and send IME results to CIC. So you do not need to worry about where to send the results because it is not up to the applicant to do so. Some doctors do not use eMedical though –or it is unavailable in some countries.


From the CIC glossary:

eMedical
An online tool that doctors approved by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to do medical exams use to record and send Immigration Medical Exam (IME) results to CIC. It is more accurate, convenient and faster than paper-based processing.

Hi Thinktriplets...
I agree with your point about CIC uploading the medical exam(this is done by the doctors) - however let me ask, if this is so, and my parents had their medical for supervisa and xrays and all that done 5 weeks ago... do we still need to re-do the medical now?

 

[tucosword]

another member suggested that it won't be needed... only receipts(of the supervisa medical) should be sent.
so i'l stop flogging this dead horse.

if I am you. I would have redone it. It is not worth fighting on this issue with officer who send this request.

Congrats myYahoo. How did you receive the medical request - by regular mail or email?

Hi jhutti,
I note your point.
However, I'm not fighting.. I'l send the receipts of the supervisa medical done 4-5 weeks ago and trust that it's still on the CIC database and then wait to hear from them if this is inadequate.
In addition, I have emailed the New Delhi office asking for clarification. They acknowledged receipt of my email but suggest a reply will be forthcoming in 30 days. The same time as the medical deadline is. So I'l take my chances. I'm not hiding something, it's just less red-tape and pragmatic.
How long would a delay be as a result of my intransigence?

Medical is good for six months, so you are absolutely right in reusing old medical receipt (basically just that barcode page). We have done same thing for my wife's application, so don't worry at all.

I think you do not need to do medicals...

Medicals are valid for at least 6 months...so if you have done your test within 6 months...then you do not need to do.

Same happened with my wife...she had to get her passport redo...hence visa too (long time back)...so 2nd time...she did not have to get her medicals done...as it was within 6 months.

Hi,Tucosword, Jhutti, dchoudh, desi2
this is so many times repeated in this forum that medical is valid for one year and PCC is valid for six months.
