Two EE PNP/CEC case-specific questions

[omstar]

Howdy folks,

Hope this message finds you all well.

I just received my ITA for EE in both {BC}PNP & CEC on February 10th.

1.) I completed my medical on July 9th, 2015 - technically the six-month validity period that CIC is requesting would have expired the (recently) passed 9th of February. My complete submission (minus FBI PCC [due to current processing times]) are scheduled for final upload in the next 12 days, upon receipt of my 2015 T-4's and RCMP PCC. Do you think if I submit my medical with 5 months validity (instead of requested 6) my file will be automatically refused/cancelled?

2.) Lastly, regarding the 'personal activities' section of the questionnaire, are we allowed to have overlapping activities? It would make sense, that for example, I was enrolled in university at the same time as working, and potentially switching jobs and traveling over the summer. Why do they use such a nonsensical chronological timeline that doesn't go beyond institutional norms (name of employer, school, organization)? Some of us aren't squares, and actually like to travel and backpack also, thank you very much. Pardon the rant, but it seems silly. How'd you guys manage to successfully satisfy system requirements for your personal activities time line?

Likely to be the case. IRCC explicitly asks for the medicals to be not more than 6 months old at submission. You can risk it if you feel particularly lucky though.

You don't have to provide all the information of what you were up to at any given period in time. One does take the occasional week off while being employed but that week won't be listed separately under Personal history. That will still be subsumed under the larger period of being 'Employed'. Similarly, part-time work while studying need not be a separate line item - just have 1 line item of 'Education' for that entire duration. The important thing under Personal history is to ensure one doesn't leave any gaps in between.

The results of your exam must be valid at the time you submit your application for permanent residence. For this reason, it is a good idea to complete the exam as close as possible to the date you submit your online application.
