And I can add you to the Ottawa spreadsheet if you like.tinytortoise said:Yes, thought we'd get the application out sooner but holidays got in the way
I may be totally off base here but ifCIC is working on the new system (GCMS) and its migration from CAIPS and FOSS then this may be the cause all of the update and de-update issues. I even checked the CIC website a few days back and most of the processing timeframes by visa office were gone, only a few had the number of months, the rest had dashes in them. A couple of hours later they were back.jazztap said:
I wouldn't at this point... CIC can, and quite often does, extend medicals if they expire before COPR is issued. Just wait and see if they run out before your file is process, and then if they need them, they will request that they be redone. But it is likely they will extend..Line said:Ok. Thanks. one more question. My husband's medical will expire in May. Should I ask them if I need to make arrangements to have it re-done? Hopefully his dependent, who is no longer a dependent as he turned 22 on Jan. 14th and who is not accompanying him to Canada, won't have to re-do it as well. thanks again. The information we get from people like you out of this forum is absolutely invaluable
You can ask, yes. But they will probably just extend it without telling you anything. They never told us that my husband's medical has been extended until we actually got the COPR in hand and it showed that the COPR would expire Dec 2013 (not a typo haha)Line said:Ok.

It takes UP TO 16-18 weeks. Ours took 12 weeks. I honestly would wait for it to get in, then there won't be any delays. But that's just my opinion. You can send it without it, but it may cause delays, OR it might get sent back to you as incomplete.Foster said:
Yes, I agree with Parker... wait for it and send with the application or you risk having the whole application returned to you as "incomplete". We just did our FBI check in October and it took about 5 weeks.Foster said:
Even scarier, a few people have sent in the application then the FBI check later, and had CRC lose the FBI check, having to spend another 4 months getting another one!IslandAnnie said:
Ok so with that being said. My husband is here and his stamp on his passport say march 2013. Now my husband is applying for an extension of stay what happens then? Cause obviously we need to wait 4 months til the check is done. Frustration is starting to arise sighOccasita said:Even scarier, a few people have sent in the application then the FBI check later, and had CRC lose the FBI check, having to spend another 4 months getting another one!
IMO, it is too risky, but I do understand that 4 months is a long time
