Hi JJ 22
Thanks for writing
First of all, thanks for letting me know about the medical - I just wanted to make sure that my husband did not have to go back to Croatia in case he had to redo them, because initially his medical was done in Zagreb, March 2013. Please let me know where on your application you can see until when your medical is valid? Are you referring to gcms notes?
Second - regarding your situation, I must say I have never heard that Vienna called someone at home to verify if the applicant is there?! This has not happened to us, or at least we don't know of such a phone call- all I can do is tell you about our situation... Our application was received in April 2013 at that time I was in Canada my husband in Zagreb, he joined me in Canada in August 2013 and has been here since... When he entered Canada he got 6 months stay.. and this period expired today actually
However a month ago we applied for an extension for his stay here - we asked for an additional 6 months.. When we got the approval he was granted a year! We were surprised.. so I called CIC to ask why, and they told me that since he has a sponsorship application in process, they know that it usually takes a long time to process and decided to grant him a year stay instead of 6 months.. So -I am sure that in his records Vienna can see that he is currently in Canada - since he received a file number and everything for his extension... however we have not received any e mail from Vienna on his file - only one e mail as a response to our question on AOR for his file a while back.. Do you mind me asking what you parents told Vienna where you are? How long have you been in Canada? Have you received any correspondence regarding your application up until the phone call?
Thanks - Ljiljana
