When does the clock start?

When does the actual clock start ticking?

From the time the medical request is sent by CHC to the applicant?
Or from the time the medicals are taken by the applicant at the hospital?

When does the actual clock start ticking?

The moment when you put some new batteries in.

Wow! we have got really creative folks around! clock starts when the batteries are put!! great... I was not aware of this!

Jokes apart!

Could you answer my question? Sarcasm is good; but it would be better if you could answer the rest of the piece too!

Please can some seniors respond? I thought this was a straight forward question - with one of the 2 options I mentioned to be actually correct.

When does the Permanent Resident Visa time period of 1 year start - "From the time the medical request is sent by CHC to the applicant" or "from the time the medicals are taken by the applicant at the hospital"?

From the day you've had your medicals done. And by the way you dont do them at hospitals as you said. Theres someone called a DMP who you'll need to see to get medical tests carried out.

I will say it in a simple way:
Say you go for your medicals on october 1st 2009 and the doctor sends the result off to the HIC and it was received by the CHC on the 10th of october 2009. Your visa will be valid until the 9th of october 2011.
The valid from date is different depending on visa offices. Some have been given 10months, 6months e.tc. I know of a guy that was given 4days ONLY. He did his medicals on july 24 2008. The doctor sent it off to CHC london on august 4th 2008, it was received by london CHC on august 5th 2008. His visa was issued on the 27th of july 2009 and was valid till AUGUST 4th, 2009. I hope this answers your question. If you don't land and your visa expires, you have to re-apply if you still want to immigrate. No guarantee for visa being issued and your application will be processed based on the new rules in place.
Good luck.

hey Tonsils Hockey and chandan - thank you for your responses.

That gives a good clarity...

However, Chandan, in your example, I guess you meant 9th of Oct 2010 (and not 2011)?

 

[chandan]

My mistake, i meant to say 9th of Oct, 2010.
