New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021

More importantly it looks like there will be a place to submit Medicals and PCC and you might even get away with submitting a recent one provided they deem it okay for the application.

Then 40k!! That's less than half of the total.

Some points that caught my attention:

"You will need to provide IRCC evidence you have applied to complete your medical exam and are seeking police clearance certificates. IRCC suggests that you submit your old medical exam if you have it so it can advise you later in the application process whether you will need to submit another one."

"IRCC expects to be able to process a total of 40,000 permanent residence applications under the streams in 2021. This means that the majority of applicants can expect to obtain their permanent residence status in 2022." - Bummer

Wait for the updated form first. Our category is not up there yet.

Thanks that’s what I was confused about

HOLY SH*T. Applications don't have to signed?!?!?!? Only electronic signatures? I'm dead.

Phew, my worries about not being able to have access to a printer have been thrown out of the window.

How much is a printer 80 bucks? You're aware of all the costs associated with your application ,right?

I'm a bit bummed with processing times, not even half of the applications are going to be processed this year...Which makes me wonder, how is IRCC going to process those?

By stream? ex. healthcare workers get priority (?)
By date of submission? (aka May 6th applicants have more chances of getting it early)
By completeness? (aka people who upload medicals and pcc upfront?)

This has made me decide to apply for CEC as well as soon as I'm eligible. Sorry but I don't think I can trust IRCC with processing times. At all.

Whoever paid the fee in advance, you're okay! We will be required to upload the official receipt

does it mean if we booked for medical, and upload confirmation it may work?

That's what I'm going to do, I have printed out the email correspondence that shows proof of having made and scheduled an appointment date.

and can we upload medical later?

and can we upload medical later?

According to this chatty lawyer, you need to upload something in order to be able to submit your application. So, you will need to upload SOMETHING. That can be a confirmation of appointment in the future.

For PCC would we need to submit RCMP police check as well or only countries we've lived more than 6months?

Do we need to submit PCC upfront I didn’t apply it yet, can we submit it later?
