Hi Everyone ,

I am new to this forum and It will be great if you can help me out.

I got my AOR on 18/02/2016 and PPR on 12/08/2016 from London office.

But I have Following issues and I am not sure what to do.

1. I need to submit my passport by 12/09/2016. But Unfortunately I have another trip planned and it clashes with the PPR dates. I have already bought my flight tickets and paid for hotel bookings. It all non-refundable. Is there any way to get an extension on PPR. Has anyone ever gotten a PPR extension ?
Yes, you can request an extension. But they may deny the request.

2. My medicals is expiring on 23/09/2016 . There is not way i can land in Canada by then. So what should I do about it ?
You may be able to request an extension. Otherwise, you will need to have another medical done.

Please help me out ... I feel very stressed about all this even after receiving my PPR.

Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone, I need help. If an offshore EE applicant becomes inland, does the country of residence have to be changed in the EE profile to Canada??

Please reply soon

Yes.

Thank you istari for your reply.

Have you heard of any cases where CIC has granted PPR deadline extension ?

Thank you istari for your reply.

Yes, but it's usually because the applicant's passport is going to expire, and they require time for the new one to be issued.

Please get this sorted out BEFORE you start traveling. Ensure that your VO has agreed to provide an extension and then go on the trip. If, unfortunately, they deny you extension, then you might have to re-plan your trip.

2. My medicals is expiring on 23/09/2016 . There is not way i can land in Canada by then. So what should I do about it ?

You MUST land before your medical test expires. If you have a very compelling reason as to why you cannot land, you can raise a CSE and mention the same. Ensure that they provide you an extension; If they don't (and you don't land before this date), your COPR and your visa will be voided and you have to start from scratch.

Is it not possible to get a second medical done ?

Is it not possible to get a second medical done ?

I haven't heard people going for this option unless and otherwise they have very compelling reasons (Death of a family member etc). Usually, if the applicant doesn't want to move to Canada immediately, they do a "short landing" (ie) Land, "Activate" PR status, apply for a SSN and move back to their home country. They would come back as a PR at a later point in time.

One scenario where you might be able to extend the medicals is when IRCC takes more than 12 months from your medical test date to provide a decision on your application. Not being able to land before the medical test expires for reasons that are not compelling are usually not entertained from what I have heard.

I ask because CIC's website (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp) says:
"Your medical exam results are valid for 12 months only. If you do not come to Canada as a permanent resident within that time, you may need to have another exam."

But from what you've said, I suppose that applies only to specific scenarios.

Yes, it is possible however, it is up to the discretion of the officer to allow a late landing OR a re-medical. Not worth the risk and not at all okay to "assume" that the request would be granted.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

What are the problems in getting the PR by choosing married, but not bringing the spouse and sponsor PR to the spouse later?

I understand that there is a 2 year wait and medical requirement. The two year wait can always be worked around by a tourist visa and medical requirement is something that is inevitable in any application mode.

Anything apart from that? I have seen some saying that this route might involve more paper work. But paper work can never be avoided in any immigration process and some point or the other, one ought to deal with it.

Is this option is not way better than not getting PR at all by choosing bringing the spouse option (due to lower points)? Why people are recommending against taking that route? Am I missing something here? Can someone specifically point out the difficulties or potential complications in taking this route?

If you are going to mention spouse not accompanying, is your points going to increase significantly to get direct ITA? If yes, then it makes sense. Another option to improve points to get ITA is to get a provincial nomination which will add 600 points to your existing CRS thereby making you eligible to receive ITA.

The reason why people suggest that you include spouse in the application than not to (just for the sake of points) is all related to the time, money and effort which you need to put in again. If you meet the eligibility requirements of spouse sponsorship whenever you apply and do not mind going through a similar or probably even lengthier process again, then it is your choice.

Check out this link where OINP posts updates related to PNP http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNPNEW.html

Once OINP gets the 2017 quota approved by the Federal government, they are expected to start issuing nominations, but no one knows when and what would be the cut-off. Unless you have any official update, everything is just speculation.
