Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[CanIndUS]

Thanks a lot, dadaum, that is very helpful. An additional complication is that her passport expires within 6 months. I believe they require passport to be valid for at least 6 months. Getting a new passport is going to be significantly lengthy in Canada. Has anyone tried getting a stamping with pp validity less than 6 months? I have seen differring opinions on this on different forums. Hoping someone can share their experience.

I doubt on this. Processing is based on nationality and accordingly the application is processed. Her passport have to be sent to NVDO only

Yes I saw earlier that medical was passed in status and now it shows medical exam reviewed too.

where do you see medical as "passed" or 'reviewed" I can read only as medicals "received"

They do need passport valid for more than 6 months to stamp visa.
Also getting Indian passport should not take you more than 4-6 weeks here in Canada.

My suggestion is to renew the passport right-away, you can explain this to immigration if needed.

All these information is updated on myCIC account. You need to register for myCIC acocunt, if you haven't already.

IRCC does give you the option to submit to your regional visa office or Ottawa.

We got requested to re do medicals from NDVO. originally we got the letter in August 2016 for medicals but i guess they expired. this time they also requested PCC and RPRF.

Question: parents were in Canada on super visa in 2016 for 8 months and 2017 for 6 months. So do we need to get PCC from canada as well since they stayed longer than 6 months?

I really need some help - its murky

Since the flurry of NDVO activity and PCC and medicals and RPRF all were done in 2016 August - we now have a repeat request for the medicals.
My parents were in South Africa at that time and when they applied.
Right now - my dad is in the US with my brother and my mom is with me here in Toronto.
We have limited time to do the medicals - can we go ahead and do them here and in the US(for mom and dad)? Even though the address on the medical form states South African address - As in will this raise any red flags?
They weren't planning on going back for a while in case someone suggests they fly back to South Africa just for a medical.

You can do the medicals anywhere as long as the Panel Physician is approved by IRCC.

Reading all these is very useful for me. Thanks everyone! Has there been talks about the opening time in 2018 for new submissions?

We got PCC request but If parents were in Canada on supervisa for more than 6 months, do we need to get PCC from Canada as well as India? Please advise.

PCC from Canada will be requested on your PCC Request mail/email. If it hasn't been requested, it's not required. I've seen many parents living here on TRV/Super visa and CIC didn't ask for PCC (Canada). They (including mine) were fine not voluntarily providing a PCC (Canada).

Hi Rossei,

out email states:
> Police Certificate: From each country/state where the residence period has been six months or longer since the age of 18, for you and your spouse. This must be received at this office by:

So how do i know whether we should get one from Canada as well?

They have been updating the status on myCIC.
NO PPR yet.

They have been updating the status on myCIC.
NO PPR yet.

Got the re-medical done Nov 14, but no PPR yet, nor has there been any change on myCIC - continues to show 'We are reviewing your medical results'. However, this was the status even before the re-medicals.

IndoCanadian777, can you share when was yr re-medical done, and when/what changes did you see on myCIC?
