Moga 1 Posted September 30, 2020 3 hours ago, Ozzie1404 said: Aren’t IRCC case officers supposed to be consistent and consider the medical report’s validity with the same view. Instead, of having some case officers accepting expired medical records and some disregarding them.???? I believe the medical reassessment will be for persons other than M1 profile. For M1 it gets extended by 6 months to 1 year based on their medical expiry date. It's just my understanding.M Profile: 1 Description: No health impairment sufficient to prevent admission for medical reasons under Section 38 (1)(a) S Profile: 1 Description: No surveillance required.

Tarryn8 2 Posted September 30, 2020 You would think there would be a solid process about what would happen when your medicals expire like it would have been previously without the impact of Covid, but given the current circumstances you can also understand the side of applicants not wanting to spend money for remeds if they don't have to. I honestly think they(IRCC) are also trying to figure the process out too after the bombshell that was Covid. It appears that you may be lucky to get an extension if you fell within the M1 group but I have seen some people in M1 group asked for remeds too.. kinda seems like the luck of the draw really.

LouiseV36 7 Posted October 21, 2020 We received our golden email yesterday. (AOR Nov 20, 2019) It has now sunk in. Passports will be on their way to VFS shortly. We are looking at Ottawa for a start. Hoping restrictions lift soon and we can fly beginning of next year. Last Christmas here for us. Good luck to those still waiting. Hopefully your golden e-mail is just around the corner.

We will be relocating to NB and city yet to be decided upon. I'm a Financial Manager (CA (SA)) and really not sure which city in NB has the best prospects going forward. We leaning towards Fredericton. Best of luck to all waiting for their golden emails as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tarryn8 2 Posted October 22, 2020 Hi Everyone, So motivating seeing some PPR's come through recently. Congrats to all who have received their outcomes!😁 Just wondering if those of you who recently received your golden emails, if your applications were perhaps with the Nova Scotia office from the word go by any chance or if you started at a different office and your application was later moved to NS? Seems NS is pumping out PPR's (specifically PNP) compared to the others at the moment. Thanks! Tarryn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might just take you up on this. We are probably going to go to Ottawa when we land. We are watching the travel restrictions like a hawk hoping that they are going to change soon. I have started sorting out the house and this weekend we have a few DIY chores around the house so we can get it onto the market. I cannot wait for the day we hand in our resignations. But right now we just sitting tightlipped until we know we can leave. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also received a letter we cannot travel until restrictions are eased. Therefore in so much doubt and have a bitter sweet feeling now. Do not know if we should cancel schooling, rental apartment or even quit my job (have 3 months notice period). Just so confused at this point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clay1204 3 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Thanks @Deirdre we had our COPRS approved last year October, but then we had to add our baby to the application and return passports and COPRS .So we did all that and our passports are currently at the Canadian High Commission, but now we will have new issue dates. So now I'm wondering if we would be allowed to travel. Edited October 28, 2020 by Clay1204 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoneyClare 8 Posted November 6, 2020 Hi Fellow members, I need some reassurance on some developments and assistance. Yesterday I received a request for passports on an email with no changes on the online system is this normal? and should I assume that we were approved? as it doesn't really say that .... Next steps is VFS for sending passports and their website does not say anything of the sort, has anyone done that part recently, how did you send in the passports? Lastly, we have an appointment for passports on Wednesday for biometrics for the kids, (their passports expire in Jan and need to have 6month expiry) and passports have to be in to VFS in 30 days, should I email them that there is a delay or take a chance that I would get them back in time. I am sure you can all understand my anxiety after so much hard work to get to this point, any assistance will be appreciated! I have really valued this platform Tracy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deirdre 8 Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) Hi @HoneyClare Every area in SA have different passport waiting times We renewed our kids passports 3 weeks ago in PTA - received new ones in 8 x working days! Its a tough call - I would suggest asking turnaround time for kids passports! Edited November 7, 2020 by Deirdre Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
