Hi All,

I have done my medical in January 2005 and submitted that to CIC. I check on e-Client application status, it says my Medical results have been received. From that point how long do I have to wait to get my PR?

Thanks...

It depends from many factors, including visa post processing your application. In some visa posts medicals are requested after preliminary selection decision is made but before background and security check are completed and thus it may be anywhere from few months to well over a year to conclude case there. Some visa post ask for medicals only after all other checks are already positively completed and in such cases it takes few weeks to few months to complete process.

Mr. Miller,

How about CHC Hong Kong? They send medical after all the checks or before?
CHC HK received my medical on March 1, 2005 and PCC on April first week.

Thanks

The simplest way to determine if medicals were requested before or after all other checks are completed is - if medicals were received with or shortly after successful interview or interview waiver it indicates that other checks are still pending. If medicals are requested well after (several months) interview or waiver then most likely other checks are completed or are expected to be completed soon.

Hi Andrew

Just wondering if you know about CIC Berlin - we just got our meds request 11 months after submitting application for skilled visas (9 months after AOR) with no mention of an interview/interview waiver (seems Berlin don't require interviews as often as other posts????)......from your experience do you think we could be close to PR? The Berlin yogi timeline seems to suggest that.

Thanks in advance, your insight is always appreciated.

Also is there any advantage in sending CIC the ROLF before being requested to do so?????

It may be close to the end. Berlin usually sends medical request when they assume that other checks will be completed soon. But sometimes security check is not completed as soon as expected and applicants need to wait much longer. Each case is unique.

Paying RPRF well before being asked to do so has advantage - it saves you at least couple months of process.

It depends what CIC you submitted to I suppose....If you are submitting to CHC London, then not too long at all....Did the letter that was sent along with medical requests from the CIC that you are applying through, stipulate getting up to date police clearances, or any other information that may need updated?

Hi Andrew,

I submitted to CIC Buffallo. I got the interview waived. Some says it only takes 3-6 months to get my PR is it true?

Thanks..

Andrew,

Can I trouble you to ask what the exact specific process is for London ? Meds called at what stage for background and sec checks ?

Thanks in anticipation, we have paid RPRF as soon as meds request came through and also sent updated police checks, just in case.

Thanks Andrew.


What is the difference between the RPRF (Right of permanent residence fee) and the ROLF? not sure what the latter is, anyone know?

Hi

Same thing. ROLF (Right of Landing Fee) was in previous Act & Regs.
