Just received a request for passport photos meeting the new guidelines and a photocopy of my passport information page!

It doesn't specify how many photos I need to provide. I made 2 back on August 15th. Is that sufficient? Or is it 4?

Hurlabrick

Woo Hoo, at last. Congratulations. Spreadsheet updated. It is 2 photos.....

Thanks Hurlabrick! Just wanted to make sure. Would hate to get it wrong at this stage

Just make sure they are to the latest spec, one signed etc - it changed in Jan 2016 AIUI

What's frustrating is that it locks you out after 5 attempts...

The problem with this is that it is easy when you are getting frustrated to not realize you've had more than the 5 attempts or whatever is allowed in the 24 hours (?) timeframe.

Authorized Reps sometimes have this trouble as well working out the exact combination of information that's required to link a person's application or information to their portal.

Hi everyone
I have a confusion regarding my medical .i have done my medical on 29 October 2015 and I haven't received any update since sponsor approval.if I will not get the result till 29 October 2016, do I have to do new medical or not?

CIC will contact you if a new exam is required. They have the option to extend the medical results when submitted.

I have to request the cic to extend my medical or they extend medical by themselves

Former Lancastrian

CIC can extend the medical. You don't request it.

I would inform CIC that your medical is expiring and ask for their advice rather than for an extension.

This site's wiki FAQ is an excellent resource here's the section re. expiring medicals....

My medicals are going to expire. Should I contact CIC?

It doesn't hurt. When your medicals are about 4 weeks away from expiring, drop CIC an email and just flag it up. One of four things will probably happen:

1) You will not get a response. Don't sweat it.
2) CIC will ask you to get a new medical done.
3) CIC will choose to extend your medical validity. They'll usually let you know how long they've extended the results for.
4) If your application is nearing completion, CIC will ask if you can land by x date, and extend the medicals in line with that date.

I dont understand what should I do in this stage.
I would be grateful if seniors of this page will resolve this medical expiration problem and give me a advice

Many thanks

Read toeknee's post. That's what you should do.

Another update please!
Am shocked it was so fast, but received notification yesterday that my sponsorship was approved, and the application has been sent to Ottawa!

Now the real wait!
Thanks

Spreadsheet updated. Congratulations indeed. As it has gone to Ottawa, not sure what you mean by 'real wait' - try London if want to see what a 'real wait' is
