Very valid points bro. One important thing to note also about sending unnecessary emails to CIC when an application has not exceeded the stipulated processing time is that it is noted in the applicant's GCMS file which is detriment during a case review. I believe nobody would want a file note with any instance of desperation recorded especially when they have provided all that is to be expected and processing time has not been exceeded. Folks with applications within the stipulated processing time need to be patient and be positive about the outcome.

The routine and processing of an application is more to what we all assume and predict. The could be delay for various reasons but one thing is always certain, as long as you applied, they will revert back to you.

Ultimately, no one should even try to send any mail before the 9weeks is complete. If you ask me, i would even say you give it one more week, say 10weeks, that's if you are patient enough. It kind of shows you are not desperate and your life is not on "pause mode" even though we know it might be. But asking that something is updated even when it's not 9weeks is pretty ridiculous. They may not even need it, I think Frank or someone got approved without a medical request on this platform. So you never know...

I understand it's quite tiring, but we really do not have a choice.

All the best guys!

@jnyuwa02 pls am curious i am resident in the Uk but came to Nigeria 2days ago....do l need to do medicals here in Nigeria as i saw on CIC website if u not resident in Nigeria for 6months and above u are excluded from doing medicals. Pls kindly revert. Thanks.

jnyuwa02:


Good poignant question. Ordinarily, no you don’t have to take medicals because you haven’t lived or travelled in Nigeria for more than six months. But the second part of the adjoining clause for those who need medical says if you are going to Canada for more than 6 months, you have to take medicals. So my guess is you are a student who is planning to go to Canada for more than six months? If so, even though you have lived in Great Britain where medicals is not required and currently live in Nigeria where Medical is required of you only if you have lived here for more than six months, the brute fact of wanting to study in Canada for more than six months, compels the conclusion that you will need to take medicals. That is the verdict!

HiSignature:
I would like to weigh in here;
your premises are justified but so far she is a resident in UK and coming in for study (yes, for more than 6 months), she does not need a medical examination.
I have seen many friends in this situation as well; even one of them who ticked,yes (that she requires medical examination), in her medical request form was not called for an examination and her application was approved.
I do not think been in Nigeria at the moment will change the rule for her because as far as the visa office where she applied is concerned,she is 'still' in the UK.

The rules changes for express entry applicants where irrespective of where you reside, medical examination is a must even if the applicant is a temporary resident in Canada.

Good day all, I'm new here and I would like to know my chance of getting admission into MUN or U of Manitoba with a CGPA of 3.65/5.0 but the average GPA of my last two years of undergraduate study is 4.3/5.0. Thank you

I do not think it is necessary for you to submit your SOA if your sponsor has sufficient fund and you are submitting his SOA. But, you can submit your SOA/pay slip to reveal your monthly pay if you have work experience or still working just to boost your claim.

I hope this helps.

jnyuwa02:


The requirements interpreted correctly, anybody from Great Britain coming into Canada for more than six months, needs a medical examination. Anybody coming in for less than six months from GB, does not need medicals. You are right in the eyes of the requirement, she is still in the UK. That said, CIC reserves discretion to do and undo, including not requiring medicals from people who normally should give medicals. We have seen at least one person here on NL approved for visa without medicals when the requirement stipulates medicals be submitted by those coming from Nigeria and have been resident here for more than six months preceding the year they sought entry to come Canada. I am pretty sure she needs medicals if she is going for more than six months. But whether CIC would exercise discretion not to require it from her, is not within my purview of certainty.

Hi Gurus in the House, please am a bit confused

My re-application is just 10 days today and my medical has been updated as passed. When i re-applied i didn't submit upfront medical because I could not wait for the report which was delayed as a result of system issues at children practice. I later went to the hospital and collected the medical report. 4 days ago, i scanned the report and sent a mail to lagos.immigration@international.gc.ca asking them to include the medical report to my application and I was surprised to see the medical update as passed today.

Is this normal?

Olayemudia:


Is the report different from the one used in your previous application?

That is the verdict! If you plan to come to Canada for less than six months on the other hand, in your particular circumstance, you DO NOT need medicals.

MrsDaniels:
Wow......i did submitted my applcatn and my hubbys yesterday morning already and done biometrics too we only attached our police certificate issued in the UK. Note:- Am in Nigeria for only 2-3months so you think i still need medicals?

Ma’am that is what the requirement says. But wait on CIC, they may not call you for medicals. One person relates his experience here that he has never seen CIC actually call people from GB for medicals even though that is the requirement. There is some ring of truth to it. I say just wait. They will let you know.

HiSignature:
I'll look out for the trend of her application.
I think from her information, she applied in Nigeria even though she has hold UK resident permit.
I would actually like to see if her application will be treated using the UK timeline (1 week) or Nigeria's processing time.

jnyuwa02:


This is very normal. This what I asked people to do and people are going hey wire. Enjoy jor! You just cut yourself some valuable waiting time.

chisiudeh:
Attorney jnyuwa02 i greet o.
I applied on the 6th of June and did biometrics two weeks later and as at then the PT was 8 weeks. Am i right to contact them after the 8 weeks elapses?

Thanks

At times you people asked unnecessary questions. ..why can't you pick calculator and multiply by yourself....

God have mercy......Frank come and answer questions am sure primary 4 student can answer.....

Frankrobbn1:


Attorney jnyuwa02 do you sleep at all? . You're always active to respond to queries. No mind me, nice job okay!

jnyuwa02:


Mallam Frank, I sleep ooh! Just one of those days I happen to be awake with free time on my hands to answer questions before sleep comes calling to yonderland.

Frankrobbn1:


Oh! That's nice! Anyways, you're a saving grace here, at least the task is reducing with your assistance. Continue with the good works okay.

Stay safe Attorney General of Plateau Mountain.

jnyuwa02:


Haha, thanks Legend, God bless you and all your endeavors!

jnyuwa02:


It won’t happen. She is applying in Nigeria and automatically comes under the Nigerian jurisdictional rule as per average processing time. If she is applying in the UK, even as a resident chances are likely than not that she will not even be eligible for the one week. Nigerians applying abroad even as residents have been complaining lately of not been accorded the same processing time as native citizens of those countries they are applying in.

Naijaforeigner:


This is Very very correct. This man here knows what he is saying.

@HiSignature, I applied in Uk and my aplication would be 3 weeks on Tuesday (31/07/18). I still checked about 5 minutes ago, they are still doing background checks (P.S: I even submitted disclosure with my application).

The processing time of 1week as stated on their site does not apply to Nigerians.

Geenosko:


You can pm me. I have some spare time this Saturday
