Let your mind be at rest, check back again tomorrow and if it's still showing that, you may have to email them all the details and receipts you have. CIC has been very inconsistent lately. You shall testify soon.

updated means they acknowledge they've now gotten your medicals and after they've reviewed it your status will be updated accordingly to reflect what the contents of your medical report says.

Thanks Teesboy. Within few minutes, it has gone back from 'updated' to 'your action is required'. I'm more confused. I don't know what's going on.

[quote author= post=36332799]I kinda had the same issue you have. I did upfront medicals in June but got the mail requesting for medicals d same date you also got your own mail.

I called Consultant Practice and they told me to send a mail to the embassy, which I did. When i saw the status hadn't changed i called Consultant Practice to verify the exact date they sent my medical result to the embassy. They told me. So I resent another mail to the embassy stating the day I did the medicals and the exact date the hospital sent the result to the embassy. I also attached the necessary documents (Receipts and all).
The status changed to 'Passed' last Saturday.

So I advise you resend stating exact dates. It's possible they by passed the mail or something. Hope this helps[/quote]Accra immigration just replied my mail now saying; Hello, thanks for the update. Our record has been amended.
I checked my CIC account and saw that 'your action is required' has changed to 'updated' but status hasn't changed to 'medical passed'.
Pls, has anyone seen this kind of mail?

Hi, I also went the online route, submitted 28th got biometric request the next day and had it done by 30th.
Now, my question is this, can u Pls explain the upfront medical part. Did u go ahead with the medicals without getting a request to do so? I didn't know that was possible. Hope I'm not dulling here waiting for a mail requesting for medicals.

Upfront medical means you go for medical before submitting your application. You will be given a slip at d clinic to upload when submitting.
Since, you have already applied, you can't go for upfront anymore. Just wait till your app is processed and CIC sends you a mail for your medical to be done and sent to them.
No need to worry. You have done the right thing.

Biometrics on June 15
Medical mail July 22
Confirmation of medical mail(with upfront slip and CIC medical form attached)
sent by me to CIC as directed by the clinic on July 22 night.

***Till now, no medical update from CIC.
Pls, who else has been/is in this situation?
I'm more anxious now than I was for 5weeks waiting for my app to get to this stage.
Thanks

A quick question to those of you that submitted online. Did you bother tracking your application on VFS website? and did it track? If so, How many days/weeks did it take before it tracked? Did you receive any SMS from VFS that your application has been forwarded? I need an urgently answer oo.. Thanks!

For me, the answer to ur questions is No.

grabeconnie:
Please how much for visa application processing fee, Police report, Biometrics?

Do you pay for medical too?

Visa application - CAD $150
Biometrics - CAD $85 (individual), $170 (applying as a family)
Police report - it varies from about N3000 to N7000, I think.
Pls, learn to use Google as well. Thats how I was able to get this info.

They probably meant beverages esp full cream milk, cabin(if u r a fan of cabin), Gnut, etc.. Cornflakes isn't necesary, u'll buy d best of flakes in Canada.. Pls be mindful of ur declarations, else u'll have them all thrashed if u r unlucky.. Esp d milk.

Pls, what do you mean by 'be mindful of your declarations'? Are there foodstuff that should be hidden and not declared? Pls, let's know those ones so I can leave them behind. I don't think I can hide anything since all my foodstuff will be inside one luggage.

Lol, na wa o. Naija for show! Never traveled with palm oil anyway......was only curious as to why the other person said liquids are not allowed! I've had to trash my body cream and shaving foam at BWI airport, but I was given an option to check it in for 25usd. Trashed it cos they were almost finished and dont worth 25usd.....

When I said liquid, I actually meant things like groundnut oil, palm oil, Palm wine, etc. I have seen them actually trash such things at the airport here in Nigeria.
Every other thing including cosmetics should be in your checked-in luggage.
Since you are basically entitled to 2luggage, 1carry.on, and 1 handbag, I think you should do this:
- 1st luggage = all clothes, shoes, cosmetics, and others
- 2nd luggage = all foodstuff
- Carry-on = the remaining clothes plus electronic gadgets like laptops
- Handbag = squeeze in few clothes.
I think this should do the trick.

For those who have got their trv and those expectant, why isn't no one asking questions about the kind of food to go along with? Isn't that part of 'Travelling to Canada'? Anyway, when it's time, I will ask. Guys in Canny,pls be ready to answer my questions. Who they go read, they chop. I can't fit come and go and die on top book.

University of Victoria, British Columbia, Masters in Business Administration.

Funny thing is I applied to Centenniel College for PGD in International Business Management and they turned me down because of my CGPA. I applied to Carleton for PGD in Sustainable Development, they turned me down too. I applied to University of Victoria for MBA, they gave me admission plus even $6,000 scholarship. When I read the letter, a teardrop or two rolled down my cheeks. It is the doing of Jehovah and it is marvelous in my sight!
