Mrsecman:
Hello Seniors,

I just checked my CIC account again today, and saw that "They're reviewing the results of my medical exam"


Please note, I didn't do any upfront medical. I only uploaded medical request form.

Basically, eligibility, medical and background check now under review.

Is this normal?

Find attached picture to understand me better.

Thanks in anticipation.

Expect a medical call tomorrow.

Please brothers in the house help me and clarify this, my friend got married with a Nigeria guy living in Kenya but the marriage didn't last and crashed after 5months, now she gained admission in Canada and she had change the ex- husband name in her passport to her normal names has it appears in all her documents. The question is now she want to apply for Visa using the online route, "Is she suppose to also scan and upload the newspaper page she published it showing the formal name (the ex husband's name) as part of the process to change name in international passport, along with her new passport?

What do you mean u only uploaded medical request form?

Prudento:


What do you mean u only uploaded medical request form?

That form where you tick whether you need to take a medical exam or not. Its part of the CIC documents to be uploaded if applying online

The IMM 5409 (common law statutory declaration form) after filling, how do I do about it, should I take for notarize?

Thanks

Prudento:

The form you're to upload when you didn't do upfront medical exam.

Mrsecman:


The form you're to upload when you didn't do upfront medical exam.

Okay thanks

Passport collected with TRV issued in Nairobi Kenya. God will do it for you all.

Christo I celebrate with you my brother! Congratulations!!!

Your gpa is good. But you might not have any luck with the top ranked universities in Canada because often times they receive applications from people with higher cgpa. For some like uni of saskatchewan, they tend to consider applications on first come first serve basis cos they receive a lot of applications especially for the MPH degree. I think you should go for usask, apply as early as whenever their portal opens for application, u'll have better chances.

U can also check out other schools, i am just mentioning these two instances because they were the ones i applied to. Uni of Alberta which i got and usask which i did not get cos of late submission.

I hope this helps.

Thanks so much for this. Is it OK to contact you in future for guidance when application opens ?

The update is normal.
It only means that they are at the stage of reviewing your file for medical result, by the time they check and see the form uploaded that you require medical examination, then, they will send the form for medical request to you.
I believe that might happen tomorrow morning or sometimes next week.
I wish you all the best .

You will be called for medicals soon! The good news is on its way. Sometimes medical request comes this way. Relax!

It's a good sign. Be hopeful your medical request is coming shortly!

"Sometimes"... So CIC has no Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)...

Yeah! I have seen an applicant who was called for medicals with such update on her CIC account! There are no set out standards to which CIC follows prior an applicant will be called for medicals. Sometimes it comes this way. Both applicants should be hopeful, it's a good sign.

When did you apply?

olufiz89,

Using the bolded (your sisters husband brother) as a sponsor to your visa application will be unrealistic to the visa officer. If you must make use of the above individual as a sponsor, the financial commitment from him must be very very strong (i.e Paying full tuition and transferring funds in a dorm account) and the reasons for sponsorship must appear very convincing too. But, you stand a chance if you use a direct relative... Father, mother, brother, sister, uncle or aunt as your sponsor rather than the above person.

Kind Regards!

In addition to someone's suggestion above, I also think that if you must use this person you do not neccessarily have to use the description you used above. I would just say "Brother in-law". In that way its not clear if its your sisters husband or his brother. I hope that doesnt mean misrepresentation hopefully someone on the forum would suggest if that is ok

Mrsecman:


Applied on 24 May, 2018. Biometrics 28 May, 2018. Online route.

@Prudento. See Mrsecman's timeline above

Yes I got Gcms note

rolorolo:


Thanks for your response. Please did you order for your GCSM notes before you re-apply or basically worked on your SOP? Next week will mark a one since I ordered my case note and same is yet to be provided. I have really don't have time on my side as school resumes in September.

ayoadefantastic,

Nice tips from you! Even as that, using a Brother-in-law is also unfeasible here! Because, the Visa officer will question his sponsorship, why should a brother-in-law leave all his direct relations, immediate family members, dependants and now spending so much for an inlaw (applicant) to school abroad in a country like Canada where education is so demanding, the high tuition and living expenses. What has this applicant (inlaw) done to deserve such preferential treatments from a brother-in-law. What the brother-in-law stands to gain as a result of this sponsorship should be addressed in the letter of sponsorship.

I have read so many GCMS Notes where a Visa officer is not satisfied with a brother-in-law sponsoring an applicant to Canada.

I advise the applicant should go for a direct relative rather than a brother-in-law.

Please how long does it take before your biometric status gets updated?

Still no show o since last night. No date read for the messages, no message concerning biometrics. cic sha.

Have you checked your spam mailbox folder?

I understand you both but I have seen a brother -in-law (husband to another sister) stand in as sponsor with the applicants brother and it worked. In the person's case, the brother in law had the bulk of the money in investment.
If such a person has been partly involved in his life before and can be proved....he can try it.
Some people have gotten approved with cases not that convincing.
Truth of the matter still remains that there is no blue print for this process.
God's favour above all.
