Good day everyone,
My husband and I applied for FSW, I had a medical request from IRCC, the request was just for me, my husband’s own was not requested. I did my medicals and it was uploaded, I always sent a webform. I have a work permit application running and my medicals was passed in my work permit application, but IRCC just sent me another message now to submit my medical, I don’t know what to do about this, since it’s already showing on my work permit application.

Good day,
Please if you have travel to Canada recently, can you explain what you did during your trip, the documents you showed immigration and all. Thanks

Congratulations!!

To those that got approved using the new portal, what did you use as : Proof of travel exemption that you are travelling for a non-discretionary purpose.

Congratulations ��
Please did you can you send the email address of London and Nairobi office and if possible a format of your travel authorization letter.
I will really appreciate this

PPR alert!!!
All glory and adoration belong to Lord.
I traveled to Canada on 18th December 2020. I started packaging my family application immediately after I have collected all the vital documents like Study permit, SIN, Service Card, and so on.
I applied for an Open work permit visa for my wife and visiting visa for my children.
Timeline:
Submitted application on 11th Feb 2021
Biometrics - 3rd March 2021
Upfront medical - 29th March 2021
Sent series of emails before medical was uploaded to pass on 14th June 2021.

At some point, I had to request for GCSM note to find out the current status of our application.
I contacted the MP, but the only feedback I got was that the status is "Review Required"
I had requested about three notes that are yet to land as we speak.
The last email I sent was on the 9th of August, 2021. I sent the email to both Nairobi and London. I finally got a response to my email on 11th August 2021. I think the London office forwarded my email to Nairobi. So, Nairobi told us to request a written authorization. I ask for this letter that same day. After that, the waiting game continues again until 17th August 2021. I noticed my daughter's eligibility changed from "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirement" to " we will inform you once your eligibility...".
Finally, on 18th August, I got a notification that there is a pending message regarding my family application. I opened the portal, and it was a BVL.
At this point, I knew the decision had been made. However, it was a mixed feeling because nobody knows what comes next. It is either an approval or a refusal, but I keep hoping for the best.
I decided to go and shop for wines � believing that it will be a favorable decision.
Victory at last. The golden email came in this morning. As usual, I logged into my wife's account, and it was a PPR!
I pray that everybody waiting for good news like this will testify very soon in Jesus' name.
It wasn't easy but last last; it ended in praise!!

A big shout out to Frankrobbin. You are such a wonderful person. I sincerely appreciate your help from the start to the end. Thanks for the follow-up and suggestions. May God reward you for your kindness.

Congratulations, please which country (visa office) processed your application

Read. This might help you

Post-March COPR holder
Got Authorization Letter from IRCC. Hence posting what I did to obtain it. You can try it if you have any siblings living in Canada
(Please DO NOT send me personal messages, here I am explaining everything I did to obtain the letter)

I am the primary applicant while my wife is dependent. Her sister lives in Canada. Therefore, she is eligible for travel exemption.

Step 1- Filled up the statutory declaration form from https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/documents/pdf/english/kits/forms/imm0006e-2020-10-09.pdf
Send it to her sister living in Canada and asked her to complete rest of the part and after that she NOTARIZED it by an appropriate authority in Canada

Step 2- Her sister sent the notarized declaration form to us. We had to submit it with our application of travel exemption.

Step 3- Her sister also sent her Canadian Passport, Driving License (These will ensure your siblings status in Canada)

Step 4- Prepared a quarantine plan.
Accommodation_I wrote I will book through Airbnb. |
Grocery_I wrote I will get it from Amazon and I have amazon prime
Food_ I wrote I will get food delivery from UBER eats.
Transport from Airport_ I wrote I will use UBER
I also mentioned I would get a private health insurance.

Step 5- Emailed to IRCC.COVID-TravelExemptions-Exemptionsdevoyage-COVID.IRCC
subject- Request for Written Authorization to reunite with extended family member

Included our Name, DOB, Passport, UCI number, Application number.

Reason for travel- We wrote, currently we are living in Australia with no relatives here. It is also risky to go back to my home country (Bangladesh) since the COVID cases are high. It has been mentally challenging for us to stay here now and we need support from family members.

Attachments-
1. Quarantine plan
2. Proof of relationship between my wife and her sister (birth certificate)
3. Statutory declaration form

Had to wait for 18 business days after that they approved travel exemption only for my wife with 6months validity. They send me a separate email on same email address mentioning my request for authorization letter rejected.

After 3 days I have send them another email with a subject 'Request for Authorization to Unite Immediate Family member'
Even though my wife didnt go to Canada yet, I explained we want to travel together and I need an AL for it. On the email I did not attach anything.

Got a reply after 12 days from IRCC. They asked me to provide,
1. My passport no, DOB, UCI, application number.
2. Proof of relationship with my wife .
3. Proof of immigration status of my wife
4. Proof of Travel Authorization of my wife.

I have sent another email with following attachments,
1. Passport no, UCI, DOB, Application number
2. Marriage certificate
3. Scanned copy of her VISA
4. Her Travel authorization letter.

After 9 days, my request of Travel Authorization Letter was approved. The Authorization letter will be valid for 3months.

Please if anyone has written a travel exemption letter that was successful approved, please let us know the supporting documents you included and the format of the letter, this is the second disapproval response I am getting, I haven’t seen my husband for more than a year now!!

Treat as urgent!

Hello House!!

The Lord is faithful and I judge Him faithful.
Not Student Permit. It’s a Work Permit.
Don’t let me bore you with my very long storyyy.
It will end in Praise for us all.
Pls house how do I send my passport to Abuja.
I couldn’t find the thread. Pls can someone quote me under that post.
Also, I applied with my child, pls should I get different envelopes for the two of us.
One more question, pls what are the requirements, I did my biometrics in Lagos in 2018... does it matter?
Thank you and God bless you.
God that did mine is still doing wonders.

Did you apply through spousal work permit?

Please tell me your “long story”

milkytins:
What is the chance or probability of getting work permit visa approved when they request for medical exam?

I can’t say for now, before covid 19 medical request was a sign of improvement.

Hollushola:
Did you do an upfront medical or you got medical request?

Upfront
