Hi there!

Can you please tell me how much you paid for the medical examination ( excluding x-ray). I got the Medical done in Canada and lets stay in touch as we have similar timelines. Thanks

Guitarhero - In Aug they asked for IELTS

Aolsanjgd - I paid CAD 150 for medical + CAD 40 for X-ray

 Posted by WestCoast on 09 Feb 2008
Aolsanjgd - Fedex? - Did you pay for the fedex charge for the medical to be sent to Toronto? My Dr. did not ask for that.

What about you? Good luck with yours....
 Posted by WestCoast on 17 Apr 2008
I applied from within Canada...Waiting - hoping to hear some good news in the next few weeks as they now started Jan IA cases.
 Posted by aolsanjgd on 22 Apr 2008
No news for me as well...I just wrote to Buffalo and got a routine response of" in process"...so any such news for you......what is happening at Buffalo..I wonder....
 Posted by aolsanjgd on 22 Apr 2008
What do you think about the "process" answer..Is it better than "written to other offices"?.......what are your views and i wish you the best for the buffalo answer...
 Posted by aolsanjgd on 22 Apr 2008
I am in Canada on student visa and please do tell me what answer you get from buffalo......
 Posted by WestCoast on 23 Apr 2008
Received the following reply from Buffalo for an email

"Please be advised that your application is in process, however we are unable to provide an exact date when a final decision will be made. "
 Posted by aolsanjgd on 23 Apr 2008
So what is the conclusion and prediction ..............very strange indeed....
 Posted by WestCoast on 23 Apr 2008
aolsanjgd
No idea - what they mean by this.. Did you also receive the same update or different ?
 Posted by aolsanjgd on 21 May 2008
congrats dude....did ECAS also changed.....Thanks
 Posted by WestCoast on 21 May 2008
Thanks buddy...
Yes - eCas shows "Medical results have been received." once you click In Process link. And what I see is that the website got updated only today as yesterday it didnt say that.
 Posted by aolsanjgd on 07 Jun 2008
West can you please tell how many photos you send to Buffalo after your passport request..for visa stamping......Thanks
 Posted by aolsanjgd on 07 Jun 2008
Thanks West....and how many for each family member did you send with your original application......Thanks
 Posted by aolsanjgd on 11 Jun 2008
Thanks Buddy I think my case is stuck.......
 Posted by aolsanjgd on 12 Jun 2008
I checked with them twice and the answer is " In process" and they do not want any document or anything from me. It is strange may be my status as " seperated" is creating problem.....what is your view on this.....Thanks
 Posted by njvr on 13 Jun 2008

 Posted by aolsanjgd on 17 Jun 2008
Congrats on landing. Thanks and now the problem is that I am in "India and I am facing a major problem sending the passport to Canada......Any sugestions how to do it.
 Posted by aolsanjgd on 18 Jun 2008
