THE REMAINDER OF TIME  TO COMPLETE THE PROCESSING OF YOUR APPLICATION IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE CANADIAN EMBASSY / IMMIGRATION DELEGATION RESPONSIBLE FOR PROCESSING YOUR APPLICATION

Once the file is paper screened and if no additional documents/information is required, you may be called for an interview according to the order of priority in which the files are received by the CHC. This time varies from one CHC office to another. Before the interview we will provide you with all the interview material and preparation. In some cases interviews are waived.  

Once you receive an invitation to interview or a waiver, you will receive medical forms to undergo medical examinations. These forms are provided for yourself and your wife and children ( if you are married). Our 3rd payment of fees will be paid at this stage.

Once this process is done, the final visa is issued to you which has a validity of one year from the date of undergoing medical examinations.

Based on this visa you must come to Canada before the mentioned expiry date which is exactly one year from the date the medicals were taken.
