Still Require a Criminal & Medical Check?-Sponsor

Good afternoon,

I am trying to sponsor my boyfriend. I was wondering for the sponsorship application does he still need a criminal check and medical check if they already had one when he applied for student visa and was approved.

I have checked the cic website with no avail and tried calling cic, but waited for 45mins still no agent would pick up the phone.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

the Guide 3900 - Sponsorship of a spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner or dependent child living outside Canada states:

So he will have to have another medical examination.

I also found How to get a police certificate (police check) which states:

So he’ll need that one as well.

Good luck!
