I experienced this same issue with my father who is 70.  The visa took about 4 months to get, after a medical examination, and now that my parents are here, they are being asked to undergo more medical monitoring.  Did you experience the problem of being asked for medical follow-up tests or monitoring?  They are saying we have to pay for this cost of monitoring too of course.

No...There are no medical examinations for both of them. But, their Visa is limited to 6 months max. with multiple entry.

VFS --> I never applied through them. I can not comment on their service.

No interview in most cases. However, they may call for an interview, very very rarely.

Your friends are wrong.
May be they are right.http://www.immigration.ca/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=538&title=parents-visa-rejected


I think that I would use what CIC posts on their web site, rather than what friends state: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-temp.asp


You are absolutely right. My parents received their visitor visa in less than 2 weeks. We applied directly to the embassy, no VFS.
