Documents Needed

  • Passport

    Requested for submission once your Decision Made (DM) status is declared, per the follow-up instructions.

Step-by-Step

A member on a paper-based SINP application asked what happens after passing the medical exam, and how long the next steps typically take.

What the thread clarified:
  1. Passing your medical exam moves your file toward a "Decision Made" (DM) status. This is the key milestone to watch for after your medical is processed.

  2. Once DM is declared, instructions and your Passport Request (PPR) for passport submission are typically sent within about 2-3 days, based on the current processing pattern described by members at the time.

  3. This entire sequence is separate from your Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) and initial application timeline — the medical-to-DM-to-PPR chain is its own distinct phase later in the process.


The practical takeaway: after passing your SINP medical exam, expect your file to move toward Decision Made status, and once that's declared, instructions plus your passport submission request (PPR) typically follow within about 2-3 days.
