Congratulations. I have one question, did you pay anything to IRCC while using your nomination certificate to apply for federal (canada) PR?
Yes of course you pay a fee. Check the following link for PNP non-express application:

No you don't need to pay for biometric at the time of PR application fee. If you already have given biometrics in past and if they are still valid, then the chances are IRCC won't ask for biometric.. but in case if they require, they will let you know.
What announcement? What are you talking about? How could you possibly be exempt from medical for PR?
yeah, i'm not seeing any announcements regarding inland medical examinations excemptions today. I know there were excemptions already during COVID for very specific conditions.
Found it here:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2022/09/a-stronger-immigration-system-that-better-serves-newcomers.html
"the Minister will exempt permanent and temporary residence applicants who are already in Canada and meet certain criteria from the immigration medical examination requirement. Simplifying this process in the coming weeks will impact approximately 180,000 clients by helping them save time and money on the medical examination process and reducing wait times on their applications."

He's right. Found it here:

I was stressing a bit about needing to travel 3 hours for an exam, so I'm happy with these news. But I'll wait for what the criteria is.
yeah, i had a round trip of 6 hours for the medical exam- $800 for the exams combined for myself and my wife. we were lucky that my work reimbursed me for them. It was easily the most stressful part of the process so far.
It's an easy win to cut potentially 30 days out of waiting/processing times.
I imagine the criteria will likely be this:
- have submitted a new application for permanent residence or for a permanent resident visa or have a pending application for permanent residence and have not yet completed a new immigration medical exam
- have completed an immigration medical exam within the last 5 years and were found to pose no risk to public health or safety, or complied with a requirement to report to public health authorities for monitoring, and
- have not left Canada for more than 6 months in the last year to live in a country that has a higher incidence of a serious communicable disease than Canada, as outlined in the list of countries requiring an immigration medical exam
Why did your work reimburse you?? You must be some executive they headhunted so they did it to keep you happy?
Agree with above - thank god I only holdiayed in Canada/USA for the last 6 years.
my work reimbursed me because they were the ones who put me through the PNP process
(long story- when i was hired their immigration lawyers realized to get me a work permit was going to be shorter going through the PNP process..3 months vs 6 months wait last year). I'd been in Canada for just over 3.5 years at another company.That's awesome. Not that I'm not thankful, but I wish I was a bigshot executive or important enough that some company paid all the expenses of an immigration lawyer and left me with nothing to do/worry about other than sign papers. Oh well, maybe one day.my work reimbursed me because they were the ones who put me through the PNP process
Hello! I have queries regarding the PNP with OINP. I got OINP Masters Graduate Stream Invite which I believe is non-Express Entry PR process. I might be eligible for CEC EE starting May 2023.
I need to understand if going for PNP non- EE will be a good idea right now? I have heard it has long processing timelines.
Also, can I later create an Express Entry profile along with the Non-EE PNP file in progress?
Any response will be really appreciated. Thanks!
