I submitted my documents for non-EE(OINP) in December 2022. I applied for my PGWP in August 2021. I submitted the same medical for the PR application since there is an exemption if we have completed medical in the past 5 years. This morning, I received a message asking me to submit a medical. Has anybody come across the same scenario? How should I approach this?
IRCC asking for medical again
- Thread starter amalan_m
- Start date
PR Medicals are valid only for one year. If your test result is past 12 months, you are subject to be asked for a new medical.
But there is an exemption which I can see on this website for in-Canada applicants : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/medical-exams/requirements-permanent-residents.html
Did you meet all the conditions?
You may be exempt from completing another IME if you meet all of these conditions:
- You applied, or are applying, for either permanent residence or temporary residence.
- You already live in Canada.
- You completed your previous IME in the last 5 years.
- Your previous IME indicated a low risk or no risk to public health or public safety.
