Can you share your timeline with date please? Specifically, when did you do the medical? Is it Jan or Feb? When is your medical expiring exact date?

Medicals will expire on Jan 27th, 2018, I called CIC rep and asked them about possible extension of medical results. The lady I spoke to told me that if CIC official feels that an "imminent" decision will be made shortly after the expiry date, they would consider extending the medical for a month or two. In my case I guess no decision is "imminent", that's why they asked to re-do the medicals. What is interesting is the pre-arrival letter I received this morning, one day after they told me to re-do medicals, almost feels like their way of saying "don't lose hope, just re-do medicals and your application will be processed in due course" oh well, what can we do
YES they starter processing 05 January applicants. Last Monday we received a letter from CIC Ottawa if my parent could land before the expiration date of there medical. if we can land before medical expires CIC said we should do the re-medical. The medical will expires on 13 January 2018.
Either your case was easier (less of Background Check was needed) or your officer is more efficient (processed without delays).
