Hi @legalfalcon,
My PR application has been approved on 02 April 2019 and I received my passport back with single-entry immigrant visa which is valid by 04 Mar 2020. I received my medical certificate on 26 April 2018 and technically it should be valid by 26 April 2019 (according to CIC website and common practice).
The expiry date of my immigrant visa is almost 11 months longer than the validity of my medical certificate which I believe is uncommon.
In this case, I would like to understand:
- Is it 100% certain that the medical exam is valid for 1 year or are there any exceptions to this?
- If I enter Canada after 26 April 2019 and within the validity of my visa, should I renew the medical exam?
The "Medical Details" section on my COPR document, the validity is mentioned as 04 Mar 2020 but I am still confused because on this web page the validity period of the medical certificate is defined as 12 months.
Thank you in advance for your comments.
