I literally just got mine (June 5 applicant). I checked gckey this morning and my profile had been updated to say "we are reviewing your medical results" even though I hadn't done it yet...a couple of hours later I got the email and the status now says "We have requested a medical exam. Check your messages below for details."
Just got back from my medical exam, thought I'd make a comment here just for others so they know what to expect.
Booked a 10am with the only panel physician in my city. Nice guy, and on time. Had to give a urine sample first. The doctor took my photo and my passport, then spent 10 minutes uploading them to eMedical. (Some places you have to bring photos if they don't use emedical - ask!)
Then into the exam room where he asked me questions, such as prior illness, meds, addictions, etc. Then he checked my ears/mouth/eyes, which took like 2 minutes. Then he had me lie down and he pressed on my stomach in a few places, asking if I felt pain. I didn't, and we were done. Didn't even have to undress, though YMMV in that regard.
His clinic didn't do bloodwork or x-rays, so he gave me requisitions to get them done. I paid him for the appointment ($200) and went to get bloodwork. He is doing a serum creatinine test, which worried me at first, but I overheard the lab techs mention "why does this guy always get us to do this one?" while pointing to the creatinine checkbox. Her colleague said she didn't know, but "he's been doing it a lot lately". So hopefully he's just being cautious (probably cuz I'm a fat bastard
) They took 3 vials (one for each of the tests presumably). Ezpz.
Then to the x-ray place, which cost me another $100. Had to get it re-done because I was too tall for where the machine was set. Double dose of ionizing radiation for me, yay!
So that's the medical process, at least in my experience. Now to let my hypochondria run rampant over the weekend while results come in (he said he'd call if there was anything abnormal).

Congratulations to everyone that has received a Medical Request whippeeQuick question - Did anyone get a request to submit another Schedule A? I am not sure if mine was misplaced but I got a request today to submit it again.
Quick question - Did anyone get a request to submit another Schedule A? I am not sure if mine was misplaced but I got a request today to submit it again.No worries. I too get anxious regarding anything medical - I always think they're going to find something sinister. But it was fineThanks for sharing Jetrel. Now I feel less anxious about it

What's your timeline Ruobear?Anyone else still been unable to link OWP / haven't had their OWP approved? Starting to get really worried now
Hi Janice, My timeline is as follows:
App Originally Sent: May 17th (unsure of Recieved)
App Sent back to me: June 10th (Due to missing signature / NOA)
App sent to CIC: June 19th
App Recieved: June 20th
AOR: August 1st
PR Link to my Account: August 20th (Due to using wrong UCI during the previous days, probarly could have linked earlier.)
Otherwise I haven't recieved anything since nor been able to link my Work permit either. I have called up but they said just to wait and they would send a message to push through my app but it still hasn't done much. Been trying to link everyday but...nothing
Oh wow. That's fustrating. I wasn't able to link mine until September closer to approval while some applicants could link it after a couple of days after AOR in other months. It's taking a while for June applicants. Hang in there. I pray you get it soon.Hi Janice, My timeline is as follows:

We are waiting too.. it's very frustrating because PA's IEC expires in 6 days and he desperately wants to switch jobs but according to this link, he can only continue working under implied status with the same employer: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1476&top=25&fbclid=IwAR1jlgUnm2W_HejkudFfUJN2l_oQ9Z5UdOm1ks96ZxqbV9QhiR9-w7CmQp0
