Thanks for your reply.
I have raised several web forms and no reply yet and my COPR expired in June which means the medicals are valid till Dec. Now I am wondering If i should book the medical appointment upfront as this may take time or wait for a response from IRCC.Any suggestions?

Good thinking.. medicals are valid for a year.. in case there are long wait times where u want to get ur medicals done from, then i would suggest to get it done in advance and maybe attach confirmation receipt with ready to travel webform.
If there are no wait times then wait for ircc

I guess i will wait for another week or so.If not, Then i will book the appointment upfront.As the time is passing by, remidicals seem inevitable.
Awesome info! Would you mind posting a link to the source (about the 6 months grace period)? Thanks.
It is valid for 1 year and has an auto extension of 6 months from the date of your last IME and not the date of CoPR expiry.
Hello -
How long did it take for you to get the AL from the date you resigned? I find it quite risky to resign from my job without knowing how long the whole process would take - considering i might have to redo my medicals as they expire soon.. it is a bit confusing in terms of time-frame. I understand it is a waiting game but risking not having a monthly income these days is also tough! Good luck to all.
Are you inland or Outland applicant? If I may know what stage your application is at? I have submitted my passports and waiting for PPR and my medical will be expired on feb 17th don’t know if I get an extension or not!
Thanks
It was published on CIC site as a process of CoPR extension. However, they have changed the wordings now.

There is no source for this info, but can be evidently noticed with the trend of applicants receiving re-medicals requests last week.
So, you can say, anybody whose medicals are expired, if you add additional "6 months" to it and if still it doesn't cross today's date, then most likely you'll 100% receive the re-medicals request.
This is what have been noticed, and basis this people have received re-medicals request or will receive it soon.
