HI
@legalfalcon, is there any possibility of asking for a re-medical once all stages are passed where the applicant and dependent both are inland?
For Permanent Resident applicants, if your medicals are expiring or are about to expire, IRCC will send them for reassessment to the Health Branch (HB), where the Regional Medical officer (RMO) will make a determination on whether to extend them or ask for a re-med.
Currently the extensions are provided in accordance with the policy to relieve pressure associated with COVID-19. An extension is granted for 6 months for applicants from designated countries and 1 year from non-designated countries. Also, whether you are exempt from travel or not, and will be able to land soon, is also a factor.
The designated country list is the same that was used for medicals for TRV applicants. See
https://www.canada.ca/.../requi.../country-requirements.html
Further for an extension, the immigration medical exam should have been assessed as M1 or M3.
M1: No public health risk or danger, no public safety danger and no excessive demand
M3: A health condition(s) is present but is not expected to place an excessive demand on health or social services.
Also, a note will be placed in your GCMS based on the reassessment.
An applicant whose medicals are expiring or have expired, but have not yet received a reassessment determination from IRCC, can also get an immigration medical examination (IME) from a panel physician and send the upfront sheet to IRCC via webform. In such cases, the medicals will be valid for 1 year.
Most inland applicants should get an extensions, but will depend on a case by case basis.
