Hello everyone!

I hope someone, especially @legalfalcon, could clarify this point.

Almost a year has passed since my previous med exam, so I checked the med center web site to estimate the average number of days from booking to the exam. In my country, there's only one official med centre and it provides only 4 seats per day. WHAAAT???
As a result, the closest date of the re-med is available in the end of September. About 45 days from today, which is slightly more than mandatory 30 days allowed by IRCC for providing additional documents.

So, my questions are:
1. Can official med centres provide some paper which IRCC accepts as a confirmation that an applicant cannot visit the exam in the mandatory time frame because of blah-blah-blah? Unfortunately, there's no harsh quarantine restriction in my country which can be estimated as a reasonable proof why I should get extra 30 days; the reason that the centre has a dumb policy of 4 bookings per day won't be considered as reasonable, as I think.
2. Can I take an upfront med exam as I did almost a year ago? Or do I have to do it only after receiving an official request from IRCC?

Hello Everyone,

I had summitted a webform inquiry as my application had passed 8 month limit and the following was the response received.
This doesn't look like a standard webform response. Does this mean that my eligibility has passed? ( I know it is difficult to tell without the GCMS notes, but wanted to check if any others have gotten this kind of similar response)

one time I submitted webform 1 time to change my address, they didn’t reply at all and I had to call.

Another time I submitted webform to tell them I needed more time to submit additional documents, they replied in 3 weeks

1. When you get a med done you will be provided with an upfront sheet, and you will have to send this to IRCC as proof that the meds were done. Also, the upfront sheet will have the Immigration Medical Exam (IME) which will be used by IRCC to locate the results of your medical after they are uploaded by the panel physician. See https://bit.ly/3jN6p0x

2. YEs. However, currently, IRCC has a policy of extending medicals. See #13,190

Does anywhere in your criminality section say 'fingerprints required' if so thats the reason its still not finished. Otherwise, theyve been lazy.

Due dates are a reminder for an officer to look at the file again. Sometimes they do, sometimes not.

my medicals expired on Aug 10. But in my portal it still shows the last medical pass date. Generally after how many days it will be updated in portal?

My medical expired on July 18 and I got ghost update on July 19 and then status changed to medical not required on July 21.
So I guess it shouldn't take much time, probably next week it will show on your portal.
