Yes, from 2019. It passed on Sept 30.
I also submitted the old physical examination (2020, expired), my aor 20th Augst,so far no medical pass
I called IRCC yesterday and they told me that my physical examination was overdue... That's weird. Isn't it five years? Customer service told me not to do anything until immigration told me

Anyone in this group successfully uploaded new medicals after submitting an old medical during the application? How quickly was it approved?

Application sometimes get assessed incorrectly. Sometimes people sitting in front desk do not know the right policy. Then there is a possibility that last time your application was not coded properly or you had some issue. Wait for them to confirm what is the issue. Besides, you can also order ATIP for your last test to know how it was coded last time you used it.

Yes, I am not sure whether the old physical examination will take a long time, I will apply for shifting files today (ATIP)

From what I've seen on these forums, it seems that processing is not straightforward for those of us with old medicals.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Mine did not show as passed until almost two months after AOR, then it switched back.

I haven't called IRCC yet but if there are no more updates with my app, I'll inquire closer to the 3-month mark.
