I'm AOR 27 Jan 2020 and got my upfront medical done in June 2021 but I still don't see any updates at all in my file. My medical status has not changed either.
On the other hand, those receiving remed requests are having their files approved within weeks of their medicals. Best to wait for them to request one.
A few months ago all medicals that were done after being assessed were added to the file. However, with many pending applications and a lot of applicants opting for upfront medicals on their own, it created a huge backlog with the IRCC health branch, which is responsible for assessing the medicals.
To resolve this, IRCC has not been sending re-med requests with IME number which is already attached to the respective file.
All this does is that as soon as the meds are done, they are added to the file automatically without an officer having to search for the records using the IME number that was generated when the panel physician uploaded the medical report.
However, for new applications, upfront meds remain the norm.
If your meds have not yet been updated, it simply indicates that no one has worked on your application. As soon as someone picks up your application, you will see the medicals updated.
