I have done many PR applications and Medical is usually the last step. From this I can infer that my application is at the last stages. I hope I can get the PR card as soon as possible since I need my PR for my RCIC and ATIO licensing.
We don’t need a physical examination? Do I have to go for a medical examination? Are you an immigration agent? Apply now for yourself?

I am not an agent but I am getting licensed that is why I need my PR to take my exam. I work at an immigration office as a manager these days. Yes, now it is my turn to apply for myself. :))
Medical is needed for those outside Canada but as we did it when we made the refugee claim they don't require us to do it again for the sake of time. It is not usual, though, as Medical is valid for 1 year only but to process everything fast they don't ask for it anymore.

I have always been interested in immigration or refugee applications, and I want to learn too! My English is too bad, buddy, which city are you in?

Its not about processing time and validity of medical exams, In-Canada protected person's PR applicant are exempted from medical inadmissibility. Its a law

What I understand is that no matter what the body is, I will accept it! Because our most important thing is the hearing! Has passed, the physical examination is just a process

My brother! Please double check before claiming it on the law! You are wrong brother:
Protected persons (including members of the protected PTR class) and their accompanying family members in Canada and abroad are required to undergo a medical examination [R30(1)(a)].

ALL protected persons are NOT required to take the medical exam IF 1) they have an unexpired medical exam 2) it is valid.
In our case, it is expired and is invalid but due to processing time issues they don't ask for it again. I contacted IRCC about this specifically and they said our medicals are OK if we did not leave Canada and lived in a "designated country" for more than six months after a positive NOD and receiving subsequent RTD.

I understand, thank you brother! According to your experience, I submitted my application online in August. When will I receive the formal processing? It's about seven months now

Im referring to the In-canada Protected refugee Permanent Residence Applicant waiver of medical exam ( that may lead to inadmissibility)

Health grounds
  • 38 (1) A foreign national is inadmissible on health grounds if their health condition
    • (a) is likely to be a danger to public health;
    • (b) is likely to be a danger to public safety; or
    • (c) might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on health or social services.
  • Marginal note:Exception
    (2) Paragraph (1)(c) does not apply in the case of a foreign national who
    • (a) has been determined to be a member of the family class and to be the spouse, common-law partner or child of a sponsor within the meaning of the regulations;
    • (b) has applied for a permanent resident visa as a Convention refugee or a person in similar circumstances;
    • (c) is a protected person; or
    • (d) is, where prescribed by the regulations, the spouse, common-law partner, child or other family member of a foreign national referred to in any of paragraphs (a) to (c).

Understand, there was a misunderstanding before! Waiting to be processed! How much squeeze can we process applicants until August?

Thank you for sharing and I have read R30(1)(a) and i guess we are talking same thing but section g was repealed. most of R30 clarifies about TRP and family member of protected person, but 38 is specific addresses waiver to medical inadmissibility for protected persons. same way there are detailed provisions for protected person and for other TR under IRPA.

I am very happy to meet a professional like you. We did not seek help from a migration agent. I applied for permanent residency online by myself. I think it is not complicated for a protected person to apply for permanent residency. Just prepare according to the checklist on the official website. For me It is also a process of learning English. I also consulted with my previous lawyer if I need him to help me apply. He told me that I can do it by myself, but I still have to save the lawyer's fees. I am very happy to meet you today. I know many lawyers consulted. Any questions need to be charged!

At which percentage are you at? I am at 28% on CIC portal. You submitted almost 2 months earlier than me and still have no updates after stage 3! I'd send a WebForm to see what is stopping them from further processing if I were you.
