Hello,

I have a quick question, I had my medical done on May 29th and the CIC website says it's valid for a year. If our wait for the visa time surpasses March 29th 2013, do we have to start the process over again or do I just get another medical? I know if the visa is issued BEFORE March 29th 2013, I must land in Canada before that date but what if the visa takes longer to be issued? What happens then?

Thanks so much!

I wantto check ecas, but people have been saying that the receipt number doesnt work. What else are we supposed to use?

You don't have to start process again, they will ask you to redo the meds

YAY!! OMG, thank you so much! We live in Korea (He's Canadian, I'm Irish) and his contract is up in March and mine in May and we were trying to think of a plan in case the medical runs out and we have to start over. I don't think I could handle all that paperwork again! Thank you so so much!

There is nothing to use unless you have an a UCI from a different application or get an AOR.

Girzim, There's a new policy that allows the validity of the medical exam to be extended in most cases. Previously you might have had to redo the medicals. See the following thread for details.

This is great news for you, and far more sensible. If your only over by a couple of months, its seems silly to have to redo it.

I just received my letter of approval from CPP-O . . The letter was dated June 22,2012 .

According to my ecas, they received my application last April 2,2012. . I think CPP-O are sending mails for April Applicants while CPC-M are working on May Apps. .

yeah!!! congratulations I think you are the first "april applicant" to be approved on the forum!! great to hear!

Yep FS. And it came from Ottawa, which is a great sign for a speedy approval process. The question is if they did send all of April Applicants to Ottawa. I will be waiting next week this time 93 days. Lets hope for more news.
