Can you use the same medical exam if you withdraw and re-submit a PR application?

I made a very stupid mistake, by using the wrong noc code. I sent an IRCC WebForm explaining, apologising and asking if they will update my submitted application with the new noc code. I think I'll just withdraw and start over.

My question is: Can I use the same medical exam I sent in my original PR application, if I withdraw and reapply?
My medical exam was taken in December, and according to my cic profile, it passed.
I hope I can just reuse it, to avoid getting stabbed and paying again.

Thanks man. Whilst I have you, can I reuse WES? Do I have to do anything here? I ask because I think WES contacted IRCC when they gave me my ECA, will they have to contact IRCC again? Sorry, not really sure how this works behind the scenes.

Yes you can. A WES ECA is valid for five years from the date of issue. You can continue using it for future Express Entry profiles. IRCC was given a copy initially (possibly electronically) and they can verify it again if they want. You can attach your ECA to your application

Ah that's how it works. Makes sense. This is a HUGE relief, thanks man. So I'll just re-upload the WES document and think nothing else of it. Thanks!
