No instructions whatsoever, i did it on my own initiative and sent them the scan telling them that the officer does not work on my file (otherwise he’d warned me. No answer yet.
The only thing I heard from ircc is on the automatic message when you call to IRCC saying that I don’t need medical exams but in my account doesn’t show any update about it. It is crazy confusing and frustrating.
You do not need a medical exam until an officer picks your file and makes a note. Your exam expires in 1 year, and if you don’t have a request ti renew, it means nobody is working on your file
I raised a webform asking why it is taking so long and tell them not to reply with the standard covid stuff since they are issuing copr for applications submitted just 2 months ago.
I think more than an error they are doing it on purpose: give priority to the recent files to show that despite covid they are processing the files within 6 months. Processing the ones that have already passed 6 months won't count towards this 6 months target processing time so they are leaving these files for their "spare time".
