Hey guys,

For CEC Inland applicants..

Have you guys completed medical exam BEFORE the invitation to apply? Or do you have to go see the doctor and labs for examinations AFTER you actually receive the invitation?

And is medical only valid for 6 months?

Thanks for sharing :)

We did our medicals first as knew we'd get an ITA the round after we entered the pool. As OP said, they are valid for a year.

Is it true that requesting your GCMS notes can move the process along a bit faster because it forces an agent to look at your file? I've read that in a couple of threads now. But then I've also heard in other forums people saying not to request your GCMS notes because it slows the process down, etc etc.

Which is correct?!

That's not true. COPR is valid until the expiry of your medicals which are valid for one year from the day you actually got those done. So technically it would be valid for a few days to almost a year depending upon how long it took to process your PR. Though CIC asks for medicals to be valid for at least six months when you submit application. If that's the case (i.e. you just took medicals before submitting actual application) and they take six months to process, you are left with COPR valid for another six months.

In some cases, people are asked to do medicals again by CIC, or they intentionally get additional medicals, then their COPR expiry would be tied to those medicals. In system before express entry, people routinely did two medicals often. One when their file was actively processed and the second when their case was about to be approved.

You can submit your profile without PCC or medicals.

But once you got ITA and have to submit application within 2 months, you would need medicals and PCC to submit actual application. However, language score and ECA is something you need at the time of submitting profile since your score cannot be computed without those and hence getting an ITA or not is dependent upon it.

There is nothing concrete about this. All that is there is individual people's opinions so take your pick.

Having said that, if I have applied, I would wanna know about the progress of my file - at least once in a few months and especially when there is no movement that I know of otherwise.

With that scenario - I have seen both sides i.e. gcms notes showing a lot of progress and gcms notes showing none at all.
