Hi everyone,
I’m writing this hoping anyone could give me feedback or share any experience if you’ve been through this. I can’t find any stories of anything like this in this fórum.
I’m an FSW-O applicant. I submitted my application on Feb 4th. Other than a PCC I had to submit later because I didn’t receive before the 90-day post-ITA deadline, I submitted all necessary documents, including my medical exam. A few days later, I got the medical exam passed update.
On 8/3 I apparently moved to IP2 (background check is being processed status); all along, my medical exam was reported as passed. However, this morning I got an email and an update on my profile. I got a letter asking me for a medical exam, and saying I had 30 days to submit a medical exam or else I would risk refusal. My medicals status changed to “we have a requested a medical exam” today.
I know sometimes they may ask for new medicals when it’s been almost a year and your old medicals are about to expire, but in this case, I took the exams in December 2017, so they still hold about five months of validty. Why would they be asking for them now?
I called CIC today, and they said it might have been a mistake – the system generated this automatically. But he recommended I submit an enquiry just to make sure and get the officer’s response. Has anyone experienced this? A request for medicals soon after IP2?
I’m waiting for a response from CIC but to be honest it’s making me a little nervous.
