@legalfalcon hi,

My first cousin is a Canadian PR & living in Canada right now. So, do you think I might get exempted/apply for AL to visit my cousin as he is very close to me? thanks

Thanks for the reply. I am in the same boat, as per my GCMS notes my medical which expired in October 2020 was extended till the end of Feb 2021. However now I am waiting for a re medical request?
Are you aware if there are cases when the medical has been extended twice?
 
I never received a re-med request however my medicals are extended until April 21. Aor dec 2019. Can we do a re-med if IRCC doesn't request for it?
dont do it, until its requested by the IRCC

While going through the GCMS notes, I see that my medicals expire TOMORROW (28/02/2021). Not sure how the system works, but does that mean that I will get a remeds request from the system (automatically) after that date?
 
Good Day. Please any idea on scenario below.
My medical; for me and my family expired in December 2020. On Jan 5 2021, we got remedical request for me and my spouse excluding my 1year old daughter, but we went ahead to do for all 3 of us. So on February 3 2021, we got notified on our profile that medical was passed. Just this week, on Monday, our profile message changed again that we do not need medical exam. Please any idea of what could be the reason for this changes? The initial medical for my daughter was meant to expire on 17th of February, but we did another medical together, what could be the cause of this change of our medical status.
