This is probably not going to get the answer I am looking for, but it's worth a try.

I have been waiting since July 1st for a response on my study permit renewal. Today I finally get some sort of update on my CIC Application account. It says I need to do a medical exam. I have no idea why. I'm exempt from this because I'm American and I do not fall under any of the rules relating to needing a medical exam. The reason in the document is unclear:
"These medical instructions are being issued since your application has been processed to the stage
where medical examination results are now required. Please read these instructions carefully. "

I don't know what's going on with CIC, but not being able to talk to the local office that has my application is getting rather annoying after it's been so long waiting to hear back, and I've done EVERYTHING right.

Does anyone know why an American would need to have a medical exam? (Note: I have not left the country to travel to any countries under the list. I am not looking for a medical job, I am not a medical student.)
