Hi All,
My medical Status has been changed from 'Medical Pass' to 'You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.'. What does it mean? Any help Please .I am so confuse and worried after seeing this.

Note :- I took upfront medical exam and it going to expire in July 28th 2017. However when i got my AOR it was valid for 7 months.


AOR - 21 DEC 2016
Medical Pass - 3rd March 2017
Medical status changed to 'You do not need a medical exam' - May 3rd 2017


Thanks
A friend of mine had a similar experience recently.. His medical was about to expire in near future. His medical changed from Passed to Not Needed. he called CIC and was told that if ones medical is expiring, CIC will either re-evaluate the old one or will ask you for a new one. It seems like you have a similar case. By the time you would have received your PPR, you won't have enough time on your PR visa to land in Canada before your medical expiry date. Therefore, the officers have decided to re-evaluate your medical exam. It may take the same amount of time as the first time your medical changed to Pass from AOR, before it changes to Pass for a second time.

Congrats @mits0829

did you get the ppr mail in the same format that we are talking abt(withoout pdf and bar codes) and also the sender email id is something like name.name@international.gc.ca
Hi, yes in the same format. I even submitted my passport based on that email.

I am not sure if that could be a fraud or a issue, since as per these discussions all recent PPRs are similar.

Can some seniors answer my questions,

Currently I am in Canada and my family is in India, I have below doubts can some one please let me know

1)As per my PPR my Primary office is New Delhi.
As my Dependents are in India, can they send their passports alone to New Delhi Via VFS for stamping?

2)Can I send my passports for stamping here at Ottawa?

3)Do I need to mail anyone asking change of any processing center? Is it necessary, because already my primary office is Delhi, rite.

4)If yes for 3rd point, to which mail ID I need to send asking for change.

Yes you are right. Earlier i considered that a fraud mail. But after reading all the forums, i got to know the format has been changed for ppr email. Have already submitted my passport yesterday.

I haven't seen any updates from PNP inlanders and I too am interested to find out if any December PNP inlanders received the "golden email". Today I received approval for an extension to my WP that was set to expire this month. My AOR was December 30. The new WP expires in May 2018. While I am thankful for this glimmer of hope, I wonder whether this means that I have to wait another five months before I receive the PPR email ::)

Dec 3rd PNP-Inlander here.

Nothing has moved since February for me.
My BGC is NA
Medical has passed
According to my GCMS notes that I received last week, Security is Not Started.
But in the notes I have a Ready To Finalize and Recommended Pass. So it's just a few more weeks until I hit the 6 month mark, hopin that any day now I'll get that email.

AOR 30 Dec
BG check In progress 25 Apr
BG IP1: Criminality check. At this stage, an agent checks the police certificates on your file. If all is good, then an immigration officer will update your Criminality check to Pass. Criminality is performed around the same time as your medical.

BG IP2: Security check. At this stage, they will check with CSIS and other security agencies to see if you had any criminal activities in your records or if you pose a security threat to Canada

When BG IP2 is passed, an officer will conduct a final review and will give you PPR.
