I am just curious if anyone has been asked to do a second medical exam because the first one expired, but was able to get CIC to extend the results of the first medical? My husband just got SA and I got AIP, but because my medical exam was older than 12 months, they requested that I do another one. It has been 18 months since I did my first medical exam. I am 18 weeks pregnant and not really thrilled about having to wait until after the baby is born in October for this process to finally be complete! I did send an email to ask them to extend the validity of the previous medical exam, but have not heard back from CIC yet as I just send the email this past Monday. I have made an appointment to get the medical done, but will have to wait until after the baby is born to get the x-ray.
Also, just out of curiosity, if spouses are exempt from the excessive medical demand and cannot be denied because of a medical condition, what is the point of asking me to do a second one? I have no medical issues, so I'm not worried about the results of doing a new exam, but having to spend that kind of money again is aggravating, especially since it is because CIC took a long vacation in processing inland applications!
