It's just the matter of seeing things - the glass is half-full or half-empty, right?
60 days delay gives them time to finalize all ongoing assessments (not necessarily but it works for some applicants), so you might get PPR on your next due date.

so the medical if not updated in one to three weeks, the officer assigned to my file will only look back to it in its due date.
so i dont have to expect a third line till due date....
thanks
at least i have a better picture......

I found some interesting info about the proceeds of VOs, people who are bound to get a request for additional documents, go through this and do yourselves a favour of killing the wait times

applicants who got PER and have been waiting a month or two for MR and need FBI clearance, it is good idea to initiate your application for it

Here are found the Old interesting about the due date = Bring Forward Date
I think many will be interested. All About BF'D: -Only for some of us WHO did not know... BF'D is an acronym for "Bring Forward Date" in the Canadian PR processing system. Usually our file moves from BF'D to BF'D, as it is the day / date next earmarked by our VO to check our file. This Actually Serves to eliminate Unnecessary clogging of the system ... That if there is nothing to add Further in A Particular file, the VO moves to another Case file to work on, rather than holding Onto the Same One. What happens on A BF 'D In simple terms it is the date the file That Will be Looked at [again], Assessed, reviewed by your Case Officer handling at the CHC. S / he will check if anything is lacking, any further queries to be made ​​[to you], any documents to be asked or if any decisive action is to be made ​​/ taken. Basically it Serves as A 'Reminder Tool' to the Case Officer & processing That your file is not 'Forgotten'. Now, if the VO observes That is something Lacking [That Which WAS Asked for], S / he Probably Will Attempt to contact you on this BF'D day and mark another BF'D on your file. This depends on the subject of check [the all time phrase 'Case-to-Case' basis]. Sometimes, if the check report warrants, the VO might not give you another opportunity and take a decisive action. Note: The Situation is no Fluid & One really CAN Provide A sanguine Comment on it. Will the file be 'only' Looked at A BF'D No. If something like reports, results, documents etc. [Eg. background / security checks] comes to the CHC in between, your file gets opened and assessed. However, if nothing is received in between, you get another BF'D. Note once again: If They are waiting for something and it comes as Expected then the file to be processed Continues Further, if not then the next file Will be reviewed on the BFD 'only'. An Example Every time we Get A letter / Email from the CHC -it carries a 'time limit' to submit something, right? Say 45 days, 60 days or 90 days ... the ending day of that time limit is our next BF'D. As an example, if the CHC sent you a medical request [alongwith the forms] on 02 Jan 2010; and it carries a 60 day's deadline -it means your file has been marked with the next BF'D of 01 Mar 2010. HOWEVER, if your results are Medical Received before the BF'D [01 Mar 2010], say on 05 Feb 2010 -your file will be further processed on that day itself [05 Feb 2010]. If the med results did not come by earlier, then it will be opened on 01 Mar 2010 -The BF'D day. How many we BF'Ds Get Some BF'Ds are 'Routine', as exampled above. Then there are some which is either case generated or because of us. By 'case generated' I mean, [eg.] If one's Security Report is pending from an external agency -the VO gives a BF'D & waits. If the report comes in time, action is taken. If it does not, one gets another BF'D. And the Situation Continues ... By 'Because of us' * I mean if the VO Asked HAD A document for us [or A Couple of Them]. It is wise that we proceed to submit the document / s asap. Reason? The case moves faster [read: it'll open before the BF'D]. If we do not, S / he try to May contact us on the day BF'D & BF'D another log on Our file [result: Delay / S]. Delays Due to BF'Ds As Stated above, except the ' routine 'ones, other BF'Ds do delay our process. At the least [best scenario] each BF'D would be a month apart. Some might be more. The ideal action on our part is to submit anything that has been asked for asap. That would negate a BF'D. However, there can be times that something we just might not be able to send asap. In Case That we 'must' send it by the 'Deadline' -that'd Avoid another BF'D, Will not it? * Many Consultants [so Called agents] erroneously Advise us OTHERWISE. Stating, "Oh you got the meds, do not worry you have time till 60 days to do it". That's a 'bull'. I'd advise -do it asap, if the speed of your case process matters to you.

Very Informative +1 to you

Following medical tests are conducted if everything is normal

Physical Examination: For all applicants
Urinalysis: For 5 year and older applicants
Chest X-Ray: For 11 year and older applicants
Blood pressure and Blood (HIV & Syphilis): For 15 year and older applicants

For Detailed summary chart of applicable tests visit http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/dmp-handbook/index.asp#chap4.7

1. The medical is to check illness/disease which can either
(a) Danger to public health i.e. contagious diseases
(b) Danger to public Safety
(c) Might reasonably be expected to cause an excessive deman on health or social services such as cancer, dialyses, kidney transplant etc etc

2. Therefore, no need to be bothered much abt the medical, If God forbid someone has such symptoms nothing much can be done. If an applicant's initial results are not satisfactory, further tests are conducted to rule out issues mentioned in point 1 (above). Following is list of different test conducted in medical and tips to avoid the expenses and tension of additional/confirmatory tests

3. Urinalyses: Dipstick test to check presence of following. The thresholds are +1 for any of these. In case of breach of threshold, Microscopic analysis will be conducted with following thresholds
Blood: Threshold – RBC above 10 RBC/HPF
Protein: Threshold – greater than 0.30 mg/L
Glucose: Threshold: Presence

Blood and protein can be present in healthy person based on activities/food over last 24 hrs. So, to avoid repeat test DO NOT have high protein diet, exercise, s3xual activity (48 hrs), Alcohol (5-7 days), Soft drinks, Caffeinated drinks (Tea, Coffee - also for B.P), raw tomatoes, raw leafy vegetables, or dieting (i.e. very less food). Drink at least 3 - 4 liters of water in 4 hours before the test. Otherwise, you risk incurring the expenses of Microscopic test.

If threshold of microscopic test are also breached then Serum Creatinine will be conducted. The results of this tests will be submitted and analysed by doctors in Canadian medical center, who may accept, rejected, or advise further tests for the candidate.

4. Blood test: for Syphillis and HIV. Both are s3xually transmitted diseases. Syphillis can be treated with medicine and in case of detection, doctor will prescribe the medicine. All details of this treatment will be shared with CIC/VO.

5. X-Ray: Mainly for checking early signs of T.B. Nothing much can be done about it but avoid/reduce smoking 5-7 days prior to the test to minimize chances of chest infection. If you have symptoms of chest infection, discuss it with your physician to take proper antibiotic (to avoid additional cost of repeat X-Ray). However, you should disclose it to CIC physician that that u had minor chest infection recently an took antibiotic for that. CIC is not concerned with ur regular chest infection, they want to check early signs of T.B which can be hidden by infection and first test is marked "INCONCLUSIVE" and repeated at ur cost.

6. Physical examination: Blood pressure is main concern as it may signify hypertension if systolic is above 140 and diastolic is above 90. Avoid high cholesterol and other food which are known to result in high blood pressure. JUST MAKE SURE TO REMAIN CALM, and TAKE DEEP BREATHS, and your B.P will be within normal limits. Avoid getting mad at delays or cost of medical test Shocked. Chewing gum also helps in maintaining normal B.P.

The diseases checked in Physical examination include signs for hepatitis, Cancer, Cardiac diseases, Cognitive Impairment in Adults, Developmental delay in children, Psychiatric conditions (only those which can cause DANGER TO PUBLIC SAFETY and DEMAND ON SOCIAL/MEDICAL SERVICEs, if something remains under control through regular medication and chances of further deterioration are low, it won't be an issue).

Note: If initial tests are satisfactory, usually reports are not shared with CIC/VO but if confirmation tests are conducted or treatment is prescribed then reports of initial and all subsequent tests is shared with CIC/VO. If the diseases is curable for good through medicine, the candidate is not rejected on medical grounds but the candidate is put on hold till complete recovery. The treatment is prescribed and repeated medical test is conducted after prescribed duration.

Last but not least, DO NOT HIDE/MISREPRESENT ANY MEDICAL INFORMATION FROM THE DOCTOR WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT. IN CASE OF ANY ISSUE, THE PERSON WILL BE REQUIRED TO TAKE MEDICINE/CONSULT DOCTOR in CANADA and IF AT THAT TIME IT IS DISCOVERED THAT CANDIDATE MISREPRESENTED IN MEDICAL, IT WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF PR and DEPORTATION. YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOU HAVE INVESTED IN CANADA IN TERMS OF TIME AND MONEY. The above precautions works only for healthy person to avoid COSTS / TENSION OF REPEAT tests. These CAN NOT HIDE PRESENCE OF ACTUAL/CRITICAL DISEASE.

Important Notes
Note 1: Prefer eMedical center, it speeds up the process. Canada physician panel list at http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx does not highlight eMedical facility but u can call the center and check with them. Otherwise Australian website shows eMedical logo in front of such centers on http://www.immi.gov.au/Help/Pages/immigration-panel-physicians.aspx .
Note that all center's are not same, but there is a significant overlap. (credit: ashif_eee)

Note 2: Do ask the doctor to provide eMedical Information Report. It will help CIC to locate your results and also put pressure on physician to send ur medicals earlier otherwise he will do it in his own sweet time. Sending medical test payment receipt is optional.

Note 3: Following medical tests are conducted if everything is normal

Physical Examination: For all applicants
Urinalysis: For 5 year and older applicants
Chest X-Ray: For 11 year and older applicants
Blood pressure and Blood (HIV & Syphilis): For 15 year and older applicants
