Didn't they ask you for re-medical? My AOR is July 17th, why they asked me to redo it
What date did you do your 1st medicals? It's not by AOR date but by medical validity. Congratulations on your incoming ppr
My medical was done on July 11th, 2018. So more than 2 months to go. Why would they want my medical again 2 months prior?
Yea I think so too. Sometimes they think you can't land within now and July 11th, 2019. Which is crazy coz you should be given the option to decide.
Exactly. I'm ready to pack my belongings and land in 2 months period. Why do I have to pay a lot of money for the whole family again just because of someone's personal opinion?
They asked for my re-med too although ours expire on 11th Aug. Got a request on 13th April so almost 4 months were left before their expiry. I even sent a talked to an agent that we are ready to travel and he said you will have to give meds again
Did you ask the agent what was the point? Medical validity is 12 months, not 8 ones.
Damn, seems like they just want extra money for medical
They said it differs from case to case. We need to re-assess you and you will have to get it done again
Hello everyone and @legalfalcon . I am an inland applicant. I was in security screening since last Aug, and 2 days ago (May 2nd) I received a ghost update, and my Medical status changed from "Medical Passed" to "You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.". I thought that is an indication that my security was cleared and medical was automatically extended. However when I called CIC, the agent told me nothing has changed, and security is still in progress 
Does anyone know if a medical extension is only initiated when everything(eligibility, criminality, security) is passed and waiting for final decision? Or anyone whose medical expired will be automatically extended?

Ignore the agent. Your SS is complete. Those agents, depending on who you speak to might not know where to look. As far as trends have shown, if one has been in SS and gets ghost update, SS is complete. You just have to wait for an officer to come round to review and initiate re-med request.Hello everyone and @legalfalcon . I am an inland applicant.
