Hello everyone. Here with an update.
So on June 9th I was sent a medical request (without AIP) (Ecas: In Process - Medical required). I made an appointment for the following week but first thing in a Monday morning I received an email from IRCC that medical is not required and I should cancel my appointment until further notice. Nothing on status update upon asking. Was told that I will be contacted if anything required. It was very scary since I had not received the AIP so it put me in doubt. I thought maybe I will be exempted since I haven't left Canada in more than 5 years but these were all my guesses and I could only wait for an email update.
However, Today I received my AIP in the email confirming the approval. So Thank God ! I hope and pray the same for you all.
The email states that I will now be issued a medical request to be expected in a day or two. I don't mind waiting for the follow up process since I've waited so much already, but I just found it odd and inefficient. I could have completed my medical if it was required at the end of the day and have saved some time. But it's all okay in the end thank God.
And thank you guys, all the members and contributors, I started my H&C journey after stumbling upon this forum and with the help and guidance from past and current members. Will keep updated what happens next going forward. Thank you
