So I started my studies in Jan 2020. I got fresh passport in July and extended my permit in July 2020. Now I hold valid permit up until 2023.

I have lived in India for more than 6 month now. I have heard that I require to do a IRCC medical test again if I want to return to Canada. Is this true?

I anyway hold a IRCC medical test done on 10 July 2020 (did for permit extension in canada).

Hopefully ban gets lifted so I can travel on 27 June

Yes, medical exams are valid for one year. For the most part, you wouldn’t face any problem if you are able to travel to Canada before your current medical report expires. However, I would check the status of your medical validity on your online application before you travel.

Good luck.

Are you sure returning students already holding valid permit (not just approval letter) require medicals?

Doesn't matter since you have a valid medical at this time. If you will be travelling after your medical expires, you'll need to find out from IRCC if you need a new one.
