Is the "IME temporary policy" for In-canada applicants applicable for my unaccompanying spouse who lives in Canada?

Hi all,

There has been a temporary policy for In Canada applicants with regards to IME.
The new temporary policy states the following:

" If you completed an IME on or after October 6, 2017, as part of a previous application, include the IME number (or unique medical identifier number) from your previous medical exam in your current application.

You may be exempt from completing another IME if you meet all of these conditions:

• You applied, or are applying, for either permanent residence or temporary residence.
• You already live in Canada.
• You completed your previous IME in the last 5 years.
• Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada found your medical exam to indicate a low risk or no risk to public health or public safety. "

Here's the link: IME Details

My questions are:
1. My husband has a PR and is living in Canada. Does he have to get a latest IME done or can he use his old IME which was taken less than 5 years ago.
2. Do I just upload the information sheet I received from the clinic or do I also need the imm-1017b form?

Please help!

Thanks

Update: I uploaded my old IME and my husband's old IME. Did not fill out the imm-1017b form. My PR application is approved.
