Why have I received an Immigration Medical Examination request? My medical status was passed and is valid until Dec.

The message says I need to book an appointment with a panel physician in my area. There is a form attached in the message that I need to carry along.

Need to do this within 30 days

Anyone any idea?
Aor - Jan 11

This is a good sign that they have finally picked up ur case file and are making sure ur medicals are valid when u land in Canada because the case processing time might be take long or as seen in this forum after medical is accepted PR mail is fairly quick.
Can be both ways but i think u should
Just get it done as soon as possible .

Congratulations to everyone who received PPRs. I got mine on 13th of august. This group has provided tremendous support. Now I need to know about landing procedures and details regarding how to carry POF. Is there a separate thread for that?
Thankyou

In my case, I feared they gave me a final refusal so I had to make sure my new submitted docs received by them and this was why I called almost every day during that period.

I don’t encourage to call too often either. But I think weekly or biweekly call is fine as they would finish an application just 2-3 days if they open it (and could have an update even on weekend).

Mine as an example:
8.12 Monday: Still eligibility not met but not a final decision yet
8.14 Wednesday: My local MP’s assistant replied to me about my status when asking IRCC. She used different phrases than the agent and Goodale:

“We called IRCC and this was the information given:

a) there are concerns on his eligibility under the category he applied - IRCC will send official notification on this.”​

8.17 Saturday: Just after 2 weekdays, It was a Saturday, and I got an Ghost Update. It’s my application approval as I confirmed this by calling them on 8.19 Monday.

After I sent passport on 8.20, yesterday on my cic account, I saw that Review of Eligibility section updated to “August 17, 2019 Your eligibility has been reviewed” and Final Decision section updated to “Your application was approved”.

Just FYI~ Keep the faith!!!

Congrats dear

First of all congratulations!!!
This is suprisingly proactive. Most likely the case officer believes that by the time your decision will be made your medicals will be valid for less than 90 days. And, they are close to making a decision for you. A lot of people see their medicals extended (re-medicals waived) post delayed processing.
You should, however, raise a CSE directly with your visa office regarding this. If it is an error, they will rectify. But also take an appointment for a date 2 weeks from now.

Did you have any borderline results for your first medicals?
And, any ADRs during the process?

@SithLord what is AB14712 ?

Why do they assign files to AB14712 ? I mean what for like eligibility verification, security verification or for POF verification? Anybody have any idea about that ?? Please share.

AB14712 is the officer assigned to my case at Ottawa. As per my GCMS notes, he was suppose to make a decision on my case by May 23rd but the last time he touched it was on April 26.

I totally agree with Trumped's post about Canada immigration process. Those who have seen US immigration processes and even European immigration process, Canada's permanent residence program is the most welcoming of all. On a long enough time scale, a wait of 6 months to a year/year and half is not much. If you apply for US visa, there is no guarantee that it will be processed in a definite time frame. You will never get any records like GCMS. It is an extremely opaque system. So are are all European countries' systems. When I first read about this GCMS thing, I was like 'wow'! Is that even possible.

I am from India. I have lived for extended periods of time (more year to 2 years each) for work in 3 European countries, have lived in USA for about 5 years. I have been in Canada for more than a year now. I can definitely say that Canadians are one of the nicest people. I am sure each one of you will have pleasant experiences after you move here (except the salaries - that sucks big time )

Stay positive for some more time!!

You are not true about if you apply for US Visa there is no guarantee when it will be processed. Its true only about GC.

US Visa you can always get approval/rejection/RFEs as per the USCIS timelines trend posted on their website. On top of that they always go in chronological order. It is never like someone applied in Jan will not get any update at all but a new person applying in March-April will get update. Whereas with IRCC it is otherwise.

But yes in terms of transparency it is definitely not transparent on what basis someone gets approved for extensions and some are not. Atleast GCMS notes are helpful and they have someone to reach out to.

Still I agree, no where else a person will get an option of applying PR sitting at home and even with year's time, it is fairly quick process of Canada Immigration.

Yeah, from my experience of the H1B visa lottery, there was at least a clear picture within just the first few weeks, whether I will make it or not... and that's without the premium processing (since they had stopped it) ! I had the opportunity to plan ahead and I really appreciate USCIS for that! No one would really care for transparency when there's actual efficiency
