Hello!

I received my letter of introduction today from IRCC. The thing is I took my medical exam last year in July and it expires on 12th July this year that is before I reach Canada. Will I face problems at the port of entry due to this? Any response will be greatly appreciated.
 
You should take another your medical exam. Otherwise, the counterfoil (the visa stamped on your passport) may become invalid. It states specifically in the letter of introduction that your medical exam must still be valid when you arrive in Canada.

Thanks for responding!
But when can get my remedical done? Before or after it expires in July?

Should do it now, as early as possible. And then upload it onto Webform to inform IRCC. Remember that the validity of the medical exam is just 1 year. So you want to make sure that you redo the medical exam and leave enough time for IRCC to become aware of the new one so that they will not deactivate your visa.

You can re appear before panel of physician once ur old medical expire. Once you had it you just keep the sheet with you. You dont have to send it via webform as the e-medical is sent directly to IRCC by the centre. However you keep that updated medical with you when you enter .

Did you use the IME that you used before? thanks!
 
I kept the old one that I uploaded and had the new one with me at Port when I stepped in to Canada
I mean when you did the remedical, you did not wait for any request from IRCC. You just did it upfront and used the old IME request?
 
I had me remedical before departure but after visa arrival.
So my visa arrived but medical expired. I re appeared before leaving for Canada
