The changes are a result of changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations that came into force on April 1, 2010. Section 30(2) of the Regulations provide that:

(2.1) A foreign national who has applied for permanent resident status and is a member of the live-in caregiver class is not required to submit to a medical examination under subsection (1).

However, while a medical examination is not required, an officer does have the discretion to order one. Operational Bulletin 232 specifies how this discretion should be exercised. The Bulletin states:

* Officers should only consider requesting that a live-in caregiver complete a medical examination as part of an application for permanent residence if the officer has reason to believe that the live-in caregiver has a health condition that is likely to endanger public health or safety.
* Should the officer believe that this is the case, then the officer shall consult with National Headquarters / Case Management Branch on the details of the case in question for consideration prior to requesting that the applicant complete a medical examination.

* Where a live-in caregiver has already completed a medical examination as part of their application for permanent residence, and is currently in the stages of procedural fairness correspondence based on a medical notification indicating inadmissibility due to excessive demand, then the officer should consider whether an exemption of the inadmissibility may be warranted on humanitarian and compassionate/public policy grounds.

* Should NHQ/CMB indicate that a live-in caregiver should complete a medical examination as part of their application for permanent residence, and the caregiver is subsequently found to be inadmissible on health grounds, then the applicant may choose to request consideration on humanitarian and compassionate/public policy grounds. Further consultation with NHQ/CMB will be undertaken prior to refusal of any such requests for consideration under humanitarian and compassionate/public policy provisions.

Call CIC and clarify the medical request. It probably is an oversight on the part of the officer who processed your documents. The following are posts from other members who submitted PR apps in 2009 and did not have second medical:

@ rosellyalung - Hi! I called CIC & I was informed that they already sent the file of my dependents in MANILA Oct.29 but up to now they haven't received any yet from the Embassy of Canada in Manila. My Open Work Permit has not arrived yet as well but I am hopeful that in God's time it'll all come

Hi, girls!

Hi, girls! I am a single Live-in caregiver waiting for the OWP and the PR. I sent my application on Lune 28, they received it on June 29 2010. Still not on eCas...
I have a question here that might be interesting for many. When I was getting ready to come to Canada and had to go through the medical in my home country, they found a scar on one of my lungs. I had to go through different tests which proved that it wasn't tuberculoses, but the suspicion remained. I was given my work visa but they also gave me a paper saying that I had "inactive tuberculoses" and I had to contact the nearest tuberculoses centre after coming to Canada for some more tests. I had X-rays, and some other tests. Negative.

OK, on April 1 they decided that it wasn't necessary for the caregivers to go through another medical, but it's in the power of the officer to decide that. The TB is a very scary word here. What do you think they will do with me? Has anybody heard anything? Does anybody know anybody with the same problem?

I will appreciate every word!
