Hi Again, (September 12 applicant)

I'm confused. I received an email with the following:

These medical instructions are being issued since your application has been processed to the stage
where medical examination results are now required. Please read these instructions carefully.

It says nothing about being a remed! Is this normal?

The original medicals were done on Sept 7, 2012 and I emailed CEM last Sunday asking if we needed a remed. No response and now this email shows up. Maybe their subtle way of asking for another medical? This letter doesn't even acknowledge the fact that medicals were already done. Some people seem to be getting extensions on their original meds.

Should I try contacting them again or is it pointless? We don't want to have to go through this again but I don't want to delay my wife's application any longer.

Always appreciate the advice!
Thanks,
Scosan
That is the remed request.
They don't inform you that the initial one expired but instead they just ask you for a new medical exam.
That's the exact email my husband got after 2 months of his medical expiration.

Welcome! This is the English thread.. the other thread can give you plenty of feedback in Tagalog if you feel more comfortable in your own language. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/updated-topics/-t40680.0.html;topicseen

PPR's usually arrive by email to both the sponsor and the applicant.

Hey Scosan, very interesting. My partner did his medicals back in aug2012, and after hearing nothing from CEM for like 9 months, I emailed them last week to ask if partner needed to get remed, and just as in your case, he gets the same email not long after!

Did they forget about our files, and then when we email them they're like "oops! Oh yeah! Better get this applicant to do another medical cause theirs IS expired!"
