Medical check up for TFW

[Beka_81]

Hello everyone... I need a help
I am a TFW with a valid visa till 2013 September, but i left the previous job and i am in my home country, it's almost 1 year. Now i received a new LMO and work contract... i was told that if the visa is valid i do not need to go through the embassy. But question is do i have to pass medical check up once again? because i have already done this when i submitted papers for visa in 2010.

As you will apply WP from outside Canada, after submitting your application for WP, if medical is again needed, visa office will inform you.

I thought medicals were valid for one year. Check out the CIC Manuals to be on the safe side.

I've done a little digging. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/fw/fw01-eng.pdf
Check out section 9. There are a number of points including the following:
Six-month rule R30(1)(c)
Applicants who don’t otherwise require a medical as per R30(1)(b), and who intend to be in
Canada for more than six months, and have resided in a designated country for more than six
months within the year preceding their arrival in Canada, are required to undergo a medical
examination. The determining factor is not citizenship, but whether the person resided in a
designated country in the preceding twelve months. Designated countries are noted at the
following address: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/dcl.asp.
