Do you know this for a fact because I've heard differently?

It will all depend on the Officers evaluating the case. If they want to see another medical, they will request one. They do have the option to extend a medical past the year.

Should your previous medical exam expire, they will most likely recommend another one.

As OP is not living in a risk country, IRCC will most likely just extend the medical.
 
You can get as many medical examinations as you like before the last medical exam expires. CIC/IRCC will only consider the most recent one. They will not 'hold' your file just because you got another medical exam done before your last one expired.

You could always wait to hear back from CIC/IRCC. Should your previous medical exam expire, they will most likely recommend another one.

I am in the same scenario and I would prefer doing new medicals before I reapply. However, the hospital tells me as long as I'm in their "system" & until the previous medical does not expire they cannot do another one.
