Medical for CEC

[ripcup]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if anyone knows about how upfront medical exams work for CEC? I did a medical exam for PR to TR (international students) application which I missed because the program got full but I did my medical exam on 14th of May, 2021.
I will be applying for my PR something in mid-August 2021 when I get my one-year experience and my scores are relatively good (470ish) so I will come out of the first draw. My question is that:

- Do you guys suggest I use the upfront med exam that I already have? If I apply in September, it will have 8 months to expiry date!

- Once the medical exam is passed after I submit my application in September, even if my application takes more than 8 months and passes the 'one-year' expiry date of my medical, will I be required to re-do my medical exam considering that I am already in Canada?

You can use the medical exam receipt you already have for second application. If your file takes longer than the old medical expiry, they will request another one before taking final decision.

Thank you! Do you have any idea about the estimated processing time for CEC class recently? I know they write for 6 months but how does it work in reality. I have a pretty straightforward application (single and only one job ...). I would rather take a new one after receiving the invitation if they don't do the extension anymore. I just feel that would save more time in the long run. What is your opinion on that?
