Hello all,
My aor is march 2020 and my medicals are expired in Jan 2021. As my the last gcms (June 20121) my file is approved but could not find the extension of medicals. Do u suggest going for a upfront remeds now or wait for ircc to contact. If I do upfront meds i can save some time.

Always wait for instructions!
It might cause disturbance if you act by your own

You don't need to do remedicals unless they request you to do so, especially if you are in Canada already.
check this link for exemption :

Please read the above mentioned thread.

Kubeir Sir advise on the same, verbatim:

If one had medicals around 18 months back then he/she should go for upfront RE-medicals

Here you were an outland applicant not inland applicant.
Outland applicants need to do remedicals if it has been already more than 12 months since their first medicals.
Yes it's almost 8 months after meds are expired. But in gcms my file is approved so will ircc ask to do remeds for approved file also. I am in covid rfv group

Depends on from where you are applying
If you are applying from outside canada, go ahead and do remedicals

Hi Experts,
Our child medicals expired in April 2024 and he has travelled with us but now we did upfront medicals for his travel. so the question is medicals must be updated (already submitted webform) or we can travel without update in the portal. The child is minor.
