Need suggestion Medical Exam for Express Entry

[ravivamsi.17]

Hi Guys,

I have received the invitation to apply for Canada Express Entry. I have got all the documents ready just now. But I have taken an upfront medical exam back on May 4th and its been already 7 and half months now. I know that the medicals are valid for one year before arriving to Canada. My question is what if the express entry processing gets delayed and by the time i get my application approval medicals expire, is there a chance of extending the medicals by contacting IRCC or do i have to retake the medicals again before submitting or will they request me to retake the medicals without refusing the application if the medicals expire before the decision on the application if i go ahead and submit now ?

Please advise. Need suggestion as soon as possible due to time sensitivity.

Thanks all in advance.

Best Regards,
Vamsi

I can't say what they will do but given that you have to travel before your medicals expire and the average processing time is 6 months, I'd highly encourage you to redo the medicals before submitting
