Hello bugsbong did u check the cic website We are in the same boat, but according to their page expired medical can be extended by visa office for another year if your application has been done before it reach 15months of processing... Hope this will enlighten you on your queries good day...

Hello mariechan, where did you get this info? I had my upfront medical examination last April 17, 2015 and I ordered notes just recently and it says there my medical is Passed and it will Expired May 16, 2016 and our application was inprocess 9 months now..so that means the visa officer can extend my medical for another year?
Your post gives me another hope and not worrying about my medical. Please, kindly post the link about this info. thank you!

I'm a November 2015 applicant. I ordered notes beginning of April and all status' were 'Not Started'. On May 26th the new file viewing system goes live, hopefully it'll give us a better idea where we are, without having to order notes, here's hoping at least.

--- baka pwede mong gawin yun provided na makapag-pa-reserved ka ng slot mo sa cfo for PDOS lalo na kung same date ng flight mo.... from 9 or 9:30- 12nn lang naman ung seminar time na nandun sa web nila eh... dapat ang makuha mong flight pang-gabi para di ka magahol sa oras... ang pagagawa ko sa asawa ko nyan, after nya kunin visa nya, kung pwede PDOS na din xa the next day...

Hello, newbie here. I posted a topic with regards to my concern. Unfortunately I cannot post the link here. Maybe you can view when you click on my code name - I hope.

Anyone here who applied or in the process of applying under Family Class Sponsorship, with dependent illegitimate child?

I have 2 children. One of them, his birth certificate shows the father's info and signed but my son is registered using my maiden name. You think that IMM 5604 will still be needed if i already have an Affidavit of Illegitimacy and sole Parental Authority?

 

[shemah23]

wala pa namang by appointment only ang PDOS di ba? balita ko kasi by Aug may Appointment system na

--- may nakita lang akong reservation & registration sa website, so I thought kailangan magpa-reserve to get a sure spot... pero cgro ipapatanong ko na lang sa asawa ko when he picks up his passport kung pwede namang di na magpa-reserve... mas maganda nga kung punta na lang xa agad sa cfo, malamang naman makakakuha xa ng spot basta maaga lang...

Hello, I'm still compiling all papers/docs needed prior to sending application. I already got my CFO certificate last March. Lifetime naman daw kasi ang certificate. We were told na babalik na lang kami sa kanila once may visa issued na daw ang CEM. AFAIK you have to have a confirmed appointment kasi sa guard pa lang ipapakita mo yung print out ng registration and appointment, then the guard will tell you which floor level you will have to go. In this case, it's on the 3rd floor of Citigold Bldg. Also, pwede din sa airport na dumeretso to get the CFO sticker for your passport. Just make sure lang you have with you the certificate issued by CFO.

Reassessments for a new medical certificate
This section contains policy, procedures and guidance used by IRCC staff. It is posted on the IRCC website as a courtesy to stakeholders.
Officers can request a reassessment of an applicant’s medical file by a medical officer or a Health Branch delegated staff. Such request may result in the issuance of a new medical certificate.

Note:

The decision to grant a reassessment is at the discretion of a medical officer or a Health Branch delegated staff.

The process applies only to cases where a final decision is pending due to either:

the expiration of a medical certificate; or,
when the validity of the medical certificate is about to expire and the applicant is unable to land before it expires.
The process does not apply to applicants who are inadmissible on health grounds since inadmissible ‘M’ profiles do not expire.

Eligibility criteria for requesting a reassessment of the applicant’s medical file:
Medical assessment is less than 15 months old (for applicants residing inside or outside Canada); or
Medical assessment is older than 15 months, and the applicant has been residing in Canada continuously for at least the past 2 years (for applicants residing in Canada)


Just type in google re assessment for new medical certificate and it will lead you there since i cant the post links...


Summary

Officers can request that an applicant’s medical file be reassessed by a Medical Officer (MOF) or a Health Branch (HB) delegated staff for the issuance of a new medical certificate. The process applies to cases where a final decision of an officer is pending only due to the expiration of a medical certificate or when the validity of the medical certificate is about to expire and the applicant is unable to land before it expires. This process is limited to applicants who had a routine immigration medical examination (IME) done by a panel physician within the last 15 months in or outside Canada. The new medical certificate issued will be valid for 12 months.

Issue

This Operational Bulletin aims to standardize the reassessment of a medical file for the issuance of a new medical certificate to ensure alignment with the legislation while fulfilling departmental operational needs. This procedure is limited to situations where the final decision of an officer is pending due only to the expiration of a medical certificate. If anything else is pending, the officer should not use this procedure.

Background

According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR), sections 30(4) and 72(1)(e)(iii), foreign nationals (FNs) who seek to enter Canada and those already in Canada applying to become permanent residents must hold a medical certificate based on the most recent medical examination to which they were required to submit under the IRPR within the previous twelve months, indicating that they are not inadmissible on health grounds. However, upon request of an officer, HB has been granting ‘extension of IME validity’ for periods varying from one to twelve months in order to support operational needs. This process has been reviewed for better alignment with the legislation and strengthening of program integrity.

A medical assessment, which is a medical examination for the purposes of immigration, is the review of an applicant’s medical file by a MOF and/or HB delegated staff. The result of the last medical assessment is entered in Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) electronic platforms (such as the Global Case Management System (GCMS) or Field Operations Support System (FOSS) as an ‘M’ profile indicating that an applicant is either admissible or inadmissible on health grounds. A medical certificate is an ‘M’ profile indicating that an applicant underwent a medical examination within the previous 12 months and is not inadmissible on health grounds (therefore limited to M1, M2, M3, M23, M19, M29, and M39 profiles).
