New Public Policy to exempt inland applicants for Medical exam

[engimam]

Hello guys,

There is a new public policy issued today to exempt inland applicants from Medical exams for PR applications. However, the policy is not clear is it for only current applicants or new applicants as well ?. I received ITA last week for CEC inland, and I have not submitted my application yet. Will this apply to me ?

Will depend on your age, medical history, when you did your last medical, if you traveled out of Canada, etc. This seems like a temporary policy to speed up processing. Would assume young people who have done medicals relatively recently and who have remained in Canada will be the ones selected. You will need to wait and see if you are asked to do a medical.

Hey did you proceed with the exemption details as per new policy in effect? I believe you have already submitted your eAPR, so did you do a new medical or just the previous (within 5 yrs one)

I have submitted my application one month ago, but I am still waiting for their decision to extend it or ask me for a new one.

They rejected my CEC just now, but i called IRCC and they are doing a reconsideration because the rationale of the rejection is that the medical was 12 months ago. With the new policy im hopeful that i can use my medical from my student visa application last 2017 to be considered

I am in the same situation and looking for the answer? should I take the upfront medical check up or apply with the previous IME, appreciate the response here!

when did you apply? did you get any news ? can we use old IME report/Number for submission of the application?

According to both the IRCC agents I spoke to when updating my reconsideration, they said my old IME from my student permit is indeed valid and they see no reason why they cancelled my applciation. so Im not certain, but based on what they said, I guess you can

Thank you so much for your response , just a small question did you apply when gbe temporary exemption given or before that ? That means after 28th June or before?

Did they reconsider and revert the rejection yet ? its totally irresponsible of them being ignorant about their own policy. If medicals needed they might send you a request in your account. This is totally unacceptable.

Even I have the same doubt. But that states already submitted and new applications to be submitted and pending applications, so he will be coming under already submitted category right.

Any update from them
