They ask for medical request after a positive eligiblity review. Your medical is the admissibility stage.
Are you sure? Once they have started eligibility, they ask for medical request? What about my case, i took upfront and after 5 days it get updated and said i passes. Does it mean, they already reviewed my eligibility?

I took upfront medical and later after 5 days, it updated in my account and says I have passed the medical. I have not got any medical request. Does it mean they reviewed my eligibility before updating my medical?

As far as I have observed in non-SDS, medical request comes after they have made a decision on your application and usually PPR follows immediately after medical is done. So I guess nothing to worry about.
but what about those medical passed updated (took upfront) but haven't got medical request. Does it mean i am a little step to the final decision?

You're in an entirely different scenario here. You did upfront medicals so passing it has no correlation with your eligibility review. I'm talking about applicants whom did not go for upfront and instead waited for medical request.

okay I suggested to go for medical examination because I had seen people raise web forms for medical request, even after submitting their application ,and it will save your time.Hope you get your study permit soon.

If you did upfront medical, you won't receive a medical request unless it's going to expire or has expired.

Yes technically there is a rule, you went for an upfront medical, thats something that you did before submitting the online application (that's one of the processes). For someone like me who has already submitted application without a medical, IRCC is supposed to send you a letter for the same.

Below is the information on the official webpage:

"Getting an exam before you submit your application
You have the option of getting an exam before you apply. This is called an upfront medical exam. To get one, contact a panel physician directly.

You can get one if you apply to:

  • visit (including parent and grandparent super visa)
  • work
  • study
Getting an exam after you submit your application
We’ll send you instructions on how to get your medical exam done. You must go for your medical exam within 30 days of receiving these instructions.

If you don’t follow these instructions, we may refuse your application."

The above in red clearly says to follow instructions, that is why I am confirming from you out of worry.

This applies for recently submitted applications or for old applications as well? My sister's been waiting for 15 weeks now since she gave biometrics. No updates, no AIP, no medical request letter.

Simply means your medical results are all clear and has no problems. If you did upfront medical, you won't receive a medical request unless it's going to expire or has expired.

yes as far as i know. it means you passed eligibility and they are in the admissibility stage. seen many people get refusals before medicals requests.

it's not guarantee but it boosts your chances of approval

Submitted my application (non sds) since June2020. Did my upfront medical as well. Now this April2021 they're requesting for a medical. Do I have to do it again given I have done my upfront already last June2020? And why my application is almost a year already :(
after taking your upfront, was it updated on your GC account or not? Does it say you passed before receiving a medical request? I mean did your upfront medical appear on your GC account?

Yes, it just new. I just took 5 days ago and got updated as passed already. Does it mean I passed Eligibility?
