November 2018 AOR - Join here

Even I want to know this. This way if there is a remed request then they will already have my result. Medical in India is not very expensive so there is no harm in taking it.

Since morning I've been digging hard on this but can't seem to find anything. I'm not sure if this is same as doing upfront medicals or you need to fill some new form

Congratulations. Good luck for future

Thanks

@SithLord it is crazy to see people in 2019 March- May saying that they got PPR with so much ease like "Hey i got ppr - thanks everyone"" - and i am like - you do not know what you got and how easy it was when people in 2018 are waiting so anxiously and eagerly for this Email ...
Every PPR Email from 2018 candidates is like BINGO and everyone gets excited each time someone gets a PPR whereas in 2019 it is just another person getting PPR

I asked that a while back and no one replied... I'm seriously considering that since there's only a bit over a month until my meds expire.

btw, the only ghost update I got was 2 weeks over I proactively sent my husband's military service form

Even I am seriously considering this now as it doesn't look like my case will be picked up anytime soon. I'm definitely going to be stuck here for 1 year. or maybe more.

submitting a new medical form might be the only shot for them to look at my case.

Only thing I've managed to find so far is that they will not refuse your case if you re-take medicals before they request you to take it.

Yes, I have noticed that too. Most of them are panicking before even completing 6 months because others got it in 4-5 months

I have also noticed applicants from post February 2019 are getting PPR at a very fast rate. All call centre agents I talked to have said 8 months is the normal processing time because they have received so many applications. Honestly, no clue how the backlogs have not affected them. It's very strange how slow 2018 applications are being processed compared to 2019.

It will be funny if November 2019 cases get PPR before us

if both of us do this and both the our pprs, than it would definitely be a trend!

Because the Express Entry system replaced the old system, which was based on FIFO (first - in, first - out)

I'm going to wait till August 29th as that's my new due date. if nothing comes up I am just going to take my medical exam. Worse thing that could happen is they will be upset I retook medicals before they requested for it. Well, I waited 10 freaking months for them to look at my case.

So basically, the new system is FILO(First In, Last Out)

@SithLord It seems like as far as i know - 2018 was a year where they gave out too many ITA's - beyond what their system can handle - which could explain the volume of backlogs..
Around Jan- Feb 2019 - they started streamlining their processing - started regulating CRS scores and ITA's given out ..
So volume of applicants in 2019 has reduced compared to 2018 - hence increase in % of PPR's given out to meet their 80%threshold..

There are applicants who supposedly fall over the 80% in 2019 (i do not believe they meet 80% every month- maybe 60%+) whose application has not even started getting processed..
It is a balance between clearing backlogs from 2018 &2017 for them while getting as many PPR's for 2019 ..

For every PPR for 2018 - looks like atleast 10-15 PPR's are given out for 2019(not precise - just an assumption by the way it looks)..
The Good news is THEY HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN 2018 BACKLOG FILES altogether..
Everytime someone from 2018 gets PPR - i feel happy and glad that there is still movement..
As days gets closer to Med Exp (1 yr) - there is hope ..

Lets pray - all the 2017(there are still some) and ALL 2018 FILES gets cleared in next 2-3 Months and not beyond that

Hello Sir,
Can you please elaborate on IRCC's new working system?

So I just found out you cannot take your second medical exam without a request from CIC.

Unlike upfront medical exam where you can just walk in to the hospital and get your exam done, to re-take medicals you will need to submit 'IMM 1017E'. This form is not available anywhere for download and will only be provided by CIC when they send you a medical request.

And there goes our hopes... even my GCMS notes are delayed now, should have received them yesterday

That pretty much killed all hopes now. There is just no way for us to trigger our applications. Who knows when they will send us remedial request. It could be next year considering they're already planning on taking winter break in December.

They even refused my withdrawal request, so now I can't even send a new application. There is just no end to this nightmare.

I'm feeling the same... I would at least like to know why this delay... I've applied for a study permit beginning of June because I didn't trust them to finish my PR application by September, but even that is delayed, 11 weeks and no news at all
