Hi sir, i am a cec applicant with outland minor dependent. My aor is oct 2019 and everything passed since march 2020 based from my calls to ircc.But our medicals already expired last oct 2020 but no request for re medical yet. The last update i got was last yr march 2020 wherein they asked to confirm my dependent’s address. Nothing after that. Now that my BOWP will expire on october 2021, am i able to apply a study permit for my son when I renew the bowp? Also do security and criminality checks expire after u passed it? Im just concerned that my application is taking too long to process and they might have to do all background checks again. Thanks a lot
If your medicals have expired, they may have already been extended. You can IRCC and find our or send a webform. Here is my post on medicals:

If your BOPW is expiring you can seek an extension. The study permit for your son will be a separate application and will be processed on its own merits.

Security screening and criminality does have a shelf life, just that in the manual it has been redacted, so we are unclear what the duration is. Since security screening is a time consuming process, and takes a long time, once done, redoing it, logically won't make any sense unless the individual parameters of an application mandate it. This is my opinion.
Since the procedure for the security screening information is not disclosed, and what ever is disclosed is available at
https://bit.ly/3apWglN which also has the security screening manual.
Just like medicals and criminality, security also has a shelf life. Since it is not disclosed, we cannot speculate how long it is. Also, security is based on multiple parameters and with COVID, lot of internal policy directives have be issued, such as extending medicals, and the same should be for security and criminality too.
