Hi all,

Just an update to my application. I just received a message asking me to re-take the medical exam. I’ve also read in other threads that there’re people being asked to so. I guess that’s probably required for us long AOR (May 2019, EE Outland) but no PPR applicants. To be positive, does that mean they’ve restarted to process or applications??

Previous webform suggested:
-eligibility passed
-security valid
-criminality valid

Yours,
Rob

It's movement, Rob. Yes, they have started to process but not sure when PPR will be sent.

Hello Rob,

I was also asked to re-do medicals a week ago. No PPR yet though. I believe they are doing it to move files forward as much as possible. Once they allow people in they will start sending PPR.

How do you know when a med expires? Is it a year from the date you went to the doctor and received a signed diagnosis report or a year after the IRCC approved your medical?

A year after the day you did the medical. The appointment date on your eMedical form. :)

Nope.
Starting Date for Calculating the 12 Month Validity Period of a Medical Certificate: the last medical assessment on file is the starting date for the 12 month validity of a medical certificate.

Hi,
Aor 5 oct ,2019
Today I got update in myCIC account in which medical status changed from "medical passed on 17 October" to "you do not need a medical exam.We will send you message if this changes."
Has anyone else got such an update? And please share any idea or opinion about it .

The way I interpret that, it's just telling IRCC people to use the most recent medical certificate for validity checks.

In same page it says:
"Medical certificates for applicants who pass a medical examination in or outside Canada are valid for twelve months from the date of the last medical assessment of an applicant’s file by a medical officer and/or delegated staff. "
I'm confused. Which one is correct?

When did you actually complete your medical? I mean when your e-medical form was issued?
