My question is exactly the same. I don't know if we can travel for medical during lockdown that's why i was just checking whether anyone done during this time.
i called and checked with Asiri Surgical, they said we can book appointments but they don't guarantee that this appointment slip is enough for us to the travel.

Im waiting for Medical. Can you share your process timeline.
How long have you been waiting before getting the medical request?
have you received your sponsorship approval, which usually comes after AOR? Your file will be moved to Colombo visa office only after the SA and you will get the Med request may be a month or two after file transfer. Basically this what happened in my case and few others I follow but I am not very sure about yours.

My Application transferred to Colombo VO on 17th Feb 2021. also got the biometric, SA. but since then I haven't heard anything. I hear the normal wait time is 3 months for medical.

How did you find the date of file transfer to Colombo?
APP Received April 02/20
Aor1 , SA, BIL - Jan 15/ 21
Medical request- may 10/21
I didn't receive AOR 2
In the SA on first page para 3, they would have mentioned that the Application will be forwarded to the Colombo office for further processing.
I believe AOR2 is something like an acknowledgement which Colombo office sends more towards the later stage of processing.

Hi @Thabe, I did my medical today, you can travel with the doctor appointment. In my case, nobody stopped us and inquired about the trip

Thanks for your reply.
I am from Jaffna, is it okay to travel from that far or do i need to get permission from police?
Which place you went for the medical?
June 10 is my last date.

I think you need to get permission letter but I don't know the exact procedure. its better if you can speak to police head quarters. I just called and clarified before booking the appointment.
I did Medical in Asiri Surgical and I live in colombo so I didn't face any issue while travelling. In your case, you may have to travel between provinces so it's better to check with them. Moreover, you have to inform the Canadian embassy about the delay. I think you should mail them today or at least by tomorrow.

Hi, you can apply online. I believe you can renew but they don't change the time frame in your original Police certificate ( which means everything else remains the same except the date of issue) if you haven't stayed in SL during the period then you can go with this option.

If not you can apply for the new one online with new time frame but if you are from Jaffna, then you need to get the documents signed again by your GS and redo all other procedure.
If you are from Colombo, I think requesting new one through online would be straight forward (just that police will visit your place where you lived) .

This what i know. I also tried to renew mine about an year ago but without change in timeframe, Canadian embassy won't accept as they want it till date. Since they change the policies often, it's always better to call police head quarters in Colombo and get it clarified. They are very helpful and will tell you exactly what need to be done.
