Hi everyone,

I am almost three months into applying for permanent residency and I just received my visitor extension today. A bit of background, my original work permit expired Mar 30, 2018, so I applied for a six month visitor extension to make sure my status is still legal until a new work permit is issued.

I received confirmation that my visitor visa had been approved last week and the official document arrived in the post today. I noticed at the bottom of the document under observations, it states:

MUST UNDERGO IMMIGRATION MEDICAL WITHIN 30 DAYS. FORMS HAVE BEEN EMAILED/MAILED SEPARATELY.

I have yet to receive those forms and strangely and my online status for the application never mentioned needing the medical. I have included a copy of my online status below.

I guess my question is two fold, I have no problem organizing the medical to make sure I do not void my status, but I was wondering if it is necessary if the online account does not mention it and no further paperwork was received? Secondly, if I am required to do the medical, will the results count for the PR application too or will a second medical need done.

I appreciate that every circumstances are different and appreciate you taking the time to read my post :) Thank you in advance for any insight or advice you can provide.

Jen

I would call cic to verify. You could also post this question in the visitor visa (temporary resident) section if this forum. There you may get a different answer as opposed to here in the family class section.
