In my GCMS notes. Medicals are valid for 1 year. IRCC has the discretion to extend.
It's 1 year from the date they are filed, right? We were sent the completed eMedical. Add 1 year to the date :)

How did you all determine when your medicals expire?
It is valid for 1 year according to the CIC website.

In my case the cic call center rep told me the expiration date.

Okay that's why it is July and not June expiry for us. I knew we did them in June 2016 but I guess they did not file until July 2017.

I am getting more and more annoyed by the second. I remember when Botengcoke thought he received SA. At that time I did not know he had a representative. The representative should have been able to tell him whether he had received SA and AIP if he got that prior to DM. That means there was a problem with 1-4 e-mails that were "not received" by representative.

Now he wants to charge him for paying RPRF and he did not even have the courtesy to write the letter and send it to Botengcoke to sign. Really???

IMHO, if you are representing someone you advise them to pay the full fee at the beginning, if they can afford it.

that what we did pay full upfront

Is there a loophole anybody's found to reaching a representative? I'm calling 1888-242-2100. I've tried 3 times yesterday and 4 times today with no luck.

That's the number. You can try to bypass the waiting queue by selection options for citizenship

So, congressmen have come out since that was "suggested" by his friend, saying that they will take over the special counsel, and will re-hire Mueller if that happens. That said, Trump is sh*tting bricks, because the legal team that Mueller has built up to handle this consists of members who brought down Watergate and Enron, as well as prosecuted Clinton for some *innocent* fun with Monica.... What was she thinking??? lmao
well the Donald seems like he maybe making bullets to but he knows he's busted

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to give an update and have a few questions answered. I will give you a bit of a run down on the status of our application. Anyone with any information would be helpful. Thanks so much!
Sent in sponsorship inland application 7-25-2016
Was unable to link account on ecas until 4-18-2017
As of yesterday, 6-11-2017 there had been no updates on my online account. Then I checked and myself and three dependents are now listed there on the screen with our UCI numbers. I called the IRCC centre and the automated system advised me that we need medical checks and to check online account for instructions. Our eligibility and background checks have been pending for 6 months....still no news in that area. When I checked the online account for instructions for medical checks...it states your action is required but when I click there to check messages, there are none. Not sure what I am suppose to do now? Should I go ahead and call to set an appointment for medical checks even though I don't have any forms or instructions? How long does it typically take to do the eligibility for sponsorship part and the background checks because I feel that 6 months is quite a long time. I'm unsure how this whole process works and in what order and I presume being to the part of having medical checks requested is a good thing, but does it go pretty quickly from there? Also, it states I have 30 days to get the medical checks turned in...is this going to be enough time? Please advise.

Try calling CIC (888-242-2100) and follow the instructions for citizenship to get someone on the phone. Then ask them if the medical requests are legit (because they did a systems update last week that broke myCIC and the phone attendant).

EDIT: They generally are ready to complete a case (or are nearing the stages to) when they ask for medicals. They grant a 30d window to do them, but you can request extension if you need more time.

In our case, from medical request to landing was about 6 weeks?
