Wowwww another August case who recieved their medical call congratzzz just wait and don't take tension u will hear good news v. Soon In Sha Allah
My file also transfer in August but still waiting no response from LVO
Hey Mrs Sana, Is Medical request a sign that ur file will b given attention sooon..
Coz I may not think so, In my humble view, medical request is sent as the first medical expire regardless if ur file is awaiting review or under review...

Please correct me if I am wrong ,

The chances are pretty slim, but you have a good case as you have a permanent Govt job and income, you just have to show that you would return to your job in a month or two show them the leave letter, appointment letter, your previous travels outside Pakistan to noticeable countries are needed, show you have property or something in Pakistan, if there isn't any ask your parents or someone to add you in the the docs of their house (that really helps trust me ), and some other docs and you are good to go. But wait for your sponsorship approval first.

It's a sign that a VO is assigned to your file and you file have atleast landed in someone hands from that big pile of files waiting to be looked. Also for people like Sana and me as we are in a same boat any correspondence from LVO is a blessing :)

Your case is almost near completion MASHA ALLAH just fullfill the requirements they asked and I would say you would get PPR in a month. Even if you have send it to them already and they are asking for something just send it to them again (no questions asked).

What is your timeline btw.?

It doesn't matter if they didn't asked for it they might have extended it for you. Which is a good sign for you as they will be completing your application really soon.

I got the same email from London Visa office on feb 26 and have replied to there email since then i heard nothing from them. You got any reply after answering their question bro?
Same here, got the mail on Jan 28, 2015.
I've googled what does the medical extension means in our cases, apparently if the visa officer is sure about everything and the only thing stopping him from giving a visa is the expiration of medical than he can extend medical on his own for a period of 12 months i.e medical without an actual re-medical is extended upto an year.

By the looks of it, it should be the final stage.. but havent heard from them after 28th Jan 2015.

For all the people who wants to know about medical extension done by VO. Please go through the below link

cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob423.asp

Reassessment of a medical file for the issuance of a new medical certificate
This Operational Bulletin has expired.

Summary

Effective June 1st, 2012, officers can request that an applicant’s medical file be reassessed by a Medical Officer (MOF) or a Health Branch (HB) delegated staff for the issuance of a new medical certificate. The process applies to cases where a final decision of an officer is pending only due to the expiration of a medical certificate or when the validity of the medical certificate is about to expire and the applicant is unable to land before it expires. This process is limited to applicants who had a routine immigration medical examination (IME) done by a panel physician within the last 15 months in or outside Canada. The new medical certificate issued will be valid for 12 months.

Issue

This Operational Bulletin aims to standardize the reassessment of a medical file for the issuance of a new medical certificate to ensure alignment with the legislation while fulfilling departmental operational needs. This procedure is limited to situations where the final decision of an officer is pending due only to the expiration of a medical certificate. If anything else is pending, the officer should not use this procedure.

Hope the above information is helpful.

Also note, that medical extension is based on Visa Officer's discretion.
