Ahh may I ask till when friend? A friend of mine got it even when his medical was valid for quite a few months
From one of my ADR, the officer clearly stated that: "Applicants living outside of Canada require a medical certificate that is valid for at least 6 months" so they need the new medical examninations from us although its valid remains 5 months. However, the good news is we got our case approve right after the latest medical certificates passed.

Wow! That is some great information that you have passsed on dear friend!
So according to my understanding the medicals need to be valid at least for around 6 months before we get our COPR approval right?
Would you please be willing to share your entire timeline?

That’s right
I saw it in other cases as well, so the last medical IRCC ask applicants after processing everything is a clear sign of approval .
Wish everyone good news soon
And wish you all the best in new chapter of your life

Hi,
I can't agree more with @suv2020.
Aleen, Even all of yours are passed but your co-founders are pending =>you shouldn't expect any good news of your own coming soon & please just keep calm since you may have to wait for some months for the processing results of the others...Especially Security check!
I do hope you will see some positive and moving forwards updates and good news in the next coming GCMS notes of your co-founders soonest.
Good luck

This valid may be the standard one that I was requested. However, there are many other cases (that I know) they still can get the CoPR approved with ME in less than 6 months, so it is subject to the decision from IRCC officers and our luck.

Below is my timeline:

PR submission: Nov 2020
AOR: Jan 2023
Medical Request: May 2023 - Apr 2024 - Sep 2024 (3 times)
ADR: Feb 2023 - Apr 2023 - May 2024 (3 times)
Pre-arrival service: end May 2023
CoPR and Visa request: Oct 2024 (Both valid still Sep 2025 that are same expiration date as the last ME)
Landing Canada: Dec 2024
Total: 47 months

Hope it will help and good luck to you !

Hi @Hali-2025 how far into the process are you?
I got the medical request on 10-Dec and submitted it on 15 Dec 2024.
So far I haven't got any updates yet.
Called the IRCC agent & was informed that my file has a BFD (Bring forward day) on the next coming 3rd May 2025.
Just waiting to see any updates on the BFD
All best to you & all other SUV applicants
Cheers
Hali
