Stayed for more than 2 years - Approved Visitor Record but require a medical exam?

[huntertran]

I have stayed in Canada for more than 2 years now to study for my master. Now I graduated and waiting for my PGWP.
My study permit expired before I could gather all the docs required for the post-grad work permit. So I applied for a Visitor Record to have legal status in Canada wait waiting.

Today (2021-11-25), my Visitor Record was approved, and I thought it was ok. However, on the evening of the same day, I received a message request for Medical Exam. I was confused because:

1. I stayed in Canada for more than 2 years and didn't travel outside of Canada

Is this a mistake from IRCC? What can I do?

Thank you

Edit: typos

You need to submit a medical. Your extension will be contingent on you supplying one. If you don’t do the medical, your extension won’t be valid.

Today, I received a new message from IRCC

I don't see any conditional approval or stuff like that in this letter. Hmm?

You still need to do the medical. If you don't, expect an email from IRCC in a few months where this will start becoming a problem. Get the medical done to avoid problems.
