From the forms it seems for a spousal application I am supposed to do an up-front medical? At the time we started preparing this move the processing time was about 6 months but apparently now London is somewhere over 2 years, while the medical expires in a year.
Is it definitely still the case that I need to get a medical up-front and then presumably another one at some point when it expires (is that when the application is otherwise finished or do I have to renew every year regardless, so potentially 3 or more medicals?).
In case it matters; my wife is Canadian citizen, I am UK citizen, outland PR application starting while I am in UK, will be arriving in Canada in about 3 months, ahead of application being processed.
My guess is the answer is yes I have to do up-front and then again when it expires, but I wanted to see if anyone can confirm or deny before we blow hundreds of pounds on medical #1 ahead of the application form going in.
TIA,
Dai
