Hi all,
After medical has expired, where to check if visa is still valid or invalid? And once re-medical is done, do we get update in GC-key about updated status?

Thanks

There is a tab of Counterfoil in your GCkey and the details will be there that when they issue the document, its validity, country of issue etc.

Check in your e-medical sheet provided by the hospital when you gave your medical exam. On that sheet everything is written.
I have a visa, my medical is already expired last week, the status in gckey is showing still showing valid, can I travel?

I have my re-medical this week, can I immediately travel after that or will there be update in my GCkey after re-medical being updated to my profile

That happened with a few people ( @singlarun too) and you can still travel. But I can't say for sure at the border where they might see that your medical is expired and they may give you only 6 months of study permit which you'll have to extend if your studies are for longer than 6 months from the date of entry.

Because as per the rules, a person needs to hold a valid medical result to enter a country if residing for more than 6 months.
