What is the duration of the certificates or tests you do for EE?

- IELTS
- Medical tests
- Police certificates
- Credential assessments (bachelor degree)
- Proof of financial support

Do they have to be still valid at the time you send them all (after ITA) or still valid at the time they will look at them?

Best regards

-2 years
-1 year
-I believe it is one year, but I am not sure on this
-5 years for this one
-This needs to be updated to the latest month as of whenever your application and supporting documents are submitted

Once you receive your PPR, you don't need to get fresh ones done for any of these, except for, I believe, your medical checks, if they are more than a year old, and your financial statements, which must always be current.

This thing about PPR confused me a bit... PPR is when they ask for your passport, so it means you are done

I meant if these certificates must be still valid at the time I submit my complete application of at the time they review it

They must all be valid at the time you submit your application. However, as OP said, your medicals may need redone as they must be valid at the time of 'landing' and since they are only valid for a year, they may have expired by the time they do a PPR.

Just to add to what's already been said:

Medicals are indeed valid for 12 months, but they must still be valid for 6 months by the time you apply after ITA.

So in the end what happens if they are not?

Will they ask you to repeat them when they process and approve the rest of your application?
If they would consider everything void, then you need to re-do them before submitting and the real / effective validity time of the tests is lower

I don't know, but I wouldn't count on them letting you redo the Medicals. In all other cases (e.g. Expired PCCs, IELTS, etc) they just reject the application, so I imagine it will be the same for Medicals. So it's better to only apply with Medicals that are still valid for more than 6 months.

The effective validity of Medicals is 6 months for ITA, and 1 year for time to land.
