Hello, wonderful people.

My wife will apply for a visitor record to extend her stay while waiting for the AOR. I have a question regarding the medical exam. She is from the Philippines, and this is her timeline:
  • September 25, 2022 - Arrived in the Philippines from a 3rd country
  • May 29, 202 - Arrived in Canada on a visit visa
  • September 1, 2023 - Applied for PR
  • Her status will expire around Friday, November 24, 2023.
My questions:
  1. Is the Philippines on the list of countries where someone will need to do an immigration medical exam if they have lived there for six months in the past year?
  2. If we do the exam now, is my wife exempt from doing it again as part of the PR process?
Thank you.
