why cic requires medical check again after DM status?

[luvbrit]

This is my time line for perminant residence.

We received your application for permanent residence on August 29, 2011.

We started processing your application on July 16, 2012.

Medical results have been received.

A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.


I have this decision made status since last March. It has been almost a year after the status changed to DM. Recently, I received a letter from local vancouver office asking me to redo medical checkup, because my previous one was expired... My question is why do I need to redo it since decision has already been made?

THANK YOU

I'm sorry this is less of an answer and more of a series of dumbfounded questions. Are you saying you don't have your COPR yet? Was yours an inland application? I'm confused as to why you're getting a letter from Vancouver office and why you would go almost a year with DM and not ask what's going on

I am also confused about your timeline, but it is normal be asked to re-do your medical exam. You can only land in Canada while your medical is still valid. Assuming your medical expired in 2012 (one year after you did it in 2011), then you need a new one which will be valid for one year again and will give you enough time to land as PR.

I applied inland. I called cic , they said Vancouver office will contact me, there is nothing I can do...just wait.

I dont have confirmation of permanent residence, just decision made...I thought decision made means they made a decision. Why do I have to redo medical? ?

Thank you.

You have had a decision made for almost a full year and you've not contacted them at all to find out why you don't have a landing date yet? That would be why you have to have another medical. You haven't physically landed in Canada yet and in order for them to issue you a COPR and give you a landing date, you MUST have a valid medical. That is why you have to redo your medical.

You need to redo medical as soon as possible, because the Vancouver office asked to do it. Inland applicants have to go to the local office to have a landing interview after DM. Then you will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence at the landing interview.

Medical exams are valid for 1 year. Yours expired. The Vancouver office needs your valid medical exams for landing, before they send you a letter about the landing interview.
