They'll advise. I think they have discretion on this, but 99% they'll ask you to retake them. Wait for them to advise.

Oh no!!
Now I realized why on my profile under medicals, it now shows “you do not need medicals” where earlier there was a date it passed April 3...!!

This could mean they extended it (I read on another forum here) if they are giving me PPR.

 

[Happysoul26]

My medicals expired on Sept 11.
They haven’t asked me to get another one done though there was a GU around Sept 25.
Should I be getting it done coz when they approve my file, I’m gonna need it anyway right?
Per my understanding, I can’t travel or even get PPR issued unless I have valid medicals. Isn’t it?

You can't do remedical unless they ask you to do that

Hello all dear forum members:

I really can’t believe it but yes .. surprisingly it is PPR!!!
Though I got a ghost update late night but then it is my 3rd ghost update.. so I was just praying for not any new ADR or something worse but don’t know why deep inside my heart I had a feeling that it is going tonne PPR.

Many many thanks to all the forum members of Jan 2019 n Feb 2019 group for all their love, support n motivation when I needed it the most. I am really really thankful to all you.

Now let’s share my timeline :
AOR 16 Feb 2019
Medicals cleated - 4 Apr
Biometrics request- 5 Apr
Biometrics updated in CIC Account 18 Apr

Then there was a complete long silence. Then

27/08/2019 - emailed Ralph for status
(ELIGIBILITY- RECOMMENDED PASS(eligibility in progress), CRIMINALITY- PASSED & SECURITY- NOT STARTED.
04/09/2019 - called IRCC n got the status update info sharing is also complete plus agent told that file is open. (don’t know what that exactly means). She said Everything seems normal till now.
1st GHOST UPDATE after BIOMETRICS UPDATE W/O EMAIL ON 13/09/2019.
2nd Ghost update 20 or 21/09/2019.
3rd n final Ghost Update - Yesterday night
n Finally PPR today morning.

Sorry forgot to mention that PPR email came in the Spam/Junk in my gmail account. I was checking it regularly from the last around 2 months. So please don’t forget to check your Junk/Spam, you never know.

So I was thinking of updating earlier but then I thought would be better to go n submit the passports first n then in the evening I will update the forum.
So this is like my journey from the start to the finish. So just praying to God to shower PPR mails on all my friends who are waiting. Dear God, bless us all.

I finally got PPR as well! Received e-mail at 5:50AM PST time.

EE - FSW - Prepaid RPRF - VO Sydney
4 February - AOR
10 April - BIL
... long wait, no updates
10 June - Ordered GCMS/CBSA notes and got to know my wife was under Comprehensive SS (Iranian citizen)
20 September - Ghost Update signifying end of security (Great relief here, as I thought other folks on the forum were talking of 1+ year for this step)
... long wait, called 2 times CIC to know what was going on and why they didn't issue PPR, they mentioned I may have to do medicals again (mine would expire end of November)
3 October - Decided to order again GCMS/CBSA notes hoping this would force an offer to issue PPR since I knew everything was completed
4 October - Ready for Visa e-mail received!

Now I don't know if ordering the GCMS/CBSA notes really helped or not, who knows.. Couple of questions related to PPR:
- I only received it on my e-mail, there's no messages on my application on CIC, is that normal?
- If only have to submit photocopies of my passport page, do they need to be in color or B/W is fine?

Hey - congrats. I think it's very normal that you only get an email (though it was the opposite for me).

I would say generally B&W is fine - if they need color, they would state it explicitly (an example that comes to mind is the PCCs).

All the best!

!!Long post alert!!
Hello All,
I have been a silent reader on this forum for a while, I would like to post my journey for anyone who needs assistance.

Single applicant, MS in CS, currently in USA on H1B. CRS 481

Jan 23- Invitation to Apply (ITA)
Feb 08 - Submitted application and recieved Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR)
Mar 11 - sent a request to change address
Mar 13 - Received confirmation of address change
Mar 25- Medicals passed (got notification via email and had to check on the ircc profile for that change
Mar 25 - Recevied biometric request
Apr 1 - Biometric completed
Apr 30 - sent a request via case status inquiry to identify the visa office
May 7 - Recieved response that my VO was Montreal and nothing had started
May 9 - Request first set of GCMS notes via getgcms.com
Jun 10 - Received my first set of gcms notes with the following details
- Criminatily and medical passed
- Eligiblity and background not started.
Jun 17 - Got my passport renewed and submitted a request to update my file with the new passport details. I sent a scanned copy of all pages of the new passport via Case specific inquiry module.
Jun 24 - Recieved confirmation from IRCC that they recieved the new passport and the same had been forwarded to the case officer.

*Silence from IRCC sent a couple of CSE and recieved same response that my eligiblity was under review and that background had not started*

Was getting concerned and tensed as no updates so finally emailed office of goodale

Aug 14 - Emailed Ralph's office with my application details. Recieved response within 3 hours
- Criminality passed.
- Eligibility requires review.
- Security checks have not been initiated. They cannot be expedited and timelines are not available.
- Medicals are valid until Feb 2020.

Got really tense as they were still reviewing my eligiblity. My thought was that it was related to my employment letter not mentioning my job duties in detail so i requested my hr to give me an updated letter with detailed job duties
Aug 14 - Requested new set of GCMS notes.

Aug 20 - submitted new letter with a LOE stating why i am submitting a new letter from my old employer
Aug 27 - got confirmation that new letter has been recieved and passed to case officer

Sep 13 - Got second set of gcms notes which were generated on August 16 which confirmed my doubt about the job letter

Sent a couple of cse's to check if new files were delievered to the case officer and the status. They all were saying that they were reviewing my eligiblity
Sept 30 - First ghost update
Oct 1
- 12:55 pm - got response to latest cse stating that background verifcation were valid and they were still reviewing eligiblity
- 2.02 PM - got an email stating that there was a new message in my ircc account . Checked and it was ppr!

Oct 2 - submitted passport with photgraph via fedex.

Now just waiting to get copr and passport with visa stamp.

Congrats and thanks for sharing such a detailed timeline
