Medical Exam

[countrygal]

Hello everyone,

So our medicals expired on October 8th, 2016....is there still a possibility that they will request new meds? I have seen others get the request before their meds have even expired...so I am just curious if it is still possible to get the request. We sent our PGR in August to Mexico City VO and have not heard anything since. Also is it possible to do the medical exam in Canada if they do request for my husband to re do his medicals? Thank you in advance.

They will [most] likely ask for new meds.

But yes - these can be done in Canada (or anywhere, really). As long as it's a CIC-approved doctor they don't care where you do it

They may ask for a new medical or give you an extension if your visa is almost processed. They extended a medical for a lady I knew in Korea who whose application was finished within a month of the medical expiring.

Thank you both for your help! Not sure what's taking them forever to request the medical...haven't heard from them since I send police check 16 weeks ago

They may have already extended it.

They only extend the medical if the whole process takes less than 13 months

The medical can be extended within 3 months of expiry, so up to the 15 month mark.
