So if it takes 7-12 months after transfer, how long will they extend our medical? My file got transferred on 7th July and my medical expired on 27th September. I'm expecting to get my GCMS note this Thursday, lets see what I can find out from it !

According to one applicant, they extended it by 1 year. Hopefully, they would have reviewed your file after the file got transferred!

I personally don't think one should put too much weight on what MPs say, or what the Notes present.

I think it is not gonna be that bad, but they are trying to play it safe, so no more pressure goes on Ottawa.

So let's just relax, and see what the rest of Oct would have for us.

couple of more PRs would change the atmosphere for sure...

:)

What are you going to tell the Visa Officer? To extend the medicals? Get GCMS and hope they extend for a long period of time. Its not in our hands for how long they extend it. I dont see them asking for another medical, there is a reason they are extending medicals! I wouldnt worry about medical expiry. I saw a candidate's medical being extended by another year!

I agree, 11 months is too much time. July transfers have already started getting PPR. I wouldnt be surprised if we see a lot of us getting through before december. Just dont lose hope and be optimistic.. Our time will come :)
