I will have to check again but the last time I did check don’t remember seeing any expiring date. I haven’t left since 2016 I came to Canada.
the requirement used to be that a pcc had to be submitted withing 3 months of it issuance. looks like it's not the case anymore. i can't find any specific information regarding pcc's validity. does the request letter say anything about it?

Today I got my owp approval. Such a long way for this owp thing. First I sent it together with my PR app last October 26, 2017 but due to insufficient fund it was sent back on December 2017. I got out of status as my student permit expired last October 30 2017. In addition, my passport is expiring this July 2018. However, I paid the missing amount and sent my app even if I was out of status and Vegreville recieved it last January 8th 2018. Then at that same month, I restored my status. February I got approved in restoration of status and by March I got my new passport. I sent an updated copy of my passport and study permit through webform but the response was quite not right for me. So I sent a mail copy of my passport and study permit. Today, I got approved.

September 26 applicant, just got my medical request and booked it for next week. What does that say about the process? Do they send medical requests once everything else looks good or is it just somewhat random?

In my case, I didn't do the medical exam up front, so when I got my work permit it stated that I wasn't allowed to work with children (like at a school or in child care) or in healthcare services. Since I previously worked in the medical field before moving to Canada, it meant I was still unable to look for a job in my field. My options were to either wait until PR went through, or to go do the medical exam (before the government officially requested it) and then reapply for a work permit and pay the $255 again to try to get a work permit without the restrictions. In my case, it wouldn't have really been worth it to try for another work permit, because it could have taken up to four months plus however long it took to get the medical exam done, and I ended up getting PR right around the time I would have gotten a second work permit.
So my wife had the same issue. Didn't do medical for work permit prior to applying PR. She's a teacher so she couldn't work as a teacher. After applying PR and completing medical upon request from CIC. We drove to the border in Montana and they simply updated her existing visa without restriction. The border had the medical for PR in their system. No extra cost or re-application. It took no more than 5 mins for them to update it. It doesn't take 4-6 weeks before it shows up in the system after you complete your medical. Hope this helps once you're done your medical. Go to the border at a non busy time if you can. She's working as a teacher now, while still awaiting her PR. Hope this helps.
