They are not even releasing PPR to inland applicants. I am inland applicant and waiting since Jan 2020. All passed but final decision pending. Medicals expired on 03 Jan 2021 but no sign of extension or re-medicals yet. Ottawa is not following FIFO system, I think they are just randomly picking files and working on them. I came to know that more you call or raise web forms more likely your file will be processed early. It’s damn frustrating.
Almost on same page. AOR 28th Jan Inland. Medicals expired on 25th Jan still no sign of extension or re-medicals. I have raised webforms 5-6 times and called them but still no update.
 
I got an MR, did the health check last week, and now my online page shows "You've passed your medical test".
Strangely enough, though, the timeline is no longer there - previously it said June 21.
( AR: Nov '19).
Why is my timeline missing? Is it expected?
 
Finally got PPR!

Hey @legalfalcon (or anyone else who may be able to answer this - please do)

I'm FSW Outland from Pakistan. AOR was Jan 27, 2020.
VO - Ottawa

My GCMS notes show the following:
Eligibility: Passed
Security:
Criminality: Passed
Medical: Passed - Expired
Info Sharing: Complete

The last updated note (from 2020/05/21) says 'Ready for Approval'

I completed my upfront medical exam on 11 June, 2019 (before my AOR).

My IRCC profile currently has the following status with regards to my medical results:
  • You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.
I have the following two queries:
1. As per the IRCC guidelines, medical results are supposed to be valid for one year. Is this one year validity period counted from the date of the actual medical examination (11 June, 2019 ) or the date that it was uploaded on the portal (with the AOR Jan 27, 2020, in my case)?

2. If they are counted from the date of the actual medical exam, then it is my understanding that they cannot be extended beyond 6 months (which time period has already passed in my case). Hence, I will inevitably have to retake medicals before I can travel to Canada.
If this is true, I would want to expedite that process and preemptively retake medical exams before IRCC gets around to requesting me for one. Will that be possible?

@legalfalcon : why the security here is blank, but application is in ready for approval state?
 
Hello everyone!

I, finally, have some progress to share with you guys.
I received my latest batch of GCMS notes today. I ordered them because I wanted to confirm what an IRCC agent told me on the phone two months ago regarding the approval of my application on the 1st of October 2020.

My AoR date is Jan 20, I'm FSW-O and my VO is CPC Ottawa (sadly), I still haven't received PPR or any communcation of that kind from IRCC. I just call them from time to time or request GCMS notes to check on the progress of my application.

As per the notes, I found out that while in the assesments section it does say "FINAL: APPROVED", and that the file was indeed approved on the 1st of October, the medicals however, due to expiry Jan 3rd 2021, weren't extended. As such counterfoil says "Valid To: 2021/01/01.

Does it mean that my COPR is considered expired?
Can someone shed a light on this matter pretty please? Any recommendation on what should I do pro-actively on my end?

Hi, My file has been approved on the middle of July. I came to know they are going to communicate for PPR but the timeline is uncertain.

Regarding the Medical: they usually extend the medical. and your COPR expiry date is the medical expiry date. If they don't extend the medical expiry date then they will ask you to do remedical.
