Some checks like medicals, criminality and security have a shelf life. When they expire, or will expire in case of medicals before a decision can be made on your application, or before you can travel to Canada, the check is done again.Hi @legalfalcon
My fear came true, my status changed again from, 'We are reviewing the result of your medical exam' to 'We have requested a medical exam. Check your messages below for details' with an accompanying Medical Examination Instructions letter in the inbox. This becomes my third medical in total with the first being an Upfront Medical and the other two being re-medicals. This is so frustrating, I was expecting an extension at least since I have already gone for a re-medical last year.
My question is, what are the chances of a rejection, if they keep on sending me to re-medical? Bear in mind, my last CBSA notes show Eligibility, Criminality, and Security as PASSED. I just can't bear to think that after spending money on a total of 3 medicals, with two being re-medicals that they would go on to reject my application again when they could have done it earlier without wasting my time and money. What do you think?
PS: I'm also now seriously considering withdrawing my application
In case of medicals, it is the IRCC heath branch that makes a decision on whether to extend or ask for a re-med. If a re-med has been requested, unless you are medically inadmissible, your application cannot be rejected given that you have passed Eligibility, Criminality, and Security.
Also, first check whether you current meds are still valid and for how long. If they are valid for more than 6 months, then you can send a webform and ask IRCC for a clarification.
