Ok so got my upfront medicals done today, more money down the drain.
Sent the emedical letter to ircc through webform so they can at least move their butt. Now let’s see what happens next.

Any updates on your front??
My medicals expired on 15th Sept so I've been considering on getting an upfront medical also, although everyone i've spoken or checked with has said to wait for a response from IRCC. I submitted a webform on the 21st asking IRCC about submitting an upfront medical or should i wait for their instructions but so far no response. I mean, whats the harm right? I 100% need to redo the medicals before I get the PPR email so why wait?

You mentioned in a separate post (#135) that you got the email the next day, email from whom? IRCC? Has there been any update on your portal showing that your medicals were accepted on xyz date or something?

Thanks and cheers!!

How do you know when your medicals are supposed to be expired?

From what I have observed, there is a lot of movement for outland provincial candidates (OINP etc.) and many have recently received COPRs but FSW-O Express Entry applicants are still lacking progress. Does anyone agree or disagree?

It’s just that Sydney VO which generally processes PNPs among other apps has been issuing PPRs off late. It did the exact same late last year.

Hey sorry for the late reply, yeah I agree with you, as per their own website if you have lived outside Canada for more then 6 months and plan to shift for a long period, you need a new medical. So I just got one, also as you rightly pointed we have to get one eventually so why wait, it will only delay things. First you wait then they tell you, then they ghost you and finally maybe they work.
As for the reply I got, yes it was from IRCC acknowledging that they have received the acknowledgment letter, and it will reflect “as soon as it is uploaded by the panel physician and verified by IRCC”.
Which if you are wondering hasn’t happened yet. I got copies of my tests from my physician the day after so I guess it’s been posted. Now let’s see what happens next. Hopefully it all works out well.

Dude I am a PNP Outland too. No bloody movement in the last 1 year. Perhaps some got lucky or it’s IRCC secret system, that some get PPR’s and the rest have to fill in sue day surveys

Hello ,
Hope you all are doing okay.
I would like to share my timeline with you guys to get your inputs.
Category: EE-FSW-O (India)
Profession : Paediatric Dentist
Travel history: 9 Months in USA,Obtained FBI clearance
PCC India- Done
CRS score:470
ITA: 22 November 2020

After this no update has been given by the IRCC.

And I got married on 18th August 2021.
My husband is already a PR holder.

I noticed that I have to inform ircc about my marital status asap. So I am going to do it anyway.
I would like to know if anyone can enlighten me on if i will have to wait longer than i should once my marital status is updated. Any inputs are really appreciated.
Thank You

Hi I am waiting for COPR under FSW. My file was lodged on December 2019. My biometrics and medicals have been cleared and updated on GIC. Is anyone else experiencing the same situation?

No updates on my profile. I'm thinking of ordering GCMS notes to see if they have any updates regarding my upfront medicals there.
Hey did you get your GCMS notes, or did they update your profile yet. It’s been a month for me and no updates, the medical section still has my old report and approval on it. Gonna write them using webform, but didn’t really expect an answer from them.
