    If that is correct re: the landing date corresponding to the re-medical 12 month period it is also great news! This means we have time to get get everything arranged, etc. I was thinking we would have a few weeks or something to do the landing. Again, if this is correct it is an advantage to...

    "2. How long can I wait to land in Canada after my Canada Immigration Visa is issued? You must land in Canada before the expiry date, which appears on your Canada Immigration Visa. Usually, the expiry date is one year from the time medical examinations were completed. As this is not always...

    Tip: be sure to have your spouse bring his or her passport when getting the medical in Korea. My wife called Severance Hospital and asked what she had to bring in advance. They did't mention the passport so it caused a big waste of time on that day. Regardless, the medical process went ok.

    What does this mean: Today a DHL courier showed up at the door (i just had my shoes on to go out for the day) with fairly big envelope. It is from Manila.

    We received the re-medical request by email a few weeks ago. Completed it right away. It's been 13 months so the first one expired after 12 months. I don't know if this is the final step or what.

    Exactly! We are supposed to send a complete application. That's why we sent the first medical at the beginning. Obviously it should be at the end of the process but didn't want to send an incomplete application. It's an expensive process as it is. People should not have to pay for double...

    Yea, the first medical expired 2 weeks ago meaning we have passed the 1 year in-process mark! I'm sure I saw posts somewhere about people getting extensions for the first medical vs a new medical. Well, this means my wife getting a day off work, medical fees, and a trip to Seoul AGAIN! What racket!
