You are essentially in a long queue for just the Quebec applicants. While Canada has added extra quota for PR for protected people that will only likely speed up processing outside Quebec. Would suggest posting under Quebec immigration where you may get more accurate timelines.
Thanks for the heads-up. Quick question though: my PR file was originally submitted from Quebec, but I permanently relocated to a different province in September 2024 and IRCC updated my intended destination to “outside Quebec” on February 2, 2025 (confirmed again through my current MP).
Since IRCC’s processing-times tool asks “Where in Canada will you be living?” and shows a separate timeline only if you’ll be living in Quebec (because Quebec also has to process part of the application under the Canada–Quebec Accord), does that mean my file should now follow the outside-Quebec stream, or can the original province of application keep someone effectively in the Quebec queue anyway?
Also, for security screening specifically: does the province/destination matter at all, or is it the same federal process regardless (with CBSA/CSIS providing advice and IRCC making the decision)?
If you see "Medical: Passed - Expired" in your GCMS notes, and you're a protected person, you will need to take a new medical exam before the IRCC formally requests it. This is because the medical exam has a validity period (usually 12 months), and when it expires, it must be renewed to continue processing your application.
You can take the medical exam again within Canada as a protected person:
IRCC Process: The IRCC generally requires that medical exams be up-to-date before making a final decision on your case (e.g., permanent residence application) to avoid any unnecessary delays.
To find an IRCC-approved panel physician in Canada, visit the official IRCC website https://secure.cic.gc.ca/PanelPhysicianMedecinDesigne/en/Home
Once you find a panel physician, contact their office to schedule an appointment for the medical exam. Make sure to explain your status as a protected person so they are aware of your specific situation.
• Documents: Bring the following to your medical exam:
o A copy of your travel document (RTD, refugee travel document).
o Proof of your protected status (e.g., a copy of your Refugee Protection status or UCI number).
o Any previous medical records or documents that might be relevant (if requested by the physician).
• After the exam, the physician will send the results to IRCC. Once IRCC receives the updated medical exam, they will process it and update your application status accordingly.
* It usually takes a few weeks for the results to be processed and for IRCC to update your status in their system. You can check your GCMS notes for updates on your medical status or wait for any official communication from IRCC.
