Doing medical check up in Canada during overstay

[immigration_sos]

Hi there,

I applied for PR through CEC back in November 2013 thinking that I'd wait back home (Malaysia) while my application is being processed. I submitted my application to extend my work permit and my employer also submitted the LMO application. However, there was a serious situation with my employer that resulted in the LMO application not going through. I was so mad, because I was relying on them to extend my stay in Canada legally. At that time, the 90-days grace period was coming to an end and it was too late for me to apply for bridging work permit.

So I have been overstaying in Canada since February of this year. I have not been working since then.

I plan to go back home in November. BUT then Yesterday, I received an email from CIC requesting a medical check up. It has to be done within 60 days. My question is, is it okay if I do medical check up in Canada? Will they check where I had my medical check up done? If so, will it jeopardize my PR application?? Do I need to do this outside Canada?

Another thing is, my application is being processed in Ottawa (I believe), not outside Canada. And I'm still using a Canadian address.

I really wasn't expecting my application to be processed in less than a year.

Any advice/information is appreciated! SOS

When your status expires, you have 90 days to restore or leave. If you could not extend your work permit, you should have at least applied to change your status to visitor but it is too late now. IMO, you should go home. Having a PR application going does not mean that you can't get deported for overstaying and you want to leave before that happens.
