Medical passed today. Requested to submit a police certificate too. Anyone with the same request from PHL? How long would the next update happen?

Also, my SOWP medical has no update too. Hope it will follow soon.

I was also asked to submit a PCC. I have applied for the PCC, still waiting for it. See my details below:

PPR: PENDING

***********
I have applied for my PCC and should get it next week. I emailed IRCC to inquire why I was being requested for PCC as it wasn't part of the checklist on my application form. I got this response the next day:


Good day Client,

Further documentation is requested from the applicant, for review. The officer would like to make a final decision but is awaiting on the Police certificate.

Thank you

Kind regards

Hi All,
I submitted my application on 8th March and updated the Biometrics on 16th.
I noticed later that my Loan documents were not uploaded and sent a webform - I got an email today saying they will open my application account and let me upload the documents in the next 5 days. This really gave me a panic attack (missing documents part), so I am trying to cover all bases with this upload documents opportunity.
Does it make sense to get my medical done in the meantime or should I wait for them to request it?
Anyone who got their medical exam after submitting but before the IRCC requested it?
Any insights would be helpful.

Thanks,
Isha.

I submitted our applications on Feb 2nd, then did medicals 4th Feb. I then sent webforms attaching the e-medical documents (with the UMI number) provided to me by the clinic to IRCC. By 11th February, my kids' medicals have been linked and passed. Mine passed on 26th Feb.

Awesome. Thanks for that. I'm going to get this done as well if that's the case. Anyhow my account will let me upload documents - but the doctor did mention they will send the medical report directly to the embassy - this is for India.

Yo so we can do the medical exam without the letter from IRCC after submitting the application? I was actually waiting for that.

Yes they send the results directly to IRCC but they will give you a document (an invoice of sorts) with your UMI number on it. That's the number IRCC will use to associate your result with your application.

Got it, thank you. I'll keep posting if there's any progress. Good luck to you.

If you did not include the upfront medical, then it's better now to wait for the medical request rather than sending medical via webform.

So, to receive a medical request these days about 30 days - would it not help to get it done right now and skip that step?

They will request it and that will be a positive sign, you sending it won't make any difference.

Fair Enough.
QQ - Have they gone through everything else before they ask for medical or is it a monotonous step like Biometrics?

If they are taking the hassle to request for medical then they have gone through the profile and think one can get it, otherwise they can simply refuse visa without requesting for medical.

I wasn't sure too and that's when I posted here. Looks like it worked for @wonderbly. Not sure if it's worth a shot but my agent said one can do it - doesn't particularly speed up the process but doesn't hinder it either.

I'm probably wrong, but I wouldn't advice uploading documents other than the documents you told them were missing in the webform. They opened your application account so that you upload the loan documents so if you upload other than that they may think that you were not honest in the webform about the documents that were missing. I'm just sharing the first (unverified) thought that came to my mind, so I might be completely wrong about this.
By the way how do you send a webform?
