H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

In October 25, 2026 IRCC extended our medical exam which was valid until February 2026, and extended its validity for another 12 months, until October 25, 2027.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Does extending medical validity usually happen before a final decision or indicate that an officer is actively working on the application?

I’d appreciate hearing about your experiences and timelines.

That's actually good. For my mother it expires in Oct 2026 (Already passed). But i know they have option to extend if applicant didn't left Canada and there was no risk in previous Medicals
