Hello David,

Medicals have to be valid for 6 months after application Submission in EE.
I believe you can get it done from a different physician registered under EE.
And you should tell the doc that it is for express entry P.R.

Cheers!

Its certainly not against the law. In fact, CIC mandates that medicals be not older than 6 months at the time of post ITA submission. If you submit older medicals, you risk a refusal on those grounds regardless of what your doctor thinks.

Find another clinic nearby. And if they still give you a hard time, show them the following CIC page.

Medicals ---> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

Purpose

To assess the health of the applicant and their family members

Document requirements

The medical examination confirmation is required upfront at the time of application and must be valid for a minimum of six months.
The applicant must include the immigration medical examination (IME) number in their e-APR.
The applicant must provide a copy of either the information printout sheet or the Upfront Medical Report form [IMM 1017B], whichever the panel physician provides upon completion of the medical examination.
Exceptions are made only in rare circumstances that are outside of the client’s control (e.g., cancellation of appointment by panel physician at last minute without time to reschedule).

In exceptional circumstances, CIC may accept proof that a medical appointment is scheduled; or a letter of explanation of best efforts. However, these are not a guarantee of acceptance.

Individuals who must submit this documentation

The principal applicant
Their spouse or common-law partner
Their dependent children, including non-accompanying

Student visa and pr are not the same. I would do the medical again as you are risking refusal on the basis that medical was done for temporary residence only.. talking from experiance
