Hello there,
I am applying for PGWP and need to submit a proof of medical exam in my online application. I did the exam for my PR application 2 months ago and my PR is in progress. I am not sure because I have done the IRCC medical exam in the past 12 months (for my PR), CIC required another medical exam for my PGWP. My question is that if I need to do the medical exam again or if I can submit a copy of my previous exam as a proof?
Thank you.

Yes, a proof of medical exam is required in my online application. I guess that was because I answered yes in the question: "Have you had a medical exam performed by an IRCC authorized panel physician (doctor) within the last 12 months?". I only stay in Canada over the past 5 years.

You don't need to do another medical. Just submit a copy of the exam you already had done.

Hi, i had my medical done on 10th may and applied for my study permit on 15th may- which has been accepted! i will be reaching canada on 1st july and will need to apply for a co-op permit. i dont have the medical form that the hospital provided. but i do have a receipt of the exam performed. will this be sufficient as proof of medical exam or do i need to get another medical test?

Hello
I have a question
Do you remember if they updated the status of your medical exam while still waiting for your pgwp? I mean they said , you have passed The medical exam ,in your account, or you just received your pgwp directly without any updates?
thanks!
