Hi,
My husband and I submitted our application for permanent residency through the Express Entry program on october 1st, 2025. I was pregnant then. In the meantime, my son was born in Feb and we had to add him to the application. We didn't hear back from the administration until September 2026. They recently requested that we submit additional information for my son, which is totally normal. We knew that we would have to take the baby for a medical exam. What we didn't expect was to go back for a medical exam for the two of us. We already completed the medical exam in May 2025 for the application we submitted in October. Why are they asking us to take the medical exam for the 2nd time? It doesn't make sense. This procedure takes time, and it's not cheap either. We are starting to lose patience... Even if we go back for a 2nd medical check, can they request that we take language tests for a 2nd time too? I mean, the medical results from last year may have expired but we are not responsible for that. If they take ages to process applications, why do we have to pay for it again? Any advice on the matter would be highly appreciated, since we can't talk to anyone directly. Here's another frustration (not being able to reach these people)....
