I got my AIP for my spouse visa application back in September, however my medical has just run out (last week) do I wait to here from them (CIC Canada) or do I just go ahead and redo my medical??? Also the photos are they visa size or passport size?

thank you.
 
I believe CIC send you a request form to re do medicals with a medical form to take with you , mine also need renewing but CIC sent me the form 2 weeks ago so going to wait till after christmas to re do them.

The photos are a specific size, however , I used passport ones and nothing was said ...but dont take my advise on this , go get them done properly .
 
You must wait for CIC to send you a new request. You can risk doing it on your own but you are guarantee a 98% chance of losing money and having to redo it when CIC sends their request.
 
Wait until CIC request a new medical. As for the pictures, the size is specified on the picture application form. If you deviate from this size it can hold up the application and PR card. No idea why though... :D
 
Don't redo your medicals unless CIC ask you to. Because some times actually most of the times CIC will extend the validity of your medicals (this is only true for applicants inside Canada.)

One time Call center agent told me that Before asking for re-doing it, CIC asks Ottawa Regional Center for the Possibility of extension. Only after that they will ask for a re-medical.
 
Thank you so much for your replies, I was not looking forward to spending close to $300 a week before christmas.
 
Who gave me negative rating here on this post :(

This is so true, my meds were requested for an additional 1 year extension on top of the 1 year passed...couldnt believe it when my IO told me :D Still, not going to re do till after christmas lol got prezzys to buy ;)

That is where the problem is, you are calling it "Karma", on this site is is known as "ratings" - which means nothing.
Anyway if you believe in "Karma", you must also believe if some one gives you -ve without reason, they are impacting their own karma not yours :)

Like I said, ignore it.
 
Thanks Baloo for your support :D
 
Well, the software calls it a "Karma action," I think that's what was referred to. :)
