Same boat; my parents' first medical will expire at the end of this month. We received a new medical request in May and passed it again in June.
You can check my timeline in the signature below for details.
Seen your signature you have to do medical exam twice, I am just curious how much did it cost each exam in CAD. My home country is around $320 /person, so two exams will be $640, for two parents it will be almost $1300!. It's really heartbreaking.

Hi there, I applied on Dec 6, 2021 and similar situation as yours. We completed MEdicals and submitted PCC in Feb 2023 and so far have not heard anything back. I think best is to just wait as I am sure the strike delayed them further!!!!
Same here applied on Oct 2021
Medical & Pcc was done Aug 2022
Nothing happened since then

My MIL file was transferred to London Office, medicals done June 2022, medicals passed September 2022. No updates for almost a year.May need to redo medicals soon as it may have expired or close to expiring.

Hi, I have received a letter to submit the PCC but not additional documents like Adhar, Pan, voter card, relationship documents. Should I raised a web form and submit all without their request?
