I applied on July 12th for my PGWP. Has anyone been required to take medicals? I didn't give my medicals upfront and was hoping to get a timeline estimate for an application that requires medicals
I think that’s uncommon on a PGWP application. particularly if you been living in Canada for a while.
I have never been requested to provide Medical exam.

IRCC can ask for medicals if you are working in some sectors,



Examples of such jobs are:

  1. Jobs that bring you into close contact with people, such as
    • workers in health-care settings
    • clinical laboratory workers
    • patient attendants in nursing and geriatric homes
    • medical students admitted to Canada to attend university
    • medical electives and physicians on short-term locums
    • workers in primary or secondary school settings, or workers in child-care settings
    • domestics
    • workers who give in-home care to children, the elderly and the disabled
    • day nursery employees and
    • other similar jobs

Dear All, I approved yesterday, but did not receive any sort of email or correspondence letter in my GC key login. How much time does it take to get approval letter? also, how many days physical copy takes to reach mailbox?
