I finally got through to them and:
* all medicals expire after 12 months - regardless if they are upfront or not
* if your medicals expire before the decision is made you may be asked to do them again - this is purely at the discretion of the agent reviewing the file
* if you have left Canada since you've done your medicals or applied for PR from outside Canada it's more likely for you to be asked to do medicals again
