Yup I'm expecting that request anytime soon.
 
My medical expires in about 5 weeks - I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and ask.

Hi there,
have a look here : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/medic/assess/cert.asp
Let us know what Call Center Agent said about your medicals, thanks.

Hi there, Did U call Call center?what they said?

I tried 3 times and every single time I got "due to high volume of calls we cannot transfer you to an agent.." I'll keep trying.
 
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
