I've received my approval already and now waiting to receive my passport. My medical exam will expire on Dec18, will it be okay to arrive to Canada with an expired medical exam? or should it still be valid?
Should medical exam be valid upon arrival?

You only need a valid study permit and visa to enter Canada. Doesn't matter if your medicals expire before you go there.
Okay,I'm extremely sorry for the wrong info. You actually do need a medical while entering Canada, which can be verified here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/medical-exams/requirements-temporary-residents.html#long
I had the same question, my medicals will expire on Dec 23, and i’m yet to receive the ppr. So i’m confused shall i retake the medical exam or not! Even if I receive the ppr before medicals expire, i will have to retake it right? For travelling. And i then have to update it to ircc about this new exam i took right?
I also asked this to ircc, but i didnt receive any reply. i want to know too how long itll take before my results will be updated if i repeat it again
No still waiting for decision on my visa. To be on the safe side you should contact IRCC and verify the same at the earliest. Even better would be to retake your medical if you're planning to travel soon.
No one's dreaming bro. Read.

The below mentioned is an excerpt from cic's website. I may be wrong but that's what I deduced from what's written.
Q) How long your medical results are good for?
A) Your medical exam results are good for 12 months only.
If you don’t come to Canada as a visitor, student or worker within that time, you may need to do another exam.
Yes, this will likely not cause an issue. That doesn't mean it cannot since that's what they've stated on their website. That's why I also said please confirm it with IRCC. Also when we are spending money like water for the whole process, spending a few more bucks won't hurt if it keeps you out of last-minute hassles. No need to get cranky, we are all here to discuss and clear our doubts.
That “may” instead of “must” indicates that it might be only for specific cases. Anyway from my personal experience, they don’t ask for your medical reports at the PoE.
