URGENT!!! - Confusion about email from IRCC

[sam.devilz19]

Hello guys,

I received the following email from IRCC few minutes back. I hold a valid Canadian study permit and I am able to check the counterfoil status in my GCKey to be valid. I had my flights booked for an indirect route next week and I am paranoid and anxious after receiving this email. From what I read on the forum (@wonderbly) about similar situations, it shouldn't cause any issues/problem if I were able to travel to Canada before the expiry date which is still about two months from today.

However, I would appreciate your comments on whether I should be able to travel or this will require me to do a re-medical?

Dear Client,

You are receiving this email because our records at Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) indicate that:

you have been approved for a study or work permit;
you have a valid temporary resident visa (visitor visa) or an electronic travel authorization (eTA), and a letter of introduction/port of entry letter, and
your immigration medical examination results will expire on September 17, 2021.
To travel to and enter Canada, you must have valid immigration medical examination results if:

you come from a designated country/territory AND plan to stay in Canada for more than 6 months or
you plan on studying or working in health care, child or elder care, or primary or secondary education setting.
Only panel physicians can complete medical examinations and they are responsible for sending us your results. You will not be able to enter Canada unless you have valid immigration medical examination results. For your records, please request a printout of proof of your examination from the panel physician.

If you are traveling with family members who also require a medical exam, please make sure their medical exams are also valid.

To protect Canadians from COVID-19, travel restrictions are in place for individuals travelling to Canada. Even if you have a valid temporary resident visa or eTA, you may not be able to travel to Canada at this time. As the COVID-19 situation changes, we regularly update our website. To find the latest information before you make travel plans, and again before departing for Canada, to avoid being denied boarding or entry in Canada, please consult:

if you are travelling after ur medical expiry you need to redo your medicals, I imagine this is their sort of warning to let you know that your medicals on file are near expiry

Thanks for responding. I am assuming the same. At least this what I was able to anticipate from the information present on: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare-arrival.html

I have my flight bookings in place for coming week, so I should have no issues in terms of travelling. I'm concerned about whether this email be causing any issues at the time of boarding/immigration.

I understand, paranoia is at all time high especially considering the situation. But this should not be a problem, a document is either expired or its not. There is no gray area for it

Yes, the stress level is at its peak especially after investing a year just to be able to travel and having spent hard earned savings. So, are you saying this is not a re-medical request but just an intimation that it expires soon? In that case, if I were able to travel next week, this shouldn't be a problem right?

Thanks for your response. However, the email subject says "Renew your immigration medical examination results", wouldn't that be a problem in terms of immigration?
