Hi everyone,

I have submitted a refugee claim in December of 2023. I was then issued a work permit valid until January 2026. I want to renew it, so I went to https://onlineservices-servicesenligne.cic.gc.ca/ and started following the steps. When I reach the step asking if I have done a medical exam with an IRCC doctor in the last 12 months and I answer NO, I get this message:

A medical exam is needed for foreign nationals who claim refugee protection in Canada.

Medical exam results must be received before a study or work permit application can be processed.

Based on your answers, you cannot submit an online application at this time. Help - A medical exam is needed for foreign nationals who claim refugee protection in Canada. Medical exam results must be received before a study or work permit application can be processed.


How can I resolve this? Usually they woulf refer me for a medical exam, right? Or do I have to get one done myself and then apply?


Thank you!
