Seeing a message in your GCKey account saying you don't need a medical exam, right before a scheduled medical appointment, is confusing and can make you wonder if you should cancel it.
What group members clarified:- This message reflects your file's current processing state, not a final decision on whether medicals are required. It commonly appears when your Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) is recent and IRCC hasn't yet caught up to reviewing your medical requirement.
- Don't skip a medical exam you've already scheduled based on this message alone. The portal display will simply say the same thing until IRCC has actually reviewed and processed your submitted results.
- The status updates once IRCC reviews it: it will change to something like 'You passed the medical exam' after your results are checked, rather than staying on the generic pre-review message.
Treat this message as 'not yet processed' rather than 'not required,' and keep your scheduled medical appointment unless IRCC explicitly instructs you otherwise.
