Well that is what I would do in this situation

No wasn't aimed at your post. Just a general comment - CHC London don't like to be contacted, the OP has emailed them 3 or 4 times in the past with no reply, what does that tell you.....

In this case maybe the med request letter has been lost in the post, and contact is necessary. I would try sending a letter or fax. CHC and email don't seem to mix... Other option is to call the immigration line as OP is within Canada - might grease the wheels a little if you get someone helpful....

I have read that some people have had success with leaving a message on the answering service and if they judge it to be worthy of response then they will do so...I don't believe it would do any harm to trya and leave a message or send a fax to highlight the fact that the medical request has not been received..At least they would look into the file and if something has gone missing it would trigger a reaction....if they look into it and determine there isn't a problem and don't respond then at least that would give me some confidence that it hasn't gone missing...Well thats my thinking anyway..
I believe the contact number will be on the website but there are a load of menus to go through to leave a message...
Dieseltank - Please let us know how you get on...Wishing you luck and hoping that you get your med request soon
All the best
Tim

Below is a link to the contact details for the visa office in London, should you wish to do so:

I'll send another email to see if we hear anything back this time. After receiving our 90 day letter in Jan, we sent all our updated info in Feb as we had to wait for new police checks. Saying that from the trackitt forum it seems that we are still looking like we are well behind the rest of the people on there (I appreciate the Trackitt is only a representation of those who have entered their info, but its still our only guide)

I will also look for the tread with the contact number on - please let me know if you know the best to hunt for it would be.

Thanks
Hi there,

We're on the same timeline as you and we had our meds request at the end of July so I guess if I were in your shoes I would have emailed CHC, never know it may have got lost in the post - its happened to a few people on the forum...
All the best!

thanks for everyones advice, and the link.

To contact, or not to contact seems to be running theme in lots of the threads. Its the perfect thing for CHC to spread the idea that contacting them will be detrimental to your application, a genius and effective way to cut their emails over night.

I will try and email again (or will 5 emails be an automatic decline on their naughty email scale) but I may take up Rob 999's idea of contact the immigration hot-line here in Canada... you never know they might be able to get some information for me.

I've always found calling that number here in Canada quite good, they seem quite helpful and courteous. Hopefully, you'll have (or have had) a similar experience.
