Thanks Toceen for your landing gist. Wish you success and favour in Canada.
Please Toceen how did you book Lufthansa airline and how did you pay for your fare since the air fare is quoted in dollars not Naira?

Lufthansa gives an option to transfer the Naira equivalent to their Nigerian account. I booked mine on their site and transferred the amount quoted in Naira and their rate was about N444 per dollar

Congrats bro!
where did you do your IME medicals? If IOM, did you get a text from them upon their submission to IRCC?

I did mine in IOM Abuja and first medicals they called to tell me they have sent my report to IRCC 3 days later. But the second one was done on the 31st of May, I got an email from them on the 18th of June confirming submission, meanwhile my medicals had already been updated to passed on 4th of June and PPR already issued.

We're in the same shoes. I did upfront medicals Nov 2021, I got a medical request days ago.
An IOM support officer told me I can't do medicals if the existing one hasn't expired. The visa officer probably has their reasons for requesting a new one since my resumption is January 2023. It expires before resumption

To be on a safe side and avoid stories that touch cos of time and what not, I would advice you book another appointment and go for the medicals with the details IRCC generated for you. Same thing happened to me, I submitted in Feb, did upfront medical on the 26th of April. By 26th of May I got medical request. Without wasting time I booked a new medicals with the new details, now my medicals have been updated to pass. So avoid had I known, and go. Just my advise
