For those that submitted an attestation, did you 1) receive an email acknowledgement from TC, and 2) have an updated medical expiry date on the portal (https://gart.tc.gc.ca/secure/galro-aglie/Index.aspx)?

Yes, the portal still shows Sep 2019 for my cat 1 medical expiry, but they confirmed by email that the attestation is valid to renew my cat 3 medical. That email came 21 days after the email confirming they had received my attestation (in June).

Ok, thank you. Glad I'm not the only one seeing stale expiry dates in the portal.

Re: Self attestation for medical renewal

Re: Self attestation for medical renewal
Can someone tell me if the self attestation covers the ECG requirement too?
If I was due for my ECG to be done at my next renewal but I self attested, do I still have to take an appointment for the ECG?
