For you guys that did the self attestation, did TC still send you a bill for $56?

If you want confirmation that your attestation was received, and also confirmation of the validity (including the validity period - important, as it's not particularly straight forward) request it either in your email to TC with the attestation or in a follow up.

The Pacific Region was quite good about following up quickly; but absolutely dropped the ball on validity periods. Although, they were very quick to catch that I'd not been billed for my previous years medical...

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)?

I have received #1 but no updates to my medical expiry on #2.

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.

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?
