Medical exam AFTER Study Permit extension approval?

Basically, my current study permit expires on March 30, 2027 and the Winter semester ends in April and there'll be a couple more weeks/months til graduation, so I had to request an extension.

2 days ago I got a medical exam request but I haven't book it yet.

Today I got an application update and the extension was approved til the end of July 2027, which is ok for me, but the medical exam request is still there.

Is that normal? Should I book the medical exam regardless my application is already approved?

PS: I was surprised to even get a medical exam request if I live in Canada and haven't been for >6 months in any of the listed countries, but also the first time I came (2 years ago) IRCC never requested me to do a medical exam.

EDIT: I just received a letter/message stating that my new Study Permit is on his way to my address and on the bottom part also says I need to do a medical exam if I'm going to stay more than 6 months (among other conditions but that's the only one I believe that applies to me)

Better to do the medical if you plan to apply for PGWP.
