After reading the actual regulation, I am thoroughly confused.
61.235(c)(i) actually says
the applicant holds a current medical certificate of the class required for the grant of the licence;
However, looking through 61.245 (conduct of flight test), 61.580 (grant of CPL) and 61.415 (medical cert required for *exercising* CPL), I found no mention of the medical cert required for *grant* of a licence.
The phrasing "required for grant of the licence" in 61.235 seems to be quite deliberate. It's used again in 61.1300. And 61.235(c)(iii) uses the phrase "for the exercise of licence" when talking about medical exemptions; you would expect the regulation to use the same phrase in 61.235(c)(i) if the same requirements applies for medical certificates.
