Upfront medical exam for CEC

[Ashish_Saini]

Hello all,

I have applied under CEC stream and waiting to get the ITA. I just want to ask whether do i need to do medical exam again (if yes, should i wait to get the ITA or do it while in the pool. my CRS is 487) or i can use the old one which i did when i applied for study permit?

As per link below, i don't think i need it but just want to make sure.

Yes. Need to take upfront medical exam for CEC. The one taken while applying for study permit is valid only for 6 months. Better to take the medical exam close to a date when you are about to get ITA (or before document submission).

But what about what is written in the link i attached? Can you please clarify that?

I'm not sure about that. But as far as I know, we need to.

Yeah that's why i am confused a bit. It clearly states that "If you have already completed an IME as part of a previous application (for example, to work or study), you may not need to complete another one when you apply for permanent residence."
