I would suggest you not to go for medicals as of now because my consultant told me that i may get a request to re-take medicals because of this new policy..so pls check with your agent before going for upfront medicals
Don't trust consultants, they don't know anything. In this forum, we even caution against RCICs(consultants are very ill-informed compared to RCICs) as they've been known to make the same mistakes too. I've no opinion about upfront medicals here, but consultants are generally a big no (unless they are a Canadian lawyer).
