hello I am a nursing student who is going to apply for co-op work permit. I might need a medical examination and I heard that it can be done anywhere in the world with panel physicians. But co-op work permit has to be applied in Canada. I wonder if I can get the medical exam in a different country and apply it there even though co-op is an inside Canada application. I am going back to my country over the summer and want to apply it there via online.

or can I do medical exam before I leave my country and apply co-op upon arrival to Canada?

Thank you.

It does not matter for the medical if the app is "in Canada" or not.
one of the eligibility questions ask "will you be getting a medical exam before submitting your application?" and if I say no, but still say yes for "request for medical exam", would CIC will send me instructions how to do medical exam?

I am planning to apply co-op before I leave Canada so that is it still in Canada, but get medical exam in my country.

Why are you making things more complicated? You need to do the medical upfront.

okay I have some reasons...
first because I am not sure if I can apply co-op outside Canada as it is an inside Canada application
second I have a friend who is also a nursing student applied her study permit extension along with co-op work permit, but she was not requested to do a medical exam. the only difference between her and me is that my friend is applying co-op and study permit extension together and I am only applying co-op. so I would like to know whether I need a medical exam or not.

Hello

Were you able to find a solution? I'm also a nursing student. Do I need coop work permit even for my 1, 2, 3rd year clinical too?

Thank You
