Medical examination: to do now/ wait to receive an indication from CIC?

[hamgha]

If our medical exam is scheduled a few days after eAPR submission is due, how to we manage this? As in, what to upload in the "Medical exam" section of the upload page? A letter of explanation saying the exam is scheduled? Proof for the same?

I think u cant submit it without medicals. Why did this happen? You had plenty of time to do it prior

I have heard about cases where the processing was paused due to medicals not being available. Does it mean people are allowed submit a placeholder document such as confirmation of medical exam date or something like that? I'm asking for a friend; his medical exam is one day after the deadline for eAPR submission. He only had 60 days to submit application after ITA and did not get medical test date in time.

i'm not sure. that can work for FBI PCC because it's known to take a long time. I can't confirm about this however.

it's too late to berate you and ask why you didn't do it sonner, so your best bet is to upload the confirmation of medical exam document and once the medical exam is done you raise a CSE and upload the medicals document and a LOE.

Can't he fast track the medicals? Go to a different hospital location approved by CIC and get the medicals done before his E-APR deadline?

That's what I told him to do and hopefully he does it. However since the number of applications surged and they reduced the deadline from 90 days to 60 days after the ITA, apparently it's getting tough to get the medical exam dates, PCCs in time for many people.

Hi Fellow applicants,

I’m an inland EE-SW under PNP applicant and submitted my application with a booking reference as a confirmation of my medical examination (to be done after two weeks). After receiving AOR, my profile indicates “You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.”

Should I still go ahead with my current booking and complete the medical examination (upfront) or wait until CIC send me the relevant form and asks me to do so?

Your advice in this regard is appreciated.

Hi - I am just wondering of the outcome of this, as myself and my partner made the same mistake of submitting our application on Saturday (really early we had 40 days left but we thought we had everything ready :[ ) when our exam was booked for Monday - I thought we could upload confirmation of exam booking too. I have now sent in our e-medical information sheets by raising a CSE but I was just wondering what your experience was? I'm v worried that we have made this error and the effect this may have on our application.
Thank you!
