Hi everyone!

Could you please give me some advice if you know or have experience about it? Can I change to do a medical exam with another panel physician if my first panel physician fails to provide me with information sheets with IMM for uploading? He is the only one in my state that is approved by IRCC. Today is the 12th day after my medical exam with him. I completed all exams including physical one at his office, blood test, urine test and xray. He replied my message 4 days ago that he was sick and he would send me results in 2 days. But I did not receive anything or heard from him. I only have 2 weeks left to submit my application but I am worried that this doctor may not send me the sheet in time. My family has already paid him in cash with no receipt ( more than 1000$). We do not want to pay for another exam but still think about a worst case scenario- that is book another appointment with another approved physician that is 7 hr drive from our residence. I look forward to your advice. If he has already created my file with CIC but not finished with final report, will other physician be able to do medical exam for me and provide me with an information sheet and IMM. Many thanks.

Hi

You don't get the results. You should have received the receipt when you did the medical, which is what you submit.

You can contact the relevant RMO to complain about the Panel Physician. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/panel-members-handbook-2013.html#app1.3

If you dont get the information sheet in time.Call CIC and ask what should be done. Also in you ITA submission , if you have proof of any kind that you made a appointment with Doctor , upload that and explain the reason for not attachign the Medical IMM sheet. This should give you time and if the doctor is still not giving the sheet you can complain to CIC.

My best guess is that doctor delay is genuine. Just keep follow up with him and insist on getting te sheet and mention your timeline requirement.
If nothing works complaining to CIC and getting another doctor appointment(you can use this appointment in ITA submission).
Also if you paid using credit card, you can file a claim.

No, I didn’t. As he told me he would send me the information sheet with my photo and IMM number in a few days after the exam. So sad...
Then as I said, contact the RMO. They deal with Panel Physician issues very quickly.

Thank you for your advice. I still try to call and email him everday. Leave voicemail as well. Hopefully I will receive that sheets in time. The problem is that he did not respond which makes me feel worried. Ipaid by cash. Do have email confirming appointment date etc
