Hi,I requested the medical appointment before the application submission ( called upfront medical) , but they reply below:
Dear applicant,
Thank you for your email.
Please share the IME numbers for all the four applicants, as this number is mandatory for us to have, before we offer you an appointment.
I am going through the up front medical documents? can you explain the process because websites says like below: I am an outlander, do I need to wait for upfront medical request from IRCC or should I go head with approved medical body for tests? your reply will be highly appreciated.
If you and your dependents are outside of Canada
Don’t get your medical exam as soon as you get your invitation to apply.
We will send you a form telling you when and how to get a medical exam.
When you apply online, you must submit a letter of explanation in your document checklist instead of your immigration medical exam (IME). In the letter, you must indicate that the primary applicant or the accompanying dependants of the primary applicant are outside Canada.
If you have undergone a medical exam as part of an application in another category and/or if you have completed an IME in the 12 months before you apply, you can submit a copy of the information printout sheet or the IMM 1017B Upfront Medical Report form in your application.
An IRCC officer may still require a new IME.
Regards,
Aspirant candidate UAE
