Dear Happy face. Are u aware that penal physian do upfront medical only on receipt of IME nbr in absence of which my father could not got medical exan even for super visa. In case you hv not received medical form IMM 1017E then it would be better to call cic & get IME Further you may discuss my point with Soon I hope or Jeleni ji they are seasoned & well versed with immigration work.
Upfront medical for supervisa is possible and even cic encourages it as optional. My parents called max hospital in Delhi and people there were well aware of the upfront medical process for supervisa or PR.

Besides, I found the following on cic website. Everybody should take a look as it outlines the process for panel physicians.

Source:- http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/dmp-handbook/#chap4.3.2


4.3.2 Upfront Medical (IMM 1017B UPFRONT)

UFM examinations are performed when clients report to a panel physician for their IME before a visa application has been submitted to CIC. Clients who are eligible for UFM examinations will not have a Medical Report (IMM 1017) issued by CIC nor will they have an existing file in the eMedical system.

Panel physicians should not refuse to examine these clients.

Panel physicians must ensure that they provide the client with the proof of having completed their upfront medical examination. For eMedical, the proof is the “Information Sheet” letter that they will print. For paper-based upfront medicals, it is the top page of the IMM 1017B UPFRONT form. Clients must include this proof when submitting their visa application.

Since an IME is valid for 12 months, panel physicians should remind clients to submit their visa application along with the proof of having completed their upfront medical examination well before the expiration of the 12 months; otherwise, the client may have to undergo a second IME.

eMedical-enabled Panel Clinics

Panel physicians must first search eMedical for the client by their name and identity document number (e.g., passport number) to confirm that the client does not already exist in the system.
If the client does not exist in eMedical, click “create case.”
Enter the Client personal details (mandatory fields include Title, Family name, Gender, Date of birth and Country of birth).
Enter the Identity Document Details. Clinic staff will check identity with the approved identification document. (Note: a live photo of the client must be taken and uploaded to eMedical at a later step during the IME.)
Enter the Client’s Preferred Language.
In the “Proposed Visa Application Details” section, select the appropriate upfront category from the drop down list (student, worker, visitor or family EDE). Note: For refugee claimants in Canada, select the category family EDE, and scan and attach the document provided by the client.
Click “Create.”
Proceed to upload and attach client photograph.
Complete Identity Confirmation.
An “Information Sheet” letter will be system generated and must be printed and given to the client for submission to CIC along with the visa application.
Paper-based Panel Clinics

Panel physicians will use IMM 1017B UPFRONT paper forms, which have been provided to them and that are pre- populated with a UMI# and a barcode (see sample form in Appendix III).
Clinic staff will check identity with a valid government-issued ID.
Clinic staff must attach a client photo (provided by the client) to the form.
Clinic staff must select the immigration category by checking the appropriate box (student, worker, visitor, family EDE or refugee claimant (in Canada only)).
Page 1 of the IMM 1017B UPFRONT form “Copy to Client” must be completed and provided to the client for submission to CIC along with the visa application.
Page 2 of the IMM 1017B UPFRONT form “Copy to Health Branch” must be completed and submitted to the RMO along with all other IME forms (e.g., IMM 5419, chest x-rays, lab results, etc.).
Note: It is very important to ensure the correct page goes to the client and the correct page goes to your RMO.
Page 1 — Client
Page 2 — RMO

hi all. My dad just received an email from VO regarding additional documents required an hour ago.

Other than PC which was specifically mentioned, he was also asked to submit Apendix A with photo specs. I'm just confused... If appendix A is actually a PPR? And the photo specs don't say any number of photos required just the size and other specs. Also, FYI, the medical was only completed on April 30, that's why all the more I'm not sure if this is PPR already.

Here's an excerpt of the request for appendix A:
· Fully Completed Appendix A (attached) for you and each of your family members, whether accompanying you to Canada or not. Passport details are not required for any family member who is not accompanying you to Canada. (Each person should complete his/her own form.)

Here's the appendix A, sorry I can't attach it properly, it's supposed to be in tabulation form. Anyone has idea if this is PPR? For those who receive PPR, is this similar? Thanks.


Appendix A
Please complete the following information for YOU AND ALL YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, whether accompanying or not.
We do not need the passports nor passport numbers of non-accompanying family members. Please write legibly.

I think he is asking Schedule A and not Apendex A.
I was also asked to submit updated Schedule A for both my mom and dad. Please double check.

Did they specifically ask for passsport too? If yes, then that should be PPR. The Appendix A form is attached to your email and should be filled out and normally asked during passport request. In fact, it says at the bottom that you can put the address where your passport can be returned.

I tried to add my Medical request to the spreadsheet, but couldn't. Not sure if it's protected now...?

Anyway, we received the Medical Request by email on Friday May 15th. Very excited!!

Quick note: CIC didn't update our email address as specified in the forms we sent last September, and the Medical request was only sent to the original email submitted back in 2010.

No jeleni, they did not specifically ask to send the passport which is why I'm a bit confused. Considering the attachments Appendix A and the passport photo specifications, I'm guessing it's already a passport request although the list of additional requirement only stated fully completed Appendix A. Kindly see excerpt below. But I already sent enquiry from CIC Manila. Will post it here once clarified.

In order to continue processing your application, we require the following information and/or documents:
· Fully Completed Appendix A (attached) for you and each of your family members, whether accompanying you to Canada or not. Passport details are not required for any family member who is not accompanying you to Canada. (Each person should complete his/her own form.)



· Valid National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) clearance for Xxxxxxxx, issued within the last six months, with thumbprint and dry seal affixed. Please send us the original copy. “Personal Copy” is not accepted. DO NOT FAX YOUR NBI CLEARANCE.



NOTE: For NBI Certificates with “No Criminal Record” or “No Pending Record” remarks, when applicable, please provide the following additional information:

Ø Certification issued by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) providing details of their records relating to the remark on your NBI clearance;

Ø Your own detailed explanation of the circumstances surrounding the case(s) listed in the NBI certification (i.e., specific information on date(s)/time(s), place(s), person(s) involved; how events transpired; legal actions involved; resolution or termination of the case;)

Ø All pertinent police reports, testimonies/affidavits/written evidence, court orders/decision/documents relating to the case(s) listed; and,

Ø If case has been dismissed: out of court settlement documents, affidavit of admission, or any other documents related to the dismissal of case.



· Police certificate from UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (Please see the CIC web site for details on how to obtain police certificates from different countries:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp).
Note: if the original police certificate is not in English or French, you must include a translated copy.



To ensure the timely processing of your application, the document(s) and information we have requested must be provided to us within THIRTY (30) days of the date of this letter.

Are you sure you can do that for parent sponsorship. Upfront medicals are only for certain types of immigration case.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that for parent sponsorship we have to wait until requested to do medicals.

Like you I am waiting to get medical request and am also waiting since Jan.
It is not true that we can not do upfront medicals. Here is what I received from London Office few days ago: "Please note you are able to do upfront medicals but at your own risk, your medicals are only valid for one year, therefore we advise you wait until an officer has reviewed your case before completing a medical examination"

That's a polite way of saying don't do medicals until we ask you. Personally I think it is best to wait until medical request is received. However I can understand if someone else decides to have upfront medicals.
