Hi everyone.
We asked the medical staff and they are saying they can generate only UME (upfront medical examination) number, but not IME. Is it okay? They are saying we should ourselves bring IME number. Is that correct? I am confused

In FSW case we get UME only. They will provide document (In india they give 4 pager document) and UMI is mentioned in it.

You will have to take with you copy of ITA, IRCC letter asking to upload the medical and other documents that Hospital ask you to bring with you like Passport and photos.

So we upload only UME form and not IME, right?

They are wrong. And, the person you spoke to didn't knew anything. This is a common problem though, I wrote about it here under UME: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/may-2023-aor.796647/post-10453850

Tell them that you would like to get a upfront medical exam under "worker" category. Also, inform them that IRCC don't send IME forms for upfront medical tests. Now, the information sheet you get at the end will have your IME number in it.

If you see your Information sheet, you'll see a IME number above UMI

The sheet does not have IME No. It has UMI no.

It is mentioned as like this:

IME: Non EDE
Upfront medical type: Worker
UMI# U*******

Oh, I see. I will call them again. Thank you so much, everybody.

Do tell us your IME no. If you got one.

Upfront medical type: Worker
UMI# U*******

So even when you said your category is “worker”, they still did not have IME form? So saying I am a “worker” category does not solve the problem, it seems?

True, it'll either be an IME number or non-EDE. A good read on those for anyone interested: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/panel-members-guide.html#sec1.5.8.2

I used the "worker" category (did from India too). It will work. When the first time I called the panel physician, they gave me the same response too. Just tell them about upfront exam, no form will come from IRCC, and that you can do it under the worker category.

Samal, Hospitals (Approved Panel Physicians) have their own prescribed formats as per country, if you tell them its for PR and show them your ITA they will provide you with the right document.

 

[iSaidGoodDay]

Do tell us your IME no. If you got one.

I do have one.

 

[Samal]

I see. So I will tell them to assess us as “worker” category and bring all docs I have . We are in Germany, Berlin.
