Canadian border to apply working permit

[shaun]

My status in Canada is visitor. I received LMO confirmation on June 14. I had the medical done June 21 in Canada and I recently called the hospital where I had the medical check. The hospital told me they send the results straight to immigration on July 14. Is it ok to bring a prove that I had completed my medicals on a specific date at Canadian border to apply working permit?
Is there a way to check my medical results are in the computer in Ottawa? I called 1-888-242-2100 but the line is always busy. I went Service Canada to ask my status. Since this is not an in Canada application there is no file created. There was my LMO confirmation in computer but no medical information or no file created.

April 23, 2011 - submitted Application for LMO
June 14, 2011- received LMO Confirmation
June 21 2011 – had medical exam
July 14, 2011 - medical exam results sent

Please help me through!

Why did you do a medical?

I assume you had a medical check because you had lived in a "designated country" before traveling, is that right?
Sending the medical results is not usually the last step. They also need to examine the medical results and then let you know if they want further testing done.

I had to go through this when I relocated to Canada a few years ago because I had been working in Brazil for the previous year. There was a wait of around 5 weeks from when we sent the results to when we were given the green light to travel to Canada.

Are the company who applied for the LMO using immigration lawyers to help with the process? If so, everything should go through them and they will tell you when you are OK to apply at the border. If they are good at their job, they will also give you a letter to present to the immigration officer at the border which tells them everything they need to know about your case. Then you just hand that over with your qualifications etc. and answer any questions the officer has.

Were the medicals done by a designated medical practitioner?

Yes, but the OP hadn't applied for the work permit through an embassy/consulate as far as I can see and received instructions to do the medical. That is the proper procedure. And we don't know if they are visa exempt to the US either, which I doubt if a medical is required.

If the company or the OP had lawyers, they would have told the OP to apply for the WP by following the proper procedure through an embassy/consulate if a medical was required. Only visa exempt individuals not requiring a medical can apply at the border.

But the OP has not bothered to respond I didn't know that hospitals in Canada do the medicals. I thought the medicals were done at clinics. Without the OP elaborating on his status there's nothing much to go on. I'm guessing the OP did the medicals without the medical instructions considering s/he had not sent the application yet and only when an application has been sent does the embassy/consulate start the processing, requesting further docs/requirements.

Usually, medical result will be on CIC computer after 2 month.
I would like to recommend that you better go to the border after September.
Or you can call CIC call center end of August. That's the only way you can do.
