Hi,
I have been invited to apply for PR through the express entry program.
I have collected almost all of the documents (education diplomas, employment records, proof funds, etc.) but to be able to submit my application a proof of upfront medical exam is required.
But on the official Canada immigration website it says:
"As of October 1, 2023, you no longer need to get an upfront medical examination before you submit your application for permanent residence through Express Entry."
I don't get it. I don't have health issues but I checked and the nearest physician to take the exam is hundreds of km from where I live. So I'd rather not take the exam for now and wait for further instructions.
I am in my 40s and was wondering if the upfront medical exam is required for me for age reasons or if it appears as a requirement for everybody.
I could not find information about it on the different forums and I am surprised that there aren't more questions about it.
So is the medical exam required ? Should I upload a blank document ?
