Info on-TOEFL score report, financial doc,medical exam(Study permit-Bangladesh)

Hi,
I only have the TOEFL score in my account in the ETS'(testing company) website. I can print that out and notarize it- will that be accepted by the authorities? I don't have the hard copy of the original examinee report but ordering that now from ETS can take months and my classes start this September. :-[
Moreover, I needed to know what financial documents I need to submit to prove that I can support myself. The thing is the Singapore checklist pdf states that I have to give a written explanation of the source of funds. What exactly is that?
Lastly, will an upfront medical examination save time? If so, what documents from this examination should I submit along with the study permit application? Does the doctor have to send something himself/herself?

I need to apply as soon as possible and I am confused. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

TOEFL - Yes, just print out the TOEFL score and notraize it (everyone does this), NO NEED for hard copy of the original exam report, they just check the reference number for originality (I guess)

Follow the checklist, written explanation of source of funds is more like - including affidavit of support and SOP (everyone does this)

Upfront medical is optional, better to do it later, you don't want to waste money if you're getting rejected anyways.

Best of luck!

Hi thanks a lot! It is such a relief upon learning about the format in which the TOEFL is acceptable.
And is the SOP a short written piece about my purpose of visit? It would be great if you could elaborate on this.

Hey,
about notarization, does it matter if it's done in our own language? (I am Romanian).
CIC websites says the notary should write in English "I certify that this is a true copy of the original document", but my notary said she can't do this in English as notaries here, by law have to authorize things like things like this only in Romanian. Will the visa officer still acknowledge it as notarized?

PS: What about the format for the transcripts from the former school? In my case these ARE doubled in English so I need no translation, but must I still notarize them? (for visa office. I already used them and got accepted to school)
Also should I give my old diplomas translated and notarized? eventually verified by the school?

THANKS!
