Thanks for the update Nazam. Would you mind to let us know the date they had received your app on eCAS? We can update the chart when Angus is back.
I had my clientID before applying for PR. However, when I did the medical exam, the doctor didn't even ask for it. So, I'm supposed they will match by name and the medical receipts.
Doing medical exam before or after sending your app is just trade-off. If you do it first and by anyway your app requires longer than 1 year, you may have to re-do it which costs money. Some people said that if you're too close to expired date of medical check and your app. is nearly done, CIC may speed up to avoid asking you for re-doing it. However, there is no confirmation on it.
If you don't do it first, later when CIC asks for it, it costs you extra waiting time (around 3 months).
The decision is from you.
Thanks for the answer irishred. I guess you will hear something around this Dec. Hope eCas will update for you before Xmas. Can't wait to see your update.
