MEDICALS REQUEST: My application was received on July 29, 2014 July 31, 2014 and the nearest doctors on panel are in Edmonton, which is 16-18 hours drive from where I live. I'm travelling to Edmonton on March 30 and booked an appointment with a doctor for same day. I don't know if I'll have the Medical Request before then. The doctor is saying that they can't perform tests until it's requested by CIC. Any thoughts or recommendations?
