Medical Exam for Express Entry invitees

[tomneversfield]

Hello,

Quick question: When you go to do the medical exam, does the doctor give you an electronic 'pdf' report that you need to 'upload'? or Does the doctor upload it himself? or perhaps FedEx it to the local Canadian consulate/embassy?

My wife and I are American/Egyptian citizens living in the States.. We're applying as US residents/citizens. My score is 463 so hopefully I should get an ITA on the next 1-3 draws... we'll be spending 2.5 months this summer in Egypt (going to Egypt in 3 weeks). If we get an ITA while we're in Egypt, do you think we can go to one of the panel physicians in Egypt to do the medical exams? We might not be able to make it to the US back in time (within the 60 days) if we receive the ITA during our first week in Egypt. Will the doctors in Egypt give us an electronic report that we need to upload, or can they submit it in the system themselves.

Honestly too, the medical exams in Egypt cost substantially less than in the US.. so that would also be an advantage.

Thanks

You can do your medical with any CIC approved panel physician, so yes, you can do your medical in Egypt.

The physician will send the results to the CIC. Some doctors send the report by mail, though increasingly they are using the eMedical system to send the results digitally.
