I am planning to apply under CEC can I get my Medicals done upfront or do I need to wait till I receive ITA.

Please let me know.

CIC recommends to wait for ITA first.

Quote from CIC website:

Do not complete any medical exam until you get an Invitation to Apply.

While a client do upfront medical, what type of report they check, for instance blood test they check if someone has HIV positive , is there anything else they look for from blood test?
Other query, in urine test they check if any sugar in urine. What if some someone don't have sugar but client has other problem in urine, would CIC reject PR application. Does anyone know answer those question.
Please clarify in someone experience about these.
Thanks in advance.

Blood test is for HIV and Syphilis, unless your doctor specially asks them to check for something else because of your medical history.
When I had my medical exam, the doctor told me that they will contact me if there is any concern after screening(blood/X-ray/urine) tests.
So even if something goes wrong, I believe you will have a chance to talk with your doctor before they send the result to CIC.

Does our family members also need to get the Medicals Done even though if they are not coming with you.

I would say this is crazy





1. Medical exams

Do not complete any medical exam until you get an Invitation to Apply. You must have a medical exam before you can become a permanent resident. Your family members must also have one, even if they are not coming with you.

We will not approve your permanent resident application if your health:

is a danger to Canada’s public health or safety, or
would cause too much demand on health or social services in Canada.
When the panel physician completes the medical exam, they will either give you an information printout sheet, or an IMM 1017B Upfront Medical Report form. You must provide a copy the document they gave you when you apply online.

By family members they mean, your spouse or dependants. Coz they also are eleigible for permanent residence once you are a resident.
Same does not apply to your parents, relatives or siblings.
