Dear all,

My wife and I had a medical examination from June 2019 which expired in June 2020 since we were unable to travel between the issuance of our COPR Visa in end March as the borders were closed.

My wife gave birth July 25th and I contacted the authorities to add my daughter as a dependent. They have now requested the following:

Client Information:
- Copy Birth Certificate
- Copy of child's passport
- Fee payment
- Medical examination proof.

I have the first 3, but my question to you is: Does Medical Examination Proof mean just for my daughter, or does my wife and I both need to undergo a new medical examination?

I am quite certain that they only mean for my daughter and I wanted to ask here before contacting the IRCC as they are totally swamped and I would like to keep my enquiries to them at a minimum.

Many thanks in advance and I hope there are more of you out there who have finally heard back from the authorities to get your application moving again after these trying months for all.

Best
J
