Medical for EE

[ngelsa]

I couldn't get out of work today, so I rescheduled my medical to this Friday. I will update after my exam. Also, the cost is $325-ish. I cannot recall the exact number that the nurse gave me.

Did my Medical earlier today and a few things to note:
1. The cost was $330 (for the clinic I went to)
2. The clinic did not know of the EE program and hence the nurse put me down as Worker category (I am not applying under the family class nor student class, so worker is the closest one)
3. Bring a passport AND health card AND Driver License (Passport is a must because the form that the nurse had to complete asks for info regarding your passport)
4. Copies of your pictures if your clinic does not use eMedical system - check CIC website for the exact # of copies (my clinic uses the eMedical system so I didn't have to bring my own pictures)
5. Bring your medical history and long term medication if applicable
6. Glasses (if you, like me, do not wear glasses on a regular basis but do need one for driving then make sure you bring one)
7. Allow 2 hours for the exam

One thing I want to point out is that the nurse will need to know of your place of birth and citizenship to proceed with the examination. If you are in a slightly complicated situation like myself (ex. born in Hong Kong holding a B.N.O. passport), make sure you have the nurse look through the entire list to select the correct country and citizenship! For me, B.N.O. was, for some reason, not sorted alphabetically and was at the very bottom of the list! Glad I insisted the nurse to search through the entire list before settling for "British Overseas Territories"! Also, for those of you who are born in Hong Kong, your nurse will have to select "HKSAR of the PRC". My nurse couldn't find Hong Kong on the list and I was surprised! Then I asked there is nothing like "Hong Kong SAR?" and she said, "HKSAR of the PRC? I wouldn't have guessed that means Hong Kong!".

Remember, the nurse has no responsibility for putting in wrong information on those forms, so it is all on you to make sure that all information is corrected on the system!

Last but not least, at the end the doctor gave me the forms that I could submit to CIC. The results will be sent to CIC through the eMedical system after 10 days or so (they have to wait for blood test results to come back to the clinic first).

Good luck.

Thank you for your post ngelsa!
That's really helpful!
So you did your ME under workers category in emporary residents?
not ME for permanent residents?
-----------
Medical exams
If you apply to:

Immigrate to Canada, you must have a medical exam before you come to Canada.
Come to Canada as a visitor, student or worker, you may need a medical exam.
-------------
so they take you as the second one??

The problem with Express Entry's Upfront Medical Request is that the clinics cannot select Permanent Resident for upfront medical because there is no such category for their system when you don't have a form for them. They can choose either "Family Class", "Worker" or "Student".

 

[tempa]

yeah, I know that.
but the 2 categories for upfront ME in CIC are:

1.Immigrate to Canada, you must have a medical exam before you come to Canada.
2 categories under this:
a.family class: Spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner
b.family class: Dependent children
2.Come to Canada as a visitor, student or worker, you may need a medical exam.
3 categories under this:
a.Workers
b.Students
c.Visitors (including Parent and Grandparent Super Visa)

the second category is for temporary residents not permanent residents...
That's the problem~
We'll see what should we do...

When you click on the Instruction under Proof of Medical Exam in your document check list it will direct you to a link here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-temp.asp

You only have 3 classes to choose from, so choose the best that describes your situation.

I had my medical exam this week..and it was really simple..I paid 400 total.
Just needed to bring passport and no pictures cause they are using the medical
You have to have your contacts on in case you use them or bring glasses
And they didn't ask anything related to medical history.
Mine was really fast 1 hour and a half was done...but usually takes up to 2 hours.
My clinic didn't have the proper paper for EE also and put under family category.

Hi
What medical procedure did they perform aside from Chest xray and blood works? Why take 2 hours, never done medical exams from a long time

After medical exam what do I get? Do they give result or anything else? What do I have upload? I remember very first time when I am having the medical exam they didn't give me any paper in Moscow.
I am in Canada but my spouse and daughter is in Uzbekistan. I just want to make sure I they need to get copy or something cuz all blood samples and other things will be sent to London.
Please If you have same situation or experience similar situation share your experiences.
Thank you very much in advance.
