Folks,
Just to keep you posted. Unwillingly I am planning to go for medicals in advance next week. My family is returning to India in early July at the start of School vacation in Canada. Do have a plan to bring them back to Canada as PR and land in Oct/Nov if all goes well with my application.
Do not see any benefit from Upfront medicals but I don't prefer to do mine in Canada individually and ask them to get it done in India separately. Moreover, looking at the current pace, I do not expect any MR's before Aug for Jan 2013 applicants.
