Hey! Hope I can gain a bit of clearance on the IME number and the work permit topic here.
I've submitted a work permit application (LMIA) a year ago. A month ago it got approved and I got my Visa.
Right about the time I got my Visa, my upfront medical exam has expired. Having read the info that my medical has to be valid at the time of entering CA, I went to get my second medical.
The staff at the physicians panel told me that they can't neither update my previous upfront medical record as it has already expired and I have the VIsa now, so I can't do the upfront exam anymore nor create a new one because the previous expired record is still in the database.
They wrote to some medical agency that.. manages (?) the database. The reply was for me to get the new IME number. I've never heard of this procedure and I can't find any sufficient info on the topic.
I've requested the new IME number via the standard IRCC Web form but haven't heard from them for weeks.
Do you have any advice on what to do next?
Thanks in advance!
