Pakistani Applicants for Express Entry, Let's Network Here

[fkl]

Of course every one has a different number of family members. Some apply alone, others with spouse / kids.
(I did for a family of 5, self, spouse and 3 kids).

We did emedicals. The important thing here is "Non EDE". I have seen worker / visitor / family put for different people who got through irrespective of their status in Canada (I am referring to ppl with CEC who are working in Canada already).

Non ede means excessive demand exempt, which basically excludes the CIC medical condition of putting burden on Canadian healthcare system which is only exempted if you are say a refugee or spouse of a pr or citizen. All economic class applications (CEC, FSW, PNP etc.) should be NON EDE.

Also to be clear that this medical is for permanent residence - express entry, your file that the doctor uploads should have your ITA's copy attached.

There have been cases where medical done was for PR, but the doctors communicated it as for temp residence (work permit). This was for upfront medical exam. So case was refused / reopened and took a long time to figure out.

Thank you fkl for your quick reply, kindly guide me as I goes through e-medical today.
Doctors put mine and my spouse's upfront medical type Non-EDE/Worker, would it be a problem?

You are most welcome. That's perfectly fine. Just make sure they upload a copy of your ITA along, so it is clear this is medical for express entry permanent residence application, not a temp worker one.

thank you for your kind information sir,
They didn't ask for my ITA copy as they said they din't require any form etc. for upfront medicals. But I have clearly written that I am express entry applicant under visa category on appointment request letter, and I have proof of my sent email. Also, I wrote clearly on information letter which they handed over me when I reached at medical center and that document had an option name "Visa Category", I wrote "Federal Skilled Worker". and also told many times that I am an express entry applicant under FSW, while medical officer was entered my data for registration. what did they write on your and on your family registration sheet? Non-EDE/Worker? on all family members' information sheet?

You are most welcome. Seems like you have done what you could and it should be fine.

For people in circumstances similar to mine that i knew before, they wrote Non-EDE / worker. But for me, wife and kids they wrote Non EDE / visitors. I pushed to change this and eventually they did, although i know now that it does not matter (worker / visitor).

Please note that this circumstance is very different from yours. As i understand you did medicals in Pakistan at one of the IOMs where you have to pass through guards to enter. Been there done that.

However, as of now i am a CEC applicant inside Canada working on an LMIA based job. Obviously i did medicals with a doctor here. Since i have seen both, i know that you cannot "tell them much about what to do" in IOM Pakistan

UPDATE:
As long as they mentioned it is for EE / PR / FSW and form states Non EDE, you are good

P.S. No formalities with any salutations, we are just fellow applicants on a forum trying to help each other. All the best.

True :-D

Hi friend,

I have a query, how many family members you are applying? what type of medical exams you opted in? Is it e-medical? and under "Client Visa Details", what type of upfront medical they wrote? Non EDE/Worker for you and what type for your spouse (if you have any)?

I hope you got your answers

Yeah i have had a more elaborate show of their skills. Going to such a place for many hours with young kids and not being allowed to take their milk / food etc inside. Finally after some tussle and conversations with doc's assistant inside, was allowed to go back and forth to car a couple times when needed and bring stuff.

All the best. You cannot do much about that although to be fair, the hospital staff itself might be good.

One thing you should do is follow up with them a reasonable period after medicals (by calling at the right time when they are available and be patient till some one checks your case). Just ask them if they have uploaded your files. You can do this a couple times to ensure your file is transferred as soon as possible.

Hi Guys
Is there any chance of interview during process ?

Hi Guys
Is there any chance of interview during process ?

Very rare cases - in which they suspect some thing cannot be verified from docs (e.g. genuine marriage) and call upon for interview.

On average, surely 90-95% cases never face this.

AOA guyz,

Impressive thread, very useful for newbies. I am about to start my EE process and as you all know that preliminary steps are IELTS and ECA. Since my university is not listed on WES, CES is mad on their processing time (insane 20 weeks)

So i am thinking of IQAS, since it was not on CIC panel till last year but added later on, posting the link of CIC to just re-check with you guyz that is it ok, if i send my docs to IQAS for ECA?
