Thank you for the detailed answer my friend.kaladhar said:Hi Harirajmohan & Druce,
I did my Upfront medicals on Aug 13, 2014 in Winnipeg with Dr.Fogel. Usually the way it works with Upfront medicals is that when we do the medical tests at the clinic, the doctor creates a file for you which has all your necessary info. like your Full name, DOB, Passport Number, Date of Issue, Date of Expiry, Type of tests performed and so on. Your panel physician will also provide you with a TRACKING SHEET (which contains your UMI number), which you are supposed to SCAN and SEND (as an e-mail attachment) to CIC/CIO (Since I did an upfront before actually submitting my application to CIC, I have also included the tracking sheet in my application). So, you can also send a hard copy of the tracking sheet to CIC's courier address. That's all you need to do from your end and you're done. You can either wait for an update on ECAS regarding your medicals (received line) or alternatively call CIC Call centre (roughly after 2 weeks) and inquire if they have received your test results and if they were attached to your file.
What actually happens is that your panel physician will be sending your medical test results directly to CIC, who in turn tracks your records from your tracking sheet that you have sent before or after (your doc has sent the results). I hope it all makes sense. This is a fairly easy process and greatly reduces the processing time (by atleast a month) since you are not actually waiting to hear from CIC to get your medicals done!
I believe I have answered your queries.. If you still have any other questions, please let me know..
Good luck!

P.S: Test results are usually valid for a FULL year. Also remember that its a good OMEN if you don't actually hear anything from the doc/panel physician, since they will only contact you if there is something wrong with your test results!!
If you are outside of Canada (like me) I believe you can only enter the country whilst your medicals is still valid. So lets say I do medicals now, and they take +-9 months to complete my application, I will have to enter the country in the next 3 months?
