Hi,
I did upfront medical from Canada, which showing IME:Non EDE, Upfront Medical type: Worker
And, my wife did upfront medical from back home in Bangladesh, which showing, IME: EDE, Upfront Medical type: Family EDE....
Can anybody please explain this? does it create any issue?
EDE: Excessive Demand Exempt
Here is more details:
EDE
EDE clients are those who are exempted from assessment of excessive demand on the Canadian health care system.
However, EDE clients are assessed for:
•Danger to public health;
•Danger to public safety.
Non-EDE
Non-EDE clients are assessed for:
•Danger to public health;
•Danger to public safety;
•Excessive demand on the Canadian health care system.
Note: EDE clients include refugees, refugee claimants and certain family classes and individuals with protected person status
So is it EDE or non-EDE, It really depends on what is your case, Nationality and type of Application.
I'd say, unless the CIC Officer requires it, the standard process should be "EDE".
