Thanks a lot MsAniger! I was thinking on the same lines, just wanted to have more expert opinion. Already booked my appointment for the Medical next early next week. Please if you can advise how the upfront Medical will be sent to IRCC, ;
Is it being sent by the medical center directly to IRCC?
Or I have to sent that through Webform?
Or Both?
Appreciate your advice on this point as well.
Thanks!
I am not an expert but have done enough research and through personal experience do feel confident to advise where I can. The medical centre/panel physician will submit your results directly to IRCC. There is a copy of a form known as e-Medical that the panel physician will give you for your own records. Don't forget to take your Passport.
It should be around 10 days max for them to submit your medical results to IRCC. In my case, just to be sure this had been done, I called IRCC about 1 month after I did my medicals, they confirmed having received mine and of my 2 dependants...however, it takes about 3 months, as per IRCC link for them to process the results and update the system. But it's all on a case by case basis, some applicants on this forum had their medical results updated in the system within a month.

Considering the long process, I strongly recommend that you arrange to get yours done soonest
BUT I just remembered, some temporary residents have been exempted from taking medicals under an existing public policy which expires in December. If the conditions apply to you, then you do not need to do your medicals.
