Question for upfront medical check(Express Entry)

[minhokorea]

I'm wondering about the availability of upfront medical test. I did it on this January from the panel physician who listed on CIC with my wife, and we are going to do Express Entry in this May.
We thought that having test in prior is good for saving time.... but Someone told me that it is not available.

Do I and my wife have to do medical test again? or Is it available with the January's?

I'm so confused please help me.

hello,

most hospitals / clinics will ask for the ITA letter to do your meds now. Also, the validity of your medical exams is 1 year only. if you have already taken the exam in jan, it is valid thru jan 2019 but then if you are issued a PR, you need to ensure u enter Canada before the expiry of your medicals. If you cant, you will have to undergo the medicals again.

Thanks, We expect that we can entered in Canada with PR card until the end of this year. Therefore the expiry will be fine~

This. I was also asked my ITA letter. If they still hassle you, say you are a Worker (some still had the old FSW scheme in mind as opposed to the streamlined EE).

Thanks, but what I worrying about is whether EE will accept my medical report of January or not. Actually there was no problem when I did medical check from panel physician.

They will. as i said, the report is valid for 1 year from the date of the tests done.

Nishant.
