I agree, this is ridiculous, my physician (I'm from Ukraine) also told me that those who apply through EE, have Worker in their information sheet, as there is no other option in eMedicals for EE applicants. Now i'm freaking out ((
Exactly!!!
Here's what happened to me when i went to an international clinic in Beijing to get my medical on July 25:
The nurse told me if i wanted an
upfront medical check, I could not choose "Immigration" as the type, and that i had to choose either of these four categories "Study", "Family Reunion", "Worker", "Visiting family member". So i said I belonged to neither, i just belonged "Immigration".
But she said that "Immigration" requires me to have a medical form from local visa office which i did not have. I explained to her about Express Entry, the new system this year 2015, she looked at me and she told me she never heard of it. Their uploading system does not have such a button labeling "Express Entry", so it has to be the four categories above.
So i asked around among my fellow Chinese applicants on a forum, those who had already landed a visa thru EE, they told me they all had chosen
"Reunion", voila, therefore
my type of Medical Check is "Reunion"... It shows:
IME: EDE
Upfront medical type: Family-EDE
This is really messed up. They, CIC does not communicate with international clinics/hospitals about EE, and it ends up in this miscommunication. And we the applcants will be the victims... Sorry i might be exaggerating things a bit, but seriously!! How hard is it for them to work this out??
