Retake Medical Exam because unsatisfied?

[JaninaW]

Hello,
I had my upfront medical exam for Express Entry done today (weirdly enough the clinic I called still offered the service despite COVID). But I was very unsatisfied because the doctor did not at all care about a pre-existing health condition. I specifically asked if he needs to know anything else and he just said no, gave me the documents and I sent me away. So I am a bit worried and I am wondering if it would be possible for me to voluntarily retake an exam with a different doctor? Is that even possible? I am planning to include a section about the conditions in my LoE regardless. I just want to be honest and make clear that I am not hiding anything.
Any help is much appreciated.

From where did you take the exam ? is it in Toronto Location ? I have been trying my best from last one month but not able to book any appointment and its getting cancelled due to covid 19

It was in Calgary. There are at least two clinics here that are still open for appointments. Not sure why. And not that I’ve been there, seeing what they’ve done I am wondering even more.

What about PCC ? have you got that also done ? I think if they have provided you official documents then it must be good enough ? How did you get the IME number ?

 

[JaninaW]

I did not have an IME number.

If the doctor didn't need any further information, you are just complicating things for yourself for no reason. You don't need to take another medical or explain anything in an LOE.

Okay. Thanks for the advice.
I am just wondering how much information I should provide myself since I have undergone medical check ups on this conditions in Canada already and it’ll be evident from the Chest XRay.

You told the doctor. If IRCC requires further information or testing, they will request it.

Okay, thanks for the help

I have a more specified follow up to this since this appointment really left a bad aftertaste. So, I ticked the box in the form that they gave me at the clinic, that I have a cancer history. He went over the form. But he didn’t ask any questions about it. Since this has been in the past five years, it should be mentioned in the form that he’ll send to immigration. I asked him if he needs any further information but he said no. So he wouldn’t even know that it was in the past five years. I’m so confused and worried now.
Any idea what to do? If I provide the information in the express entry part where they ask about any past health issues and it won’t match up with the form, will this lead to rejection? Or would they rather follow up on this and ask me for more information?

Seriously, you need to stop worrying. As already said, if the doctor needed more info, he would have asked. This is not going to affect your app.

Okay, thanks

Would report the doctors CIC because he is doing a disservice to people living in Canada if he isn’t asking about other pre-existing diseases. The doctors are being paid to detect people with excessively expensive medical issues.

I am surprised that you still could get your upfront med exam done at this moment. I am in BC and all clinics have been closed since 23 Mar (

Person is already in Canada. Dr can access his all medical records through their online system. Doesn't need to ask the patient.
