Upfront medical exam, how much difference will it make?

[daphne1992]

Hi,

I am wondering how many of you have taken the medical exam upfront, i.e, have the medical exam result mailed with your PR application to CIO? So technically we could save the time between "medical request" and " medical exam received"?

As inland PNP PR applicant, we have the choice of taking upfront medical exam. How many of you, or people you know of, have done that for the PR application? Can you please share the timeline of those application with upfront medical exam?

And if anyone who sees this post can kindly give your ideas about this upfront medical exam, why you would or would not do it, I would love to hear it!

Thanks all in advance!

Pretty much everyone has done upfront medicals if you're going through Express Entry. It's actually one of the required documents when you submit your application. You don't need to do the medical for PNP but should be done as soon as you get your ITA.

That's really helpful information, thanks for letting me know!
