They don't reject for that. In my GCMS notes that came today, I can see that the VO simply gets a report from the medical assessor. In my notes under the medical section it doesn't mention any of the EDE, non-EDE, etc (BTW, we were both EDE-Family) or what tests were performed or what the results were. It simply says, Assessed for: All , meaning that the test was assessed for all statuses. I assume that by now the people doing the medical assessments have been told how to assess EE applicants, so that these mistakes will stop, but the fault was in the assessment, not in the exam, not in the code used, not in the doctors, and not with the VO, and I believe there is nothing the applicants could do about it -- only CIC could stop the madness.se7en said:This is very unfortunate that CIC rejects application on the basis of NON-EDE thing. Why don't they instruct the physicians to select EDE for EE PR applicants and they should at-least give a chance to applicants for re-medical if their previous medical was in wrong category.
I believe that is the correct one! My doctor put my file under the same category.ThiagoSCF said:I just came back from the clinic and this thread saved my life.
The attendant have never dealt with any cases of permanent residency before (only study and work permits). So she didn't know what type to choose.
I also tried to call the Canada consulate here in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), but no one answered.
In the end, I told her to create my file as "Work - Non EDE". Hopefully this will work.
What happened last year was a mistake - this has been rectified and the applicants are not being found ineligible based on the type of medical anymore. Go to your DMP and tell them you are there for an "upfront medical for PR application". They will take care of the rest!butters1690 said:Read through this thread and there seem to be different answers!
Did anyone figure out what a dependent's upfront medical type should be??

Technically, it should be non-EDE. But several people with EDE-XX on their upfront medical reports have sailed through. I guess you should stop worrying too muc about this .butters1690 said:Raj, thanks so much for responding!!
Does that mean it does not matter what category they place my spouse in for the upfront medical?
Maybe I should just have more faith with the medical staff here lol.. they just seem clueless!

Technically, it should be Non-EDE (Non-Economic Demand Exempt).g126 said:Raj, what did you use when you went for your upfront medical? Non-EDE/Worker or EDE/Family?
I've seen many comments saying Worker is temporary and Family is permanent soe for that reason you should chose Family...
But then again EDE sounds more like it for PR...
Thanks Raj, as always very helpful! +1rajkamalmohanram said:Technically, it should be Non-EDE (Non-Economic Demand Exempt).
There used to be a problem with the type of medical exam last year. However, IRCC have rectified it and it is no more an issue. Make sure you tell the doctor that you are here for "Upfront Medical Exam for Permanent Residence application". The tests required for a PR medical exam are -
1) 501 - Medical Examination
2) 502 - Chest X-ray
3) 707 - HIV test
4) 712 - Syphilis
Make sure these tests are mentioned on the e-medical information sheet.
Mine was Non-EDE Worker BTW.

However, in the forum there are many experiences it it should write NON-EDE WORKER, or NON-EDE FAMILY or EDE-WORKER on the status. Do we have a consensus in here? I doctor seems like its her first express entry medical examination so I am afraid of the risk.
