URGENT: Application Cancelled - No Upfront Medical Report?

[Michal]

I called them and they said they don't take calls about Express Entry. They sent me a useless link to the CIC website (like I hadn't already pored over it for information). I asked the guy if he could just tell me the right forms for eMedical and he said he couldn't!

I submitted a CSE last night, but it will take a minimum of 30 business days to process. I feel like I am being punished for someone else's mistake.

I called CIC with my case (cancelled for no reason). At first I chose the "Express entry" topic on the hotline and the guy just told me to send CSE. I called again and picked another topic - don't remember the name of it, but looking at my phone I chose 191931 (I know that 9 is "repeat the message"). So I suggest you try calling them again. I was successful to get more info when I called the second time.

All this medical rejection are so weird and seem unfair, as we don't know what is going on.

Thank you all for replies. I am glad but also not glad to hear I am not alone in this problem...

Re: my medical grade -- I'm not sure? I don't see this entry on the eMedical form which is all I have in my personal records.

I have contacted CIC via phone, CSE, Twitter, and my doctor's office via phone and e-mail. I will see where I can get with this. Honestly I am extremely frustrated and may end up contacting a lawyer.

I will keep you all updated regarding this process.

Try the number I provided - let us know if it helped. By looking at what is going on, I am afraid we will see more cases like yours So fingers crossed for you. Fight!

I will try this as well, Michal, thank you!

Maybe you and one or two others in this position should pool resources to hire a lawyer.

I just heard back from Doctor's office and this is what the board physician said:

"Very sorry for this situation having arisen with your application. For Upfront Medicals, as required for Express Entry, the temporary category of "Worker" is used as there is no permanent category for upfront medicals for express entry. Then CIC and the Health Branch confirm with each other whether the medical should be assessed for temporary or permanent residency, but somehow this communication must not have happened between them, so, I have sent a request to the Health Branch to ask them to rectify this error, and to assess you both for permanent residency. I will let you know when they reply."

Had my medical yesterday and my doctor gave me the same answer.
Although he did take my express entry profile number and mentioned it in the notes/comments section on e-medical that this was for Permanent residence express entry.
my category is worker Non EDE as well. I will submit my application next week, hopefully there are no issues.
Its an annoying oversight on the part of CIC hopefully your problem gets resolved soon.

Hello!

This EXACT thing happened to us! We're stymied, as they MD office insisted they did the right exam. They communicated with their "contact" and we were told they would NOW consider our application as PR. However I don't know what to do since our application was cancelled. We sent a letter to the processing centre, but I hold out little hope that we'll get a response. The call Centre hasn't been able to help.

We've restarted the EE process and have received an ITA, but do we resubmit our previous medical forms? Do we need to redo the exams? Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!!

Did you get any feedback on this? Will you reaply with the same eMedical report or will you redo the whole exam?

I just got off the phone with CIC, and I was told that 1) she couldn't change the coding and 2) she didn't know what I should do regarding the fact my physical was coded as a temporary visitor.. She said I could either submit the same form with a letter of explanation or redo the medical exam with another physician. I have no idea what to do...
