As an American living in Canada with no legal status, other than being married to a Canadian, I am told I need a passport to get my medical exam. I don't have one. Even my (Michigan) Driver's License is expired. I am so fed up with all the BS, just trying to get Permanent Resident status. Help!

Yes you need your passport.
Hang on a minute, do you have a photocopy of your passport, I remember i never had my passport with me when i did my medicals, but went with photo copies, and birth certificates, driver licence, they just need it for their files and identify its you the medicals are for. Try that!

Looking at the guide for medical exams http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5289E12.aspIt looks like you will need an "official identity document bearing a photo and the date of birth of the family member". |

You do not need your passport for the medical exam. My husband didn't have a passport when he did his exam (this was in India). Actually, on the advise of our MP's office, we submitted the PR application before my husband even had his passport since he had already been waiting more than 1 year for it. You will need some type of identity document though. This is a quote from the medical exam instructions of what you need to bring with you: Passport and photocopies of the biographical data pages (this is the page that shows the date of birth, the country of origin, etc.)If no passport is available, provide an official identity document bearing a photo and the date of birth of the family member |

While the OP can get away with no passport for the medical - her driver's liscense is expired She's going to need a passport anywayI did my medical without my passport simply because I forgot it The DMP's office was less than thrilled and almost didn't do my medical because of it You do not need your passport for the medical exam.

My husband and step son had their meds in Canada and they needed their passport
and agree with others, where do you think they will put your pr visa if you have no passport? get your passport

It is my understanding that once you get approved for a visa they send a passport request? What will happen at this stage?

they wait for your passport, stamp visa and return it back to you |

Well, obviously, she will eventually need a passport!!!! Good grief. She just doesn't need it to do the medical which was the original question. |

right bu you dont want to overwhelm the agent with too many things. it has to be easy for the officer to navigate the info and absorb what's there. to much can be bad as well.

Sorry Sara, I don't understand your comment. How would getting the medical done without a passport, as per the instructions from CIC, be too much for an immigration officer to absorb? right bu you dont want to overwhelm the agent with too many things. it has to be easy for the officer to navigate the info and absorb what's there. to much can be bad as well.
