From Regional Medical Center to Local Visa Office

[wpc71]

Hi all
Does anyone know how long it normally takes for the medical results to reach local visa offices once they are received by the Regional Medical Center in another country? Is this an electronic data transfer (approval/rejection) or the entire medical file needs to go to the local office before a decision has been made?

About a month, electronic transfer of just the medical profile.  No, if it is a refusal it is done at the Regional Medical Centre and the reasons for the refusal are sent to the visa office.

Thanks PMM
So if it is an approval, the local visa office will get the data within a month electronically. Right?

Thanks again

ok. im confused.
i will have my medical in alberta bec im currently workin in canada
my local visa office is Manila
so the DMP will send the medical result directly to CIC Manila or the DMP will submit it to another office after which that office will send it to CIC Manila..

Is it correct?

It is quite likely that the DMP will send it to Ottawa, rather than Manila.  Most DMPs can't be bothered to courier them to another office, rather than the one they usually deal with.
