Medical exam question.

[djc101]

Hi there,

I am trying to figure out when to do the medical.  The immigration helpline people tell me to do the exam before i submit the application ( as it says on the document checklist) but my local certified doctor says that i have to make the application first then they will send me the correct forms to bring with me to the exam.

He said it was because i need to have a client ID number so that they will be able to match up my results with my application.

Both parties seemed equally adamant that they were correct , obviously I would rather trust the helpline people but I spoke to the doctor twice and he said he would not book an appointment for me because i had not applied yet!

If it is a spousal application, you do the medical first.  The DMP should have the form IMM 1017 ECE and you send the receipt portion with the application.  If the DMP doesn't understand this, then find another.
