I know for spousal sponsorship, they ask for actual documents.

in our case (spousal sponsorship) they didn't ask either for diplomas or workbook... I guess each visa office has different requirements.

Does anybody know if education/work papers are required for parents?
Our local office used to ask for it... but not sure if CPP-Ottawa will also ask the same papers as local offices ask...

Dear Applicant:
            All applicants who are seeking permanent residence in Canada must satisfy Canada's medical admissibility criteria.  In order to determine your medical admissibility to Canada, you and your spouse are required to undergo a medical examination. This examination is required whether or not your spouse will accompany you to Canada.
            Please take this letter and the enclosed Medical Report form(s) IMM1017 for yourself and your spouse to the medical practitioner performing the examination.  You and your spouse should be examined by the same doctor. 
            The medical examination must be performed by one of the licensed physicians shown on the "List of Designated Medical Practitioners" (i.e. doctors). To access this list, please refer to our website:   http://www.cic.gc.ca/dmp-md/medical.aspx.  If you and/or your spouse are outside of your home country for an extended period of time, you may see a Designated Medical Practitioner in the country where you are presently residing. 
            The latest version of the Medical Report consists of five sections, A to E.  You have only received Section A, "Client Identification and Summary."  Sections B to E of the Medical Report form are for use by a medical doctor and are provided to physicians by the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, Health Services.
            You should make arrangements to undergo the required medical examination immediately. Failure to do so within 30 days of this notice will result in unnecessary delays in the processing of your application.
