That's good. It was stupid of the office to let it get that far. Usually the threat of filing a complaint with IRCC is enough to get them to listen, as they don't want to lose their Panel Physician designation.

Where have you filled this complaints?? The doctor really needs this information as we did the medical test and he couldnt send the medicals over the platform!! you are lucky to have received this... imagine, i call CIC and the representative said it was not possible in any case to only bring a birth certificate!! So much bad information ....

I wrote e-mails never got answer.

I emailed to
IRCC.MHBGPNMU-UGRMPDDGMS.IRCC@cic.gc.ca
It's the contact details found online below the panel physicians handbook. Took them 6 days to respond.
The Dr's office has already started being more cooperative.

I would email, it can't hurt, plus it will probably get a more accurate response than the generic web form responses

So I wrote to the e-mail adress you gave me, wow this has been so helpful!!! I wrote it on sunday and on monday we received a call from the doctor. (he was kind of pissed but anyway...) Supposed that CIC got in touch with him so that he can send the results by the system!! Now they are sent!!!

Meanwhile, I received the answer from the Web form, which was just a copy paste of the web site saying that all dependant most perform a medical test. Saying they hope it is helpfun to my case...???

Wow there is so much misinformation....The representative of CIC said to me there was no way i could ever make a medical test with only a birthcertificate... The doctor has been told the same... But seems like what's inside the Panel member book is actually accurate!

Hope our case will help others!
