When to do Medical Examination??

[jazzyinUS]

I have everything ready to send out to immigration for my husband sponsorship to canada. Last week he got his medical exam done in USA. But now I am finding out that he suppose to go for check up once he receives a letter from immigration office upon submitting his application..

See, i was just following the DOCUMENT CHECKLIST in which one of the required documents to send out to immigration canada is
"Proof of Medical Examination for the sponsored person (original copy 2 of form IMM 1017 signed by the examining doctor)"

Please guide me on how to go about getting this form IMM1017..

thank you!!

I found it at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp but those are the documents for in-Canada sponsorship.  I believe that if he's doing outland, he should use the medical form from the region specific forms at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp#region

thanx Leon!!

But the question is whether his medical check up is done before we submit all the applications or after when we get some sort of letter from immigration canada asking us to do the medical check up?

I don't know that, you'd have to call CIC and ask.  Since he's just had the medical, maybe you can still use it.  If he has to do it again, I've heard it's cheaper to do in Canada, he might come visit you for it.

You do the medical before you submit the sponsorship and the application and you include the receipt with the application.  I assume he had the medical at a DMP.

Yes, he did his medical at DMP in US. They gave us the receipt for that . We were about to submit everything until i read this in DOCUMENT CHECKLIST IMM5491
"Proof of Medical Examination for the sponsored person (original copy 2 of form IMM 1017 signed by the examining doctor)"

And when i ended up finding IMM1017, it happened to be as one of the forms under immigration applications for inside canada and he is not in Canada..

When we asked DMP office, they had  no idea of any forms.

Please answer as this is the only requirement that is keeping us from sending our application out!

It doesn't matter if you In or Out of Canada, enclose the IMM 1017 copy with the application.

i just found out that the DMP who did my husband medical suppose to give us the form IMM 1017 so we can attach with rest of the application forms and send it.
