I have a friend of mine who needs to submit all documents before the end of the month but she was not able to find an appointment for upfront medical before mid-october.

The issue is that in here checklist, she has to provide upfront medical and I would like to know what are her alternatives ?
Decline this round of invitation and wait for the next one to buy some time (Her CRS is around 490)
LOE to explain that no appointement is available and once med done, she will uplaod it?

I looked in the internet but couldnt' find the answer, if someone can help, I would appreciate

It’s frankly hard to believe one cannot get an appointment within 90 days.

Moreover the candidate will not submit the medical results, the doctors office will. So you only need a note from the doctor saying that your appointment is confirmed. That will suffice to submit the application.

Thank you for the answer.
Actually my friend, called only few days ago to ask for an appointment, so she didn't look to do her medicals before. First appointment available is on 13th October.
I believe it is safer for her to decline ITA and wait for the next round of invites

She can taken an appointment and submit the appointment letter as proof of medical upfront explain it in the LOE that she couldn't get the appointment as soon as possible. An ADR will be raised for her and her application will not be processed until they receive her completed medicals.

Doctors usually take around 2 working days to upload medicals. Mine did the very next day of the medical exam.
