Upfront medical for supervisa is possible and even cic encourages it as optional. My parents called max hospital in Delhi and people there were well aware of the upfront medical process for supervisa or PR.michelv said:
Besides, I found the following on cic website. Everybody should take a look as it outlines the process for panel physicians.

4.3.2 Upfront Medical (IMM 1017B UPFRONT)
UFM examinations are performed when clients report to a panel physician for their IME before a visa application has been submitted to CIC. Clients who are eligible for UFM examinations will not have a Medical Report (IMM 1017) issued by CIC nor will they have an existing file in the eMedical system.
Panel physicians should not refuse to examine these clients.
Panel physicians must ensure that they provide the client with the proof of having completed their upfront medical examination. For eMedical, the proof is the “Information Sheet” letter that they will print. For paper-based upfront medicals, it is the top page of the IMM 1017B UPFRONT form. Clients must include this proof when submitting their visa application.
Since an IME is valid for 12 months, panel physicians should remind clients to submit their visa application along with the proof of having completed their upfront medical examination well before the expiration of the 12 months; otherwise, the client may have to undergo a second IME.
eMedical-enabled Panel Clinics
Panel physicians must first search eMedical for the client by their name and identity document number (e.g., passport number) to confirm that the client does not already exist in the system.
If the client does not exist in eMedical, click “create case.”
Enter the Client personal details (mandatory fields include Title, Family name, Gender, Date of birth and Country of birth).
Enter the Identity Document Details. Clinic staff will check identity with the approved identification document. (Note: a live photo of the client must be taken and uploaded to eMedical at a later step during the IME.)
Enter the Client’s Preferred Language.
In the “Proposed Visa Application Details” section, select the appropriate upfront category from the drop down list (student, worker, visitor or family EDE). Note: For refugee claimants in Canada, select the category family EDE, and scan and attach the document provided by the client.
Click “Create.”
Proceed to upload and attach client photograph.
Complete Identity Confirmation.
An “Information Sheet” letter will be system generated and must be printed and given to the client for submission to CIC along with the visa application.
Paper-based Panel Clinics
Panel physicians will use IMM 1017B UPFRONT paper forms, which have been provided to them and that are pre- populated with a UMI# and a barcode (see sample form in Appendix III).
Clinic staff will check identity with a valid government-issued ID.
Clinic staff must attach a client photo (provided by the client) to the form.
Clinic staff must select the immigration category by checking the appropriate box (student, worker, visitor, family EDE or refugee claimant (in Canada only)).
Page 1 of the IMM 1017B UPFRONT form “Copy to Client” must be completed and provided to the client for submission to CIC along with the visa application.
Page 2 of the IMM 1017B UPFRONT form “Copy to Health Branch” must be completed and submitted to the RMO along with all other IME forms (e.g., IMM 5419, chest x-rays, lab results, etc.).
Note: It is very important to ensure the correct page goes to the client and the correct page goes to your RMO.
