Why upfront medical? A medical exam is not required for UAE applicants if lived in UAE for more than 6 months. It is required only if requested during application review, which is rare.

The govt. of Canada website clearly states that IME is not required for TRV applications from UAE, if one has resided in UAE continuously for last 6 months.

IRCC > Find out if you need a medical exam > Country: United Arab Emirates - IME: No
