Can I do medical exam prior to submitting express entry profile?

[liujohnson118]

Hi,

I plan to apply for express entry through Canada experience class in September 2019. By September 2019 I will have 1 year of Canadian work experience and I think my points will be enough.

I know that until September 2019 I should not submit my express entry profile as I don't have 1 year work experience yet.

Just wondering if I can do the medical exam by a panel physician right now (i.e. June-July 2019) so that by the time I submit my express entry profile, everything will be ready.

Thank you!

It is normally suggested to do medical exam post- ITA because it has a validity of 1 year. Suppose you get ITA in October, and taking 6 months from then to receive PPR, you will be left with 2 months; hence, IRCC may ask you to do medical again. This will be a waste of money as you have to do it again and waste of time as well .
