Hi everyone, I am appying soon for PR under CEC as near to complete 1 yr job exp in Canada. Just gearing up for TODO's in anticipation. Below is my residence history:
Since Birth-2011: Pakistan
2011-2012:KSA
2012-2017: Italy
Since 2018: Canada
Would medical be compulsory in my case, although it was not required when I applied for WP online from Italy.
Thanks!

Isn't it related to our stay in designated countries for certain period? If I remember correctly while applying for WP there was similar question about it which I answered NO, and resulted to:you don't need medical....now for PR it would differ?

Thank you very much for the detailed references. Really appreciate that, so I would go for upfront medical. Two following questions:
  • What would be the best right time to go for upfront? Before ITA i suppose?
  • Any good dr. in toronto with nominal fee and would do quickly like e-medical stuff?

-If your expecting your ITA soon you can go ahead now.. medicals are valid for 1 year
-You will have to google the panel physicians in your area and book an appointment with them

Perfect, so as soon as I complete 1 yr and gain points in EE, will go for upfront medical in parallel.

Found some will contact them.
Thanks a lot!!!!

Many CEC inland applicants didnt got for medical examination, as they found themselves in their application as Medical Examination is NOT REQUESTED!

You need to do medical around the time you get your ITA irrespective of applying under CEC, PNP, FSW

Sorry, just read this (below) on the IRCC website? I am inland CEC applicant! still can i do upfront medical exam for my spouse and the kid?

Get your exam before you submit your application

Are you applying to sponsor your spouse, partner or child?
A new application process for the spousal sponsorship program came into effect on December 15, 2016. Spouses, partners or dependent children can no longer do an upfront medical exam. Wait for our instructions before going for your medical exam.

That is in regards to the sponsorship program not Express Entry.
