Hi Everyone,

Last week I got some good news. I recently applied to sponsor my wife from Syria. She recently received a letter with the title "Request for Submission of Passport(s)". The problem is the letter also states that she needs to submit an Upfront Medical Exam. The issue is I have already provided this Upfront Medical Report when I initially forwarded her application. It has been less than a year.

The letter states:

"Dear Applicant,

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada. Please return this letter with the requested documents and information :

"Please note you are required to undergo the medical examinations, the medical reports and the medical instructions were sent to *************, separately. Please note that you are required to undergo the medical examination within 30 days of the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application. Please submit your Passport as per attached letter and instructions"

And I received another letter from CIC stating:

Medical Examination Instructions

These medical instructions are being issued since your application has been processed to the stage where medical examination results are now required. Please read these instructions carefully.

IMPORTANT:You are required to undergo the medical examinations within 30 days of the date of this letter.Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application. The medical examination must be performed by a doctor from the CIC list of Panel Physicians. You cannot choose your family doctor if his or her name is not on this list. See the list of Panel Physicians to find a doctor in your area at...


Can someone please tell me whether I really need to have her complete the Upfront Medical Report again? Or is this just standard practice that they ask for the medical report even though we've already submitted one.

Thank you,
 
When was her first medical completed?
 
Her first medical was done in March of 2015. I'm thinking it was not tied to her application even though I sent it with the package.
