Hey folks,
I have a question regarding the necessity for the medical exam I am currently required to upload for my IEC working holiday application. On the CIC website I found the following information:
If you plan to visit for more than six months:
You will need a medical exam if you:
• have lived temporarily for six or more consecutive months
o in one or more of these countries or territories
o in the one year immediately before the date you want to enter Canada. (This applies even if you are a citizen of a country that does not need a visa to enter Canada.)
Referring to this information, I do not need a medical exam. However, in the interactive application, I am asked a thouroughly different question (section: Personal details – Immigration history and citizenship):
In the past five years have you lived in any other country or territory, other than the one you are a citizen of or where you currently live (shown above), for more than six months?
According to this, I do need a medical exam, as I have lived in Ecuador for twelve months between July 2011 and July 2012 for voluntary service (4.5 years ago).
I am wondering if there is a mistake, or why this contradiction exists? Since even the FAQ for the IEC application procedure refer to the link above.
I would like to be sure that I really need a medical exam, as it is very pricy (250€).
Does anyone wonder the same?
Another question is: If I intend to enter Canda in, let’s say August 2017, my stay in Ecuador will be more than five years ago. Do I still need a medical exam?
In the application the question is just like the above, so it doesn't care about the date I want to enter Canada. I am afraid if I click "No" to the question that I will be accused of defeit.
Any help is much appreciated!
