Medical Exam in APR or After?

[ivand]

Dear fellow immigrants,


Yesterday I received the ITA andI have a question for you: is medical examination mandatory when submitting an APR?

I heard a lot of stories where people had been requested to submit their medical examination AFTER they submitted their APR.

The point is: I want to submit the APR, pass the medical examination (in 3 weeks, there is no clinic with sooner date in 100 miles radius around my city), and send it as soon as CIC request it. Thus, when I pass the medical exam, my application will be reviewed for 3 weeks already.

Otherwise, I will submit the APR only in 3 weeks together with the medical results.

Your application is NOT complete until you submit your upfront medicals. So yes it is required. You may fail the R10 completeness check for your PR application.

Thank you for your reply!

So how people are requested medicals after submission of the APR then? I'm confused

Is this something new and recent?

Some people do get contacted in case their medicals needs to updated due to a number of reasons. It does not mean that they didn't submit their medicals with the PR application, they must have, but rather their medicals need more assessment because of the uniqueness of their case.

Now I get it. Thank you!

There is although one exception, where you have a genuine convincing reason for not going to the medicals. Yes you can add LOE and explain it there, but it's rare

Now I get it. Thank you!

May I ask what's the reason you are encountering for the delay in your medicals?

There is a queue for 3 weeks from now with all local panel physicians. So the earliest available dates are in June...

pregnancy

This sounds like a genuine reason. usually the first and third trimester are the ones you gotta be most careful. I know you must have spend more time thinking about it than I did, but for the sake of clarity, when is your application due date? And did you ask the panel physician if they can get away with the X ray for now and update later?
