Medical exam question

[Ramii]

Hello everyone, I have a question concerning the medical exam, do I have to perform it before submitting my application? Thanks in advance

Yes, if you already have an ITA, i.e. before submitting eAPR.

It is not recommended to do the medical before ITA.

I got an ITA, but I have scheduled my medical exam yet, I thought it was required post submitting my application

 

[Dexmoody]

No. Once you get to your document checklist, you will see that you have to upload proof that you did the medical.

You must do the medical before submitting the application.

Thanks for the help my friend

That's the case under the old paper system. You would send your application then CIC would contact you and ask you to get a medical done.

I am Ontario nominated and stand at 1000+ score. Have Not yet received ITA though.
Got my medicals done today.
Any harm :O ?

That's because there hasn't been a draw since you accepted your nomination, hopefully you'll get an ITA in the coming draw.

No harm, but but it's better to get the medicals done as close to the application filling date as possible.

Did the same thing. Hope there is no harm. The next draw should probably be in a few days, hopefully

There is no harm, but you have to land in Canada before the medical expires. Medicals are valid for one year. Since processing time for eAPR can be 6 months or more, that only leaves 6 months to land (or less).

That's why most people do the medical just before submitting their application so they have the maximum time to land.

Thank you for the great answer. It definitely makes sense now.
However, I think most of us dream about landing as soon as possible
