Medical Exams - outland but done in Canada

[vctbs1107]

Guys, one quick question.

We're applying outland São Paulo Office, however since Im already here in Quebec, I think I'll do my exams here.
I think it's okay, right?

And is there a validation?

 

[amikety]

Yeah, that's fine. Not sure what you mean by validation, but the doctor will give you a form to include with your application.

 

[Harju]

Make sure the Dr. knows it is an outland application.

I dont understand it much.

So at the medical exams, I'll say its for the Sao Paulo Office and they'll send my exam there? And I get a confirmation?

So, when we send all the papers, I'll have a receipt saying that my medical exams are in Sao Paulo?

tell the doctor that you are doing the outland procedure, and when asked, tell him it's Sao Paulo office. He will give you a paper to confirm that you have done the medicals, and you add that to your application. You don't get the results, they are sent directly to Sao Paulo. You don't really get a confirmation directly, but once you have sent everything to Mississauga, and got the sponsorship approval you will be able to check your status online, and you might have a line that reads "medicals have been received". nothing else...
Good luck,

Thank you so much for the answers. I just called a couple of doctors and they said they send the documents to Ottawa.
I tried to explain I was doing the “outland” process and they said they send to Ottawa.

Can someone confirm that? Or they don’t know much.
I know that if they send to Ottawa for after send to Sao Paulo, it’s gonna take more time.

I think this is correct. There is a central office in Ottawa that processes all the medicals no matter which country, and they do the actual analysis of medicals and write up the summary of results that is then sent to your VO which would be in San Paulo. So i wouldn't worry here.

It's all done electronically so should be very fast.

 

[vctbs1107]

Oh okay. I understand it. But probably the exams will arrive first than our documents

 

[vctbs1107]

Guys, I have another question.

My exams will be sent in 5 days to Ottawa, but I think I'll just send our application in like 3 weeks.

You think there's a problem? Because it takes around 60 days for the first part.
But my medical exams will be already there.

Is that okay?

yes, it's OK, it's not a problem. Your medicals results will arrive at the VO before your file, and they "wait patiently" there! and they are matched up at some point ( it used to be when the file arrives at the VO but now with the procedure it can be done even before).

I did my medicals in February 2012 and sent my file in April. Sponsorship approval was 3 months at that time, so my file got to London VO in July - and it was not a problem. So a few weeks difference is not an issue! just make sure that you get the paper from the doctor to add to your application so it can be matched up.
