You are in the USA? I am not surprised they wanted a referral from a family Dr, same as in Canada. You haven't been able to get that I presume? If you don't have a Dr you could try a walk-in clinic and explain the situation and get a referral that way.

All immigration related medicals are private costs. You will have to find someone who is willing to see you as a private patient and write a report to IRCC. The biggest issue is that there are long wait list for psychiatrists and OHIP services will take priority. You will need to call around and see who may be willing to see you as a private patient, what their fee would be.

Hello
I did a second medical with a new passport since the old one was suppose to expire in 2 months, when the medical report was sent to me, I saw that the passport number of my old passport instead of the new one I used for my medicals.
Do I have to worry about it ?
