Medical Paperwork

[wmaitner]

I tried a search, just to let you know. I am confused as to what paperwork I have to take with me to the doctor. I think he said something about schedule a and two pics or schedule c and four pics? I really don't understand what I am supposed to bring with me other than me and cash. Can anyone help me figure this out?

How about calling the doctor's office and asking?

If you are applying outland as a spouse you need to bring a completed appendix c along with 5 pictures to the medical appointment. The Designated medical professional will give the the form IMM 1017 at the appontment. This is the process for people in the U.S. ouland applications. I just did my medical today and the dr. only wanted 4 photos, but I would bring 5 to be on the safe side.

How to proceed
If you are required to undergo a medical examination you must follow these steps
Step
Action
1
Make an appointment with a Designated Medical Practitioner (DMP) for you and each required family member.
2
Fill out Appendix C and bring it and the following items if applicable for you and each of your family members to your medical appointment:
•Appendix C
•Passport and photocopies of the biographical data pages (this is the page that shows the date of birth, the country of origin, etc.)
•If no passport is available, provide an official identity document bearing a photo and the date of birth of the family member
•Eye glasses or contact lenses
•Previous medical reports, prescriptions or treatments
•5 recent photos, taken within six months preceding the date of your examination
•Immigration client identification number (ID #), if known
3
The DMP will give you Copy 2 of the Medical Report: IMM 1017 EFC - Medical Report Section A. Include the original of Copy 2 with your application. (Photocopies will not be accepted.)
4
The DMP will send your results to the appropriate medical office for processing

I'm sorry to anyone who thinks my questions are stupid. I am trying and considering this is our first attempt at this, it is sometimes hard to understand what is expected of me, especially with so much contradictory information out there. So if anyone else wants to hit me with call the doctor and ask, go for it. I just thought that that what was what this board was about. Asking questions of people who have been through this or are going through it. Maybe I was wrong....

That is precisely what these boards are for, I think some of the posters could use a lesson in sensitivity. Please feel free to ask any and all questions, this is the place to find help and support for a very difficult and confusing process. You are among friends.

Don't feel bad about the person's comment. I understand your frustration, I just had to ask what visa office I hade to put on my Appendix c yesterday. I was happy that someone responded with th answer (which was buffalo, NY). I was confused becauseI will first be sending my papers to missassagua, ON then it will be forwarded to buffalo. If that was not confusing enough I found out that all the medicals are sent to Ottawa to the regional medical office. So they are many locations names so you are right to be confused about the medical process. Keep positive and feel free to ask more questions if you have them.

Um, I apologize if my suggestion came on as abrupt, but I was actually being sincere. A DMP deals with immigration medical exams and usually they are best at explaining what you need to bring for what exam. I don't think your question was stupid. I've had immigration medical exams done in Canada and in Korea. Each time I called the doctor's office to ask them how long the exam would take, what sort of tests were involved, what they would be looking for, what I needed to bring (including which form and how many photos), how much it would cost, and when I could have the results. I figured they would be better informed than me, especially regarding any region-specific requirements there may be, and they were. If you don't have access to a phone line, well then I apologize for being "insensitive".

Sorry, your comment hit my snarky sarcastic bone. I just know my wife has gotten some very rude responses on this board before and I misread yours. I'm usually not that quick to bite back, I just have to drive to the Detroit area tomorrow after work for my medical and didn't want to show up with the wrong paperwork. Heather and I really do appreciate all your help.
