medical request question

[june1990]

hi,
we applied an inland common law sponsorship december last year and i got my OWP this April, now I'm just wondering when does CIC might send me a medical request? Roughly how long did it take for them to ask the applicant to have his/her medical examination done? Thank you so much

If you didn't already provide the medical, then they ask for it when your application gets the AIP stage. Look at the inland spreadsheet for the timeline of when AIP might happen. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Yn3BFzI4q4xAy4EW3pG4CgQz9o3EzF5b18_tcSJwBhA/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=1992004750

What I would suggest, and what we did, is this. We did not include medical with the application, and we are still waiting for AIP, but we just went and did the medical (as upfront) last week and will send it to be added to our file. The strategy is that when they get to our file for AIP, since the medical will be there (and they will not have to request it), that they do AIP and DM all at the same time. Fingers crossed.

can you proceed with the medical examination without CIC's request?

can you proceed with the medical examination without CIC's request?

Of course you can. It's called "upfront" immigration medical exam. Read this link for info http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp
