Can anyone use a emedical that he had to get for his pgwp to apply for this stream, if that emedical is still valid?
If you already completed an IME
If you have already completed an IME as part of a previous application (example: to work or to study), you may not need to complete another one when you apply for permanent residence.
When the panel physician completed your exam they would have given you an:
- information printout sheet, or
- IMM 1017B Upfront Medical Report form
Please provide a copy of one of these documents or your IME or UMI number from your previous medical exam when you apply online. It does not matter how long ago you had your exam.
If we cannot use your old results, we’ll send you instructions on how to get your
medical exam done after you submit your application.
If you have never completed an IME
If you have never completed an IME before, you should complete the exam before you apply or as close as possible to the date you submit your online application.
When the panel physician completes the medical exam, they will give you an:
- information printout sheet
- IMM 1017B Upfront Medical Report form
Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, some panel physician offices may be closed or have limited appointment availabilities. If you are having difficulty getting your IME completed before you apply, please provide:
- proof that a medical appointment is scheduled, including the name of the panel physician and the date and time of the appointment; or
- a letter of explanation of best efforts.
