Hello!
Did you guys also get this email from IRCC? I wonder if it's just a simple notification for all IRCC clients or it's something else.
Btw I needed an IME because I completed the previous one more than 5 years ago so I did it before submitting the application, and then added the form as an additional document to my application.
Exemption from Having to Complete an Additional Immigration Medical Exam
Dear client CAN000.............,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has put in place a temporary public policy that exempts some low-risk, in-Canada foreign nationals from having to complete an additional immigration medical exam as part of their application for permanent residence or for a permanent resident visa.
If you have completed an Immigration Medical exam (IME) within the last 5 years, include your IME or UMI number when you submit your online application for permanent residency. IRCC will process your permanent resident application with your previous medical exam results and notify you of next steps.
If you have not previously completed an IME, please complete one before you submit your application.
Thank you for your interest in Canada.
Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
CAN000XX.. its to all applicants who have profile in Express Entry pool. They basically trying to say if you have one "within" last 5 years, you don't need one (in-lands folks) and mention your IME in the application (that is after EE ITA) and if you don't have one or has been expired, then get the medical done before application submission in EE.
