PR Express Entry 2022 - Can I do the 'Upfront Medical' even before receiving ITA???

[Mayu11]

Hi All,

Can I give the new upfront medical exam for Canada PR even before receiving ITA?

Background: My PGWP expired this May 2022 and have applied for extension. My CELPIP is expiring on 16th Oct 2022 which I do not want to re-take. My CRS score is 498 and I live inside Canada.

I am suspecting the points to go down 500 in another 2 to 3 draws from the last one(Aug 31st, 516 score). I have all my documents including PCC ready except for my medical.
Even if I receive an ITA few days before 16th Oct I am hoping to get all my docs online and hit the submit button. Hence the question. I did google search but nothing turned up relevant.

Can someone please advise?
P.S - I do understand it is so unpredictable and random here. But if things would follow in the same way, want to know if it is a possibility.

Thanks
Mayu

Yes, you can. I ll suggest to take an appointment for mid October. If there is any change of plans, just reschedule the appointment.

Are there more updates on this medical examination criteria and if it is in effect currently for applicants in Canada?
