Hi, got ITA and working through the application and coming from the US. For Supporting Documents, one of the documents is "Proof of medical exam (required)". It goes on to say:
"You require a medical exam. Learn how to get an upfront medical exam. In order to submit your online application, you will need to upload the information printout sheet or the IMM 1017B Upfront Medical Report form. Your doctor will give you one of these forms when you complete your medical exam.
If you cannot get a medical exam before the deadline to submit your work permit application, you may submit proof that you have a scheduled an appointment. "
Click on the link and it takes you to the "Medical exam requirements for temporary residents (visitors, students and workers)" page.
It then says "If you plan to visit for more than six months:
You will need a medical exam if you:
have lived temporarily for six or more consecutive months
in one or more of these countries or territories
in the one year immediately before the date you want to enter Canada. (This applies even if you are a citizen of a country that does not need a visa to enter Canada.) or
will come to Canada to work in an occupation in which public health must be protected. See below for jobs for which you need a medical exam.
apply for a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa."
I go to the "countries or territories" link and see that it says the following for the US "Immigration Medical Exam (IME) required: No" and also says "Medical Office: Ottawa".
So what gives? The page it links to seems to indicate I don't need a medical exam but the application says I do? Also, if I need one, do I seriously have to go all the way to Ottawa to have one?
