Just tell them it is an upfront medical for immigration (Permanent Residency)
They will give you an info sheet after the medical (make sure to ask for it). You upload the scan of that info sheet in your Express Entry profile to prove you did the medical. The panel physician will send the medical results directly to IRCC.
If you are in Toronto go with visadoctor.ca, I got my appointment in 2 days, and medical was done in 1-2 hours
Unfortunately, I dont stay there. I am in Alberta. But I am still unsure if its ok to do upfront (as it adds on to the document) or should I just wait for ita. Also, I havent made my express entry profile yet. I will make it in december. I just wanted to be prepared to avoid delays as everything is running slow now due to covid. Any advice?
Hi, I am in the same boat as you. Is it better to wait for ITA or do it before ITA ? also, how much is its validity. Can you please give your input ?
Hi, can you please tell me how to start PCC process thru BLC center in toronto ?
IT IS okay to. You don't need any document from IRCC to perform an UPFRONT medical exam, that is why it is called 'UPFRONT'.
I got mine done about 2-3 weeks before even submitting my profile and getting my ITA, all you need is to find a physician and bring your passport.
There is no better or worse. Validity is one year, so it is of course better to plan to have it done at around the time you'd be expecting to get your ITA. It might be a bad idea to do it 6 months in advance, but doing it a couple weeks before will probably save you some time down the road.
