Hello all, I got ITA yesterday. I have one question regarding the medical certificate. I have medical certificate, which taken for my work permit on October 15, 2016. It is still valid. Can I use the same for PR application. I hope, the format and tests are same in both cases. Please advise me.

As long as its Non-EDE medical report and less than 6 months, it should be fine.

What does NON-EXECUTIVE Medical report means?

It's simply an immigration category.

My medicals indicates that IME is non-EDE and upfront medical type is worker. Can I still use it for PR purpose.

 

[DelPiero07]

Yes, that's what it should be.

Yes, that's what it should be.

What if CIC does not accept the medicals. Will they reject my PR application or they will ask to do a new medicals?
