Wrong Medical Form??

[qiksilver]

Hi:

I am an American married to a Canadian and processing in Canada. I just received the request and instructions for getting the medical exam from the CIC. The form they sent me is "IMM 1017 E GCMS" and it is not stamped "EDE." As a spousal applicant, I understand that I am "excessive demand exempt" and therefore will not have to have any other tests than a routine physical. Should I phone CIC and request the proper form or does it matter?

I admit I am freaking out here a little. I think I am healthy, but you never know. My husband and I really can't afford a bunch of extra tests, either.

Thanks in advance for your help!

That should be the correct medical examination form for excessive-demand exempt applicants from within Canada. It even lists "Vegreville" as the Case Processing Centre, so you should be ok using that one.

PDF form can be found here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM1017SCLE.pdf

Not true... yes you are excessive demand exempt, but you are not danger to public health, danger to public safety exempt, if you do the medical and the CIC wants more tests you will have to have them you can not have anything that could cause an outbreak... TB is the highest ranked on the list right now, you will not be denied but will have to receive treatment and be cleared before you application goes any further.
But the link Farfelu posted should be the one you want.

Thanks for the answers.

I am pretty sure I don't have TB or any other communicable disease. I'm not worried about having to take extra tests or undergo treatment for that.I merely want to avoid things like an extra EKG to prove my heart isn't damaged because I have high blood pressure.

Should I even disclose that I have high blood pressure which is well controlled with medication?

The DMP will ask you if you are taking any medication, and if you have any chronic disease... so yes, you should tell him/her. it's not a reason to not have your visa, and so it won't harm your application, and it's best to stay truthful - and in addition the DMP will probably see that you have high blood pressure when performing the checks during the medical visit.
