CANADIAN IMMIGRATION MEDICAL EXAMINATION REQUEST FORM

Canadian Immigration Medical Examination Form

Requirements

[caldera_form id=”CF584e53c62900d”]

“As of December 15, 2016 it will be the responsibility of Panel Physicians to ensure that Upfront Medical Examinations are only conducted for Students, Workers, Visitors and Express Entry applicants. All other applicants should be advised to await instructions from IRCC. To comply with this new process, Panel Physicians are not to book new Upfront Medical Examination appointments for Family Class applicants. A new application process for spousal and dependent child sponsorships comes into effect on December 15, 2016. As part of this updated process, Upfront Medical Examinations are no longer required for Family Class applicants being sponsored as spouses, common law partners, conjugal partners or dependent children. After this date all Family Class applicants using the new process will be issued medical instructions which include an Immigration Medical Examination number generated by IRCC.”

97% of cases are submitted to the IRCC within the 10 working days turnaround time.

The other 3% delays are due to candidates needing to obtain additional reports pertaining to medical conditions.

98% of cases are submitted to the IRCC without any further information being requested.

The other 2% (returned cases) were due to additional information being required pertaining to medical conditions, ranging from additional specialist reports, to copies of scripts.

We cannot advise, guide or comment on any of these factors and suggest to contact the following company that may be able to assist further with these types of matters:

 

Deanne Acres Director, RIRCC, Canada Abroad

Do I need to make an appointment for this or can I just walk in? How far in advance should I schedule an appointment?

An appointment is certainly necessary for this type of medical. Generally speaking the first available appointment will be offered to you, however this could range from the next couple of days to possibly a week or two or three – the general rule would be to allow at least for 10 days in advance.

I cannot access / complete the online application form?

At times, candidates encounter delays / system hanging / general hassles with the completion of these forms as they are working from behind a company firewall that does not allow them full access to this site. In the event you are having issues with the online form, please try again using ADSL or 3G services.

I don't have an IME / UMI / UCI number, can I still proceed to have a medical?

Yes, an Upfront Medical will be done. When submitting paperwork to the embassy / visa office, you must include a copy of your final information sheet with your application.

What happens if I am menstruating or I am pregnant?

Portions of the medical examination may be delayed / need to be repeated, if traces of menstrual blood is found at the time of the urine screening. The medical can continue with the test repeated at a laboratory close to you, at a convenient date and time, ensuring the results are submitted to us. If pregnant – and you do not wish to undergo the x-ray examination required as part of your application, your examination will be put on hold, pending the completion of the x-ray before your immigration medical examination can be finalised.

I am currently on prescription medication, is this a problem?

The medical can continue, but we will require a written report from a prescribing physician indicating the condition for which you are being treated and their expected medical management plan.

I had surgery out when I was 3 years old, I am now 43, is this a problem?

The medical can continue, however for any life changing operation / surgery done, we will require a written report from a physician indicating the condition and the current status / medical management plan.

The Service Provider can supply on request a copy of the final summary report that is submitted to the Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) per person attending the appointment.

Who makes the final decision on my Medical?

The Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) makes the final decision on the outcome of the Medical. If you applied online, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will contact you through your MyIRCC account. If you applied on paper, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will contact you through the contact information that you entered on your application form.

Can I claim back from my Medical Aid for the Consultation, Blood Tests and X-rays ?

In the event that you intend claiming these back from your Medical aid, please check prior to attending the appointment if your Medical Aid will settle these claims relating to an Immigration Medical. Each Medical Aid is different and has different policies. To note, you will receive invoices on the day of the Consultation, however it will be your responsibility to settle the amounts directly with the various Service Providers and then submit the claim to your Medical Aid if you choose to. No discussions / queries from Medical aids will be entered into.

Can I use this opportunity to have my annual medical done, have additional blood tests done, update any scripts that I need etc ?

No. Please set up time with your consulting Health Practitioner for these services. The sole purpose of this medical is for the evaluation for a Canadian Immigration Medical. The consulting Doctor will confirm what additional tests are deemed necessary if the need arises.

Can someone watch my children, while I am in the Consultation with the Doctor ?
No. In the event, you are bringing children with you to the appointment, please also bring along a person (child minder / family member) to assist with looking after the children during your consultation. Parents are asked to note that there are other medical professionals working in close proximity and noise levels should be kept to a minimum at all times.
I will be expecting an important call so I need to have my cellphone on during the consultation with the Doctor ?
Certain cellular and mobile device frequencies may interfere with the medical equipment thereby giving incorrect readings relating to your medical health. Please make arrangements that all cellphones and mobile devices are switched off during the Consultation to ensure undisturbed communication is maintained with the Doctor that is examining you.
Do I have to bring my passport with to the Consultation ?
Yes. Proper identification (proof of identity must include at least one government-issued document with photograph and signature, such as a valid passport that was submitted at the time of the application) must be brought to the Consultation. TO NOTE, WITHOUT VALID PROOF OF IDENTIFICATION, THE APPOINTMENT WILL NOT PROCEED!
I currently have / previously had a medical condition, should I bring a report ?
Yes. Please ensure any medical reports or test results that you may have as a result of previous or existing medical conditions are brought to the consultation for any relevant medical related matters ie recent operations, prescription medication etc. Failure to do so will delay the processing of your medical examination.
Do I need to bring photos with me ?
No. Digital photos will be taken at the time of the Consultation for each application for the online e-medical system used by the IRCC.
Is there a canteen / tea-room / restaurant available on site ?
No. The closest restaurant / shops are across a main road. Please ensure that you bring water / juice / food with you (especially for the children) as the medical process can be seen as long.
Is there somewhere for my children to play on site ?
No. Please ensure you bring books / toys etc with you to keep them entertained as the medical process can be seen as long.
Will it be up to the Doctor to decide if I pass the exam or not ? Can I bring the Doctor chocolates and flowers and ``bribe`` my way through the exam ?
No. The IRCC makes the final decision on the outcome of the Medical. The Doctor works strictly according to the online e-medical system and will try to proactively assist with highlighting the need for specialist reports necessary. To note : Any form of bribery will be noted and flagged immediately with the IRCC thereby rendering your application null and void.
Can I submit an application even though I don`t have my passport with me ?
No. Without a valid passport, your application will not be processed and an appointment will not be made.
I want to know the status of my application / approval of submission – who do I contact ?

Once a panel clinic has submitted your health examination results to IRCC, any further queries about your visa application and/or your health examination results should be directed to your IRCC visa officer. Staff at a panel clinic will not be able to help you with these queries.
