    There is a list of occupations and some info about whether you need a medical on the medical pdf they provide as part of the application.

    Hi
    I've just received my year visa from Canada. I ticked to do a medical (because of my job). Can anyone tell me what I need to do next. Do I need to organise the medical myself now with a doctor or will someone contact me about the medical??

    Thanks

    I think you have to do a medical before you get granted your visa. However I am not 100% sure on that. I have tried everywhere searching for some information on it but I can't find anything. Most people had got the payment excepted and two days later recieved an email asking them if they needed a medical. However some people didn't get an email at all. Im in a similar situation in that I need a medical, I've had my second phase email but no medical email. My friend is in the exact same situation. Please post back here if you find out the answer.

    Thanks

    Well, I just got my visa this week from the High Commission of Canada and I didn't do my medical yet. I ticked the form saying I needed to do one so you don't do the medical before you get the visa. I'm unsure now as what to do next....

    Hey
    you'reright, you do only need it for those positions. The job that I have lined up is working with children in day care so I will need a medical. I too ticked the box to say I needed one. Just seems weird some people reporting having an email a few days after second phase confirmation and some people not getting one. Hopefully you can do the medical after you have the loi.

    Hi just a quick question. Was the email you supplied a hotmail account! I ask because apparently some people have had trouble receiving emails from the cic who have an hotmail account! I have one So i wonder if this explains why I haven't recieved an email regarding a medical!
