Reusing an upfront medical from a cancelled Express Entry profile: upload it again, no webform needed

Documents Needed

  • e-Medical acknowledgement/information sheet

    The receipt from your earlier upfront medical — upload this same document in the new application.

Step-by-Step

An applicant's Express Entry profile was cancelled after an NLPNP nomination and upfront medical, then they received a fresh ITA on a new profile (noting the old EE profile and UCI numbers in it). How to connect the already-completed medical? The thread's answer was simple:

  1. Upload the same medical in the new application. The e-medical acknowledgement/information sheet from the earlier exam goes straight into the new EE application's medical slot.

  2. No webform, no LOE required. The poster asked whether to raise a webform to link the old medical or explain it in a letter of explanation — members who'd done it said no other action is needed; the sheet itself carries the e-medical reference IRCC uses to match it.

  3. Cross-reference your old identifiers. The poster had already listed the previous EE profile number and UCI in the new profile — sensible practice that keeps records linked.


Note: immigration medicals have a validity period (generally 12 months), so this works only while the original exam is still valid.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Do: Upload the original e-medical acknowledgement sheet in the new application — it contains the reference number IRCC matches on.
  • Don't: Don't raise a webform or write an LOE just to link a previous medical; members confirmed it's unnecessary.
  • Tip: Declare your previous UCI and profile number in the new profile so the files connect cleanly.
