Documents Needed

  • eMedical information sheet

    Proof you completed the upfront medical — send it to IRCC via webform and email if you receive an IMM 1017E request.

  • IMM 1017E form/request

    A medical-report request in your GC account; if you already did upfront medicals, it often means results weren't matched or transmitted.

Step-by-Step

An applicant did an upfront medical (4 June 2022, at a panel clinic in New Delhi), uploaded the eMedical confirmation sheet with the study permit application (lodged 7 June), then later received a GC-account message about 'medical report – section A client identification and summary IMM 1017E' — and didn't know what was being asked. The thread's diagnosis and fix:

  1. Most likely cause: the clinic hasn't transmitted (or IRCC hasn't matched) your results. The clearest answer: this usually doesn't mean redoing the medical. Contact the panel clinic and ask exactly when they transmitted your results to the embassy.

  2. Check your eMedical sheet for a "completed" comment. If the medical shows completed, the results exist and it's a matching/transmission problem, not a health issue.

  3. Send IRCC your eMedical information sheet via webform and email. That gives them the IME number to match the transmitted results to your application — the practical fix members recommended, rather than booking a new exam.

  4. Only consider re-examination if told to. One member raised the possibility that a request could signal something in the reports needing follow-up — but the consensus was to verify transmission with the clinic first and involve your consultant if you have one, before spending on another exam.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Don't: Don't book and pay for a new medical the moment you see an IMM 1017E request — first confirm with your panel clinic that (and when) your results were transmitted.
  • Do: Send your eMedical information sheet to IRCC via webform so they can match your completed upfront medical to your application.
  • Tip: Look for the 'completed' status/comment on your eMedical record — it tells you whether the issue is transmission/matching rather than the exam itself.
