Yes you can get Medical exams whenever you want irrespective of ITA.
EE profile creation, EE profile submission, ITA are NOT a trigger point to schedule and conduct medical exam.

You can get medicals done first (if that's what you want). Medicals are logged into CIC database by the hospital/approved doctor. They'll provide you with a unique number. Post ITA while filling your PR form, you'll need to put that unique number. Once you submit your PR, post-AOR, they'll retrieve your medical information from their database based on the unique number you provide in your PR.

P.S - Just be aware that you'll have 1 year from the day of your medical results to enter Canada. So if you get your medical tests done in May, but get ITA in September, get your CoPR in December, you'll have only 4 months to enter Canada
Full form of CoPR please..

Hey....does it makes sense to go for medical exams near the end of 90 days period for example after 65-70 days after receiving ITA so that one has a bigger time frame to plan their landing in Canada.

Thank you. But, honestly, I don't know what is ECA. Can you please help me understand what ECA is.
ECA stands for Education Credential Assessment. You need to submit transcripts of all your education starting from graduation to either of WES, IQAS or ICAS body to get it verified for Canadian equivalency. Preferable is WES. You need to create an account on WES Canada website, pay the fees and den send transcripts, photocopy of degrees, passport copy and ECA reference number to WES. Entire process takes 1- 2 months

Hey guys, It is clear that once we get PR, we need to move to Canada before the expiry of medicals. But, is there any time-limit for which one has to stay in Canada before returning to his home country(like in my case, India)? And, for how much time one can stay in their home country when returning from Canada after getting PR and landing in Canada.
Please advise.
Thanks.
You can stay as long as you want in India after you land in Canada as a PR. However, to maintain your PR status you'll need to physically be present in Canada 3 out of 5 years from the date you became a PR.

It depends on your strategy, and availability of appointments for medical examination. If you are sure you want to enter Canada as soon as you get PR then get your medicals done sooner.
If your strategy is to have a PR as a backup option and explore other avenues (such as working in another country, or getting maximum revenue out of your current job etc.) then go for medicals 65-70 days after your ITA, that way you'll get maximum time to take care of your pending matters before you enter /land in Canada

You have 90 days to submit e-apr. But do note that downside of delaying will mean pr process will take that much longer. So its all about your priorities, if you don't mind processing taking longer it's ok to do as you said.

Thanks for replying.. For how long do I need to stay in Canada when I first land in Canda after getting PR before I can return back to India? Thanks.

As @DelPiero07 said, you can return as soon as you complete your landing procedure. However I would advise you to wait in Canada until you receive your PR card which may take up to 60 days. Else, you have your PR card sent to any of your relatives and have it mailed to you in India.
You'll need PR card to re-enter Canada.

Is anyone familiar with NBPNP? Can I register and attend for their information session/job fair eventhough my occupation is not listed in their in demand occupation list? Will my application also be considered as second priority as long as i have attended the information session in the last 2 years?
