SINP Outland.
I believe the inland cases will be faster than Outland, especially under current circumstances and travel restrictions. Inland applicants are in any case already in Canada.
Even though we are inland there are still lots of applicants. Though I heard from a lawyer very recently, that IRCC is trying to speed up the process, she knows someone whose PR took 18 months. Lets hope that will apply to us
It is not permitted by CIC to do. It is all our choice whether we want to do it or we want to wait for Medical Request.
Also, nothing is mentioned online that someone who did upfront medical got punished or harmed. Nothing is mentioned officially anywhere on CIC's website.
Keep only 1 thing in mind. Medical results are valid only for 1 year.
I actually spoke to an Immigration lawyer recently and she also said it is ok to get medicals done upfront but also emphasized about the 1 year validity. She advised I wait a few more months, as IRCC will not need it until later in the year.
