Hi,
Request expert advise on my situation please.
My husband, currently working in Canada is trying to initiate a dependent open work permit for me. I am currently based out of US in H1B visa. The designated Canada immigration medical examiner in my area is asking to have IME# for scheduling an appointment. As per my husband's employer they suggested that IME# is not required and the scenario comes under 'upfront screening', but as per medical examiner, the upfront screening is only eligible for express entry on PR. Please advise where or how can I get IME#.
PS: Believe I will be exempted from this medical checkup if I am in US for at least 6 months.
Thanks,
Lipi Prasannan.
