Medical condition certificate - do I really need this?

[flx2015]

The document checklist says that the sponsor needs a medical condition statement "if a dependent child included in the application is your adopted son or daughter".

From what I understand, they're saying that a medical condition statement is needed if we're including dependent children in our sponsorship application. Is this the only case when it's needed? Do I need one if I'm only sponsoring my spouse?

The Medical Condition Statement is essentially a statement you sign indicating that you are aware of any adoptive child's medical condition. No, you do not need this for your spouse

Your spouse still DOES need a medical exam, so just make sure you're not confusing the two concepts
