SPOUSE SPONSORSHIP - Medical Examination

[Janix]

Hi there,

I just need some clarifications here,
I am bout to sponsor my wife, does it really need a medical examination upon submission of application?
as far as i recall, clinics in the Philippines requires a request letter or proof from Canada Immigration Office.

base on the Guideline (Country Specific Instructions) :
PROOF OF MEDICAL EXAMINATION
Include for yourself and each of your family members, proof of completion of the upfront medical
examination from the Panel Physician

does it mean that my wife's family members should undergo also medical exams?
or just family members who are accompanying her to Canada?

Please Help...

Family members means spouse and dependent children. Any of those family members must do a medical, regardless of whether they are accompanying.

She has got separated from her ex-husband.

Hi

She must tell the Panel Physician office that she is doing an upfront medical for a Family Class application.
