Upfront Medical - Further medical information is required before a decision can be reached.

[DrDan]

TIA - I gave my upfront medical on 7th July and later was asked for sputum collections, unfortunately, I could not make it to the IOM center. Later, IOM asked me that they can not hold for long my medical and have to submit it, and I would only be allowed for further tests if the visa office requested that. I received submission email on 14th July. Later today, on 26th July, I received email from Visa Office instructing "Further medical information is required before a decision can be reached."

Could someone guide me, should I lodge my SDS visa application in parallel or wait for medical to be cleared, which according to my research on this forum would cost another couple of months. I have seen a member on this form whose study permit was approved and landed in Canada and is under medical surveillance there, this sounds to good to be true?

Im confused in your last paragraph when you wrote "should i lodge my application in parallel or wait...." why not take further tests and ask clinic to submit to the IRCC, my apology if i misunderstood

Hi Simba112, I meant to say - should I apply for visa, meanwhile I undergo tests with IOM? Trouble is my classes would start on Aug 29, and my IELTS would expire on 15 Nov this year. Hope this would have cleared ambiguity, and that's the reason I am asking for parallel process guidance.
