Non-SDS with an upfront medical: what to put in the medical requirements section

Canada • Study Permit • study 0 views
By VisaBuddies Communityvia community — compiled from public visa forums

Documents Needed

  • eMedical information sheet

    Provided by the panel physician after an upfront medical — upload this in the medical requirements section.

  • Medical consent form

    The fallback upload if you haven't done an upfront medical yet.

  • IELTS (General accepted under non-SDS)

    One applicant in the thread submitted General Training scores for a non-SDS application.

Step-by-Step

A non-SDS study permit applicant who had already completed an upfront medical asked what to attach in the application's medical requirements section.

  1. If you did the upfront medical: upload the eMedical paper (the information sheet/receipt) the panel physician gave you. That document is the proof the medical exists in IRCC's system.


  1. If you hadn't done the medical at submission time: one member described the alternative flow — upload a consent to undergo the medical in that section, then, after completing the exam, send a webform asking IRCC to attach the eMedical document to the application. Her suggestion for those who already have results: include the consent form and the eMedical sheet in the same PDF to cover both bases.


  1. On language tests under non-SDS: a side question in the thread — whether IELTS General Training is accepted for the regular (non-SDS) stream — was answered by an applicant who submitted General Training scores with their non-SDS file. (Historical note: the SDS/non-SDS distinction was later discontinued; the document-upload mechanics above reflect the process at the time.)


The simple rule: whatever stage your medical is at, the medical requirements slot should never be empty — it holds either the proof it happened or the consent that it will.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Do: Upload the panel physician's eMedical sheet in the medical requirements section if you completed an upfront medical.
  • Tip: Medical not done yet? Upload a consent form, then webform the eMedical document to IRCC after the exam.
  • Don't: Don't leave the medical requirements upload empty — attach proof or consent, combined in one PDF if needed.
