About Dr. Eric Strandberg
With over 25 years experience as a certified Panel Physician representing the immigration medical departments of the IRCC (Immigration and Refugee Commission Canada), DHA (Department of Home Affairs - Australia) and INZ (Immigration New Zealand), Dr. Eric Strandberg is privileged to have the opportunity to offer a practice location dedicated to the timely and efficient performance of Immigration Medical Examinations for these 3 countries.
With medical exam, laboratory services and radiographic (chest xray) capability in a single location, our goal is to provide flexibility and a seamless, worry-free experience for our immigration exam clients.
Immigration medical exams for all three countries are submitted through the secure eMedical web portal, a joint venture which has been in usage since 2014.
Similarly, we will continue to provide specialized merchant marine examinations for the Norwegian Maritime Authority, with documentation and certificates issued through their secured web portal.
Aboout the exam
Canadian Immigration medical exams fall into two general categories:
“Upfront”
For the majority of work, student and visitor visas, upfront medicals allow visa applicants to obtain their medical exams simultaneous with gathering of other documents and clearances for the IRCC visa office.
At the time of their clinic visit, each visa applicant (and family members) will be provided with a personal “UMI” (upfront medical identification) number, issued on an eMedical Information Sheet document which they will subsequently forward to the visa office. This UMI number is the key to connect Immigration Medical exam results to the overall visa application.
(In limited instances, some work, student and visitor visa applicants will have already been issued a 1017B form with an IME (Immigration Medical exam) number, and the medical exam will be submitted under this number rather than a UMI number).
Family Class/EDE
All family class/EDE (“excessive demand exempt”) visa applicants will complete their visa application priorto being asked to schedule their Immigration Medical examination. When given clearance to do so, they will be provided with a 1017B form on which is documented a personal IME (Immigration Medical Examination) number. Examination results will be submitted under this number, which will have already been entered into the eMedical system.
Standardized exam components for all applicants include a medical history and basic physical exam, urinalysis (ages 5 and above), single view chest xray (ages 11 and above) and blood tests (ages 15 and above). Certain preexisting medical conditions may dictate additional limited laboratory testing.
