Don't mean to burst your bubble but the decision made does not necessarily mean approval. It could be a decision on your initial assessment or security checks (unlikley). You need to wait for feedback from the visa office processing your case - there may be a requirement for an interview or further documentation likely to be updated work references and evidence of settlement funds. You will be requested to undertake a medical only after receiving a favourable decision at the selection stage. The final approval of your application will be done after:
1. A favourable selection on initial assessment/ after interview if required.
2. Passing the medical. You can take the medical at any designated medical practioner including those in the UK. Costs will vary but will inlcude x-ray and blood test fees as well as the check up fee - London will be more expensive than other areas. As a ball park you are looking at the 3-500 GBP mark. Such tests are not covered under the NHS so forget that
. You are normally expected to take the medical within 90 days of notification by the visa office.
3. Passing the security clearance - you may be requested to submit a police clearance certificate from the UK.
4. Paying your landing fees - 975 CDN payable to the 'Receiver General for Canada". Your visa post may allow the payment in local currency.
You must land before the expiry date on your immigrant visa.
Other things to consider - review the job market in the occupation you intend to follow in Canada and brush up on your language skills if applicable (disclaimer - I am not saying your English is bad
).
Your Q is Can PR or HSMP better is best answered by you reviewing what you want in life and how this can be best achieved in either country. Both visas have a residence requirement and many who try to have both ending up losing out. You may wish to review historic posts on this by 'bellaUK' I believe.
