You are getting ahead of yourself.
Moe's advice is good. However, proof of previous immunizations/vaccinations would be of little benefit (for you or the med pers performing your enrolment medical) until you are actually accepted, enrolled and have arrived at St. Jean for BMQ. That is when the mean people with blunt needles ( [
I used to be one) will want to poke as many holes into you as possible. Needle parades are a process and anything that would disrupt that process is best introduced as close to the event as possible for the simple reason that direct attention can be given to the objection (and objector) by the personnel who will actually be responsible for providing that medical service.

They will give you a form letter requesting the information about the diagnoses that have them concerned.

You have been advised to relax a couple of times, now, FinnO25. You have also been advised about what to do. Please follow this direction, or you are going to cause yourself difficulties in the future.
Also, use proper capitalization.

Hey everyone! I have additional medical forms to fill out concerning previous injuries. I was told to have it filled out by a physiotherapist, so I went to the place I usually go to, only to be told after a week of waiting that they cannot fill them out because they are just athletic therapists. I just called an actual physiotherapist that I used to go to, but was told that they also can't fill out the form (something about a referral...?!)
I've read on here about people with similar forms to be filled out and having it done by a regular GP wasn't enough, so now I don't know what to do. I left the medical dept a message a couple of days ago, but I know they're busy and I want to get this done ASAP.
Any suggestions?

I don't work in recruiting, but something that might work is if you get your "athletic therapists" to write a discharge summary, basically a short report of what they treated you for, what they did and what they feel your prognosis is.
What recruiting is looking for is confirmation that your injury is healed to the point that you are not anticipated to have any future issues stemming from it.
And then explain what they said to your recruiter (that they fell they cannot fill out the proper form) and with this discharge summary Recruiting may find this enough info to proceed.

As "athletic therapists" were a new one to me, I looked up what they are. https://athletictherapy.org/en/becoming-an-athletic-therapist/education-and-certification/
I can see how one who used such services could confuse them for a physiotherapist, especially if the
https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/91p37
I haven't found any indication that "athletic therapists" are a regulated health profession in any Canadian jurisdiction. The closest is probably "kinesiologist", which is now a regulated, self-governing health profession (in Ontario, at least) but my reading of it is they do not include those who call themselves "athletic therapists". Even so, the scope of practice of a kinesiologist would seem to preclude him/her from providing a report that "diagnoses" a condition.
https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/07k10
I don't know if there have been any push back or conflict between physios and athletic therapists as regards what athletic therapists do but my supposition is that any athletic therapist would be hesitant to provide a "medical report" that seemingly encroaches on the scope of practice of a regulated profession. As well, remembering how conservative CF medical authorities were in the acceptance of non-regulated and alternative therapists, they may be slow in recognizing the contents of such a report.

Yeah, they're giving me that kind of paper, but I doubt it's enough. The doctor from my medical appointment gave me detailed forms and said that they need to be filled out by a physio.
I actually called my physio's office and explained it in more detail to someone else. They said that the physio can fill out that type of form, no problem. Hopefully this person is right. We'll see at my appointment Friday

The place I go to is a clinic at a university where the therapists doing the evaluations are students and must confirm with their supervisors on the treatment. I thought that the supervisors were actual physiotherapists... it was never fully explained to me. Well, they were helpful at the time, but yeah what a waste of time it's been for this situation. Especially since one injury is from 6 years ago and they're taking forever to find the info to give to me
