DELIVERABLE Immigration Medical Exam
As part of the application for your Canadian Work Visa & Permanent Residency, you and your family members will be required to take a medical examination.
Information on medical instructions will be provided to you once you receive your assessment notice.
⚠️These medical results are valid up to 12 months from the date of your first medical examination so please confirm with your Immigration partner when to book your exam.
If your permanent residency does not get approved within the 12 months, you will be required to retake the medical examinations.
** Note that some people might be exempt from completing another immigration medical examination. You can find information about the IME here. Please confirm with your immigration representative if you have to take a medical examination or not. **
Who can do your medical exam?
For the medical examination, you will be required to see a doctor that is certified to conduct IRCC required medical examinations. To find the list of doctors, please click here.
Please note that the panel physician does not make the final decision about your medical exam, it will be up to the IRCC.
