We’ve put in place a temporary public policy for immigration medical exams (IMEs) until October 6, 2024.
If you completed an IME within 5 years of submitting your new application, include the IME number (or the unique medical identifier number) from your previous exam in your current application.
You may be exempt from completing another IME if you meet all of these conditions:
You applied, or are applying, for either permanent residence or temporary residence
You already live in Canada
You completed your previous IME in the last 5 years
Your previous IME indicated a low risk or no risk to public health or public safety
You generally don’t need a medical exam unless you plan to work in certain jobs in which public health must be protected.
Examples of such jobs are
1. Jobs that bring you into close contact with people, such as
Workers in health care settings
Clinical laboratory workers
Patient attendants in nursing and geriatric homes
Medical students admitted to Canada to attend university
Medical electives and physicians on short-term locums
Workers in primary or secondary school settings, or workers in child-care settings
Domestics
Workers who give in-home care to children, the elderly and the disabled
Day nursery employees
Other similar jobs
2. agricultural workers who’ve visited or lived in one of these countries for 6 months or more in a row in the year before they came to Canada
You need a medical exam if at least one of these applies to you:
You have lived in or travelled to one or more of these countries or territories for 6 months or more in a row in the year before you come to Canada
You’ll come to Canada to work in a job in which public health must be protected

If you need a medical exam, the visa office will tell you what to do next.

You must see a doctor on the list of panel physicians. Your own doctor can’t do the medical exam.

You can either get your medical exam before or after you apply.
