Who needs an immigration medical exam for Canadian immigration?
Most applicants for permanent residence, study permits longer than six months, work permits, and refugees. If you are not sure whether your application needs one, check IRCC's official guidance.
Can my family doctor do the immigration medical exam?
No. Only a government-approved IRCC panel physician can conduct immigration medical exams and submit results to IRCC — a family doctor cannot.
What tests are part of the immigration medical exam?
A physical examination with the panel physician; a chest X-ray for ages 11 and older; and blood tests for ages 15 and older. Some applicants may require additional testing depending on age and health history. At our clinics, all of these happen in the same visit, at the same location.
Can I do the medical exam before submitting my application?
Yes — an upfront medical exam can be done before you submit your application. If you are unsure whether your application type allows it, confirm with IRCC first.
How long does the immigration medical exam take?
Plan for roughly 1.5 hours, including the physician review, chest X-ray and bloodwork. Because everything is done on-site, one visit is normally all you need.
What happens if IRCC requests additional tests after my exam?
IRCC may ask for follow-up information or testing (called a “furtherance”). Return to us and we will complete the requested tests. We can explain what each test involves medically; questions about why IRCC requested it should go to IRCC directly.
Will I receive proof of completion after the exam?
Yes — you receive an Information Sheet with your unique medical case number (IME/UMI) after your exam. It is proof of completion and all your application needs. A printed copy of your full report is optional, for your own records.
Do I need vaccination records for the exam?
No — vaccination records are generally not required for an immigration medical exam completed within Canada.
How do I find an IRCC panel physician?
IRCC maintains the official list of designated panel physicians. Our physicians at both Toronto clinics are on it.
Are your physicians approved by the government?
Yes. Multiple panel physicians work at our clinics, each approved by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to provide immigration medical exams.
Do I need to fast before the blood test?
No fasting is needed. Wear a loose-fitting top so our technicians can easily access your arm for the blood test.
I’m pregnant — can I still do the exam?
Yes. Pregnant applicants may complete the exam, and can choose to defer the chest X-ray until after pregnancy. Our panel physicians will counsel you on the options.
Do I need to bring a passport photo?
No — we take a digital photo at the clinic. You do need government-issued identification (a valid original passport is preferred).
Can I just walk in?
Yes — walk-in medicals are available during all clinic hours at both clinics. Booked appointments get priority, so booking is still the fastest option.
