Maybe it could be that they do it in Asian countries more than in our European countries with cool climate. You guys in Asia have a tropical climate with tropical diseases, so it could be that they're more strict there (like with the user who did it in Singapore?). But that's just an assumption...

I just hate going to the doctor or them touching me, it freaks me out. Last time I went I was like 7 years old and that was because my mum forced me. Since then, (as far as I remember) I haven't been to any doctor. I'm just very uncomfortable with this.

Yours sounds kind of acceptable to me. Do you think that it's in general lesss strict/exact when it's done outside of Canada, for example in Switzerland?

Do I really get a work permit after studying there for 4 years? That would mean 7 years of Canada without having PR for sure?! That's a good perspective:) And could it be that I don't need the medical exam when I apply for permanent residence after these 7 years, because then I already stayed...

I plan to study in Vancouver, starting next year. Are we allowed to work with only a study permit? Thank you

I'm definitely not staying at home, because I can get a study permit without ever having a medical exam. However, my parents will get Permanent Residence right away because of their jobs and I would get it too, because of them. I could stay in Canada on a study permit, for the 4 years I'll study...

I will go and do it as far as I can personally accept it. A"split second", as one of you said, is not acceptable for me. It's not only about the duration, it's about justification and I don't see how it's 100% justified to do that simply for immigration. We're not aliens, we have the same body...

Ok thanks, can anyone tell me the name of a government-approved doctor in Canada or Switzerland/Germany/Austria who does not do it (if you went and your personal experience was that they didn't do it, could you give me the contact details of them?)

So in the answers, it looks like it depends. If the doctor would want to do it, can I say no and leave and then go to another doctor (who maybe wouldn't do it)? Or is it only valid the first time?

Hi future Canadians, Next year I want to start my Bachelor's Degree in Canada, because I love this country. As a Swiss citizen, I would not need a visa medical exam for a study permit. However, I do need it for permanent residence. My parents will immigrate to Canada next year, and I can get...
