Hi folks,

Can we make use of CIC medical exam fees for tax deductions under medical expenses?

If it is not covered by any insurance company, then yes;
If it is, then no.

Thanks, Saskatchewan_Regina. I checked with my insurance service provider (Manulife Insurance), they don't cover immigration medical exam itseems.

I lost the CIC medical exam receipts, so I got a photocopy from the physician's clinic. Will that be good enough?

Also, I could see in my payroll that I pay for insurance and my employer as well. Will I able to claim the x amount I paid for insurance? This amount didn't appear in T4.

No, you can't claim your immigration medical as a deduction, as it was not medically required.

By any chance do you have reference to this?

It's on the CRA website. It must be an eligible medically necessary procedure.

Call CRA.
