Has anyone taken advantage of this temporary policy on waived medical exams?
In-Canada applicants
We’ve put in place a
temporary public policy for immigration medical exams (IME)
until October 6, 2024.
If you’ve already completed an IME as part of a previous application, you may be exempt from completing another one if you meet
all of these conditions:
- You applied, or are applying, for either permanent residence or temporary residence.
- You’re already live in Canada.
- You completed your previous IME in the last 5 years.
- An IRCC medical officer found your medical exam as low or no risk to public health or public safety.
If you meet these conditions, include your IME number (or unique medical identifier number) from your previous medical exam in your application.
