Do I need a medical exam to enter Canada?

[yodnokzo]

I didn't have to do one for my study permit to get approved, and on my online study permit application, it says that they don't need a medical exam from me. However, according to this Do I need a medical exam to study in Canada? (cic.gc.ca), I have to do one if I will be staying in Canada for more than 6 months.

Will be asked about my medical test in the airport?

You need a medical exam if in the last 12 months you have been in one of the designated countries for 6 months

search here, if you do come from a designated country then you need a medical.

Thanks for the reply, but what about the link I attached: Do I need a medical exam to study in Canada? (cic.gc.ca)? Is it outdated?

if while submitting your application you werent asked for a medical it means at that point in time medical wasnt needed for your study permit. BUT only if you have after your study permit approval spent 6 months + in a desginated country in last year then you need a medical.
The link you have posted I think means that you need to be BOTH (1) from a designated country and (2) plan to be in Canada for more than 6 months

That's strange because the third condition in that link ends with "or" not "and".

See here

If you plan to stay for more than 6 months
You need a medical exam if at least one of these applies to you:

• You lived in one or more of these countries or territories for at least 6 months in a row within the last year, or
• You’ll come to Canada to work in a job in which public health must be protected (see jobs for which you need a medical exam), or
• You’re applying for a parent and grandparent super visa.

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

Thanks. That seems more detailed and accurate.

The "and is implied between point 1 and 2.
In your case - No, you don't need a medical
