1. General physical examination (Weight, height, hearing, eyesight, general reflexes, blood pressure, etc.)
2. Mental examination
3. Review of past medical history

4. Other conditions and disorders that are difficult to categorize or there is a lack of sufficient medical information
Evaluating Medical Inadmissibility
All immigrants to Canada must hold a medical clearance that indicates that they are not inadmissible on health grounds. Procedures for evaluating medical inadmissibility can be quite complex, and each person's condition is reviewed on a case-by-case basis taking into account the applicant's full medical history. Before determining whether an applicant is inadmissible on medical grounds, an officer must conclude that the applicant's health condition is likely to be a danger to public health, public safety, or place excessive demand on health and social services in Canada.
The Citizenship and Immigration (CIC) officer who is assessing the applicant's health condition is required to consider the following:
1. Reports made by a health practitioner or medical laboratory with respect to the applicant's health condition
2. The communicability of any disease that the applicant is affected by or carries
3. The impact that the disease could have on other persons living in Canada
4. The risk of a sudden incapacity or unpredictable or violent behavior of the applicant that would create a danger to the health or safety of persons living in Canada
Medical Surveillance and Treatment
If you are diagnosed to have a certain medical condition after your application is approved, you may be placed under a medical surveillance and treatment program in Canada. An officer may impose, vary or cancel the following conditions with respect to your health condition:
1. To report at the specified times and places for medical examination, surveillance or treatment, and
2. To provide proof, at the specified times and places, of compliance with the conditions imposed
Rejection of Your Visa on Medical Grounds
You application for permanent residence may be rejected on medical grounds, if it is concluded that you or your dependent's health
1. Is likely to be a danger to public health or public safety
2. Would reasonably be expected to place excessive demand on health or social services in Canada
3. Would prevent you from supporting yourself and your depe
