Hello,

A friend of mine got an ITA and is wondering if they need to get a medical exam (IME) done.

She came to Canada in 2018 on a student permit and had her medical exam done upfront at that time. She has been in Canada since that time, only leaving for a few weeks to go back to India for vacation.

I cam across the below on the IRCC website talking about a temporary exemption till 2024 which allows certain applicants to re-use their previuos IME:

So does that mean she doesnt need to get it done again?
