PRE-APPLICATION MEDICAL EXAMINATION – UNIVERSITY
Students applying to Canadian Universities may have their medical examination before
submitting their Study Permit application by visiting one of the Designated Medical
Practitioners (DMP) in India.
It is not mandatory to complete a medical examination prior to submission of your
application. However, doing so may result in faster processing. Medical results are valid
for one year. Do not undergo a subsequent medical examination if you had one in the last
year.
After completion of your medical examination, the DMP will provide you with one copy of
your medical examination form. This form must be submitted together with your Study
Permit application.
PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION UNTIL ONE WEEK AFTER YOUR MEDICAL
EXAMINATION IS COMPLETED.
Submission of this form does not guarantee approval of your application. Do not make
any commitments until your Study Permit application has been approved. All costs for the
medical examination are payable by the applicant and non-refundable. You must submit
your application at the visa office responsible for your area of residence. Failure to do so
will result in multiple delays due to the necessity of file transfer.
