6.1 Will
I have to take a medical exam? All prospective immigrants to Canada are
required to undergo medical examinations. These examinations are intended to detect
any conditions which may affect the health of the Canadian public, or which may
result in excessive demands being placed upon the Canadian health care system.
The medical examination includes a standard physical examination, blood tests,
urine tests, and X-rays.
6.2 Will
my application be rejected if I have a certain disease or disorder? Each
medical case is analyzed individually, taking into account your full medical history.
If the disease or disorder poses health risks to Canadians or places excessive
demands on the Canadian health care system, it may result in medical inadmissibility
.
6.3 If I am pregnant, will I
still have to undergo the medical examination? For the safety of the fetus,
X-rays are not taken of pregnant applicants until after delivery of the baby.
After the birth, the mother and infant will undergo medical examinations.
6.4
Can my dependents undergo the medical examination in another country? The
examination is given around the world by designated medical practitioners. Regardless
of the visa office to which the application was submitted, the services of any
such practitioner may be used.
6.5
Will my non-accompanying dependents be required to complete medical examinations?
Non-accompanying dependents are required to undergo medical examinations,
as are accompanying dependents. If a non-accompanying dependent is unwilling to
undergo a medical examination, it may be possible to have the individual exempted.
However, such non-accompanying dependents will not be eligible for subsequent
sponsorship as members of the Family Class.
6.6
Recently I completed medical examinations for my Canadian visitor visa/student
authorization/employment authorization. Must I complete additional medical exams
for my permanent resident application? If medical examinations were taken
less than one year before you applied for permanent residence and you were positively
assessed as M1 or M2, additional medical examinations may not be required.
