1- A valid passport or passport that has not been expired for more than 1 year, or a copy that is certified by a Canadian Visa Office

2- National ID Card

3- Canadian Driver’s License

Please also bring your Interim Federal Health (IFH) documents if you are a refugee.

Yes, please bring the following IRCC paperwork with you to your medical:

1- Medical Report – Client Biodata and Summary IMM1017

2- Express Entry Invitation Letter

Please note that you can still complete an Upfront Medical if you do not have the above paperwork

Please bring the following to your medical:

1- Any glasses, contact lenses or other corrective lenses you need to see clearly

2- A list of your current medications

3- Relevant reports and test results for your medical health conditions

You can still have the medical but your panel physician will counsel you on the risks and benefits of having a chest X-ray done during pregnancy. If you do not wish to have a chest x-ray done whilst pregnant, you can complete all the other parts of the exam first. Your case will be submitted after you have the required chest x-ray following the birth of your baby.

You are not required to fast before your appointment but applicants over the age of 5 will need to submit a urine sample, so please be prepared for this and arrive with a full bladder.

Your blood sample is tested for HIV, Syphilis & Creatinine. If you have certain medical conditions, additional blood tests may be done but this will be discussed with you by your Panel Physician.

You are able to have a chaperone for the full length of the exam. This can be either one of our caring staff members to help you feel comfortable through the process, or someone of your choice that you bring with you.

Our panel physicians usually submit cases within 5-10 days of your exam being done. All results are sent directly to IRCC. If you have any questions related to your immigration status following this time period, please contact IRCC directly and not our office.

In these cases IRCC requires more information (sometimes further tests or assessments) in order to process your documents. You can book a Furtherance appointment with one of our Panel Physicians who will be happy to help you.
