If you are applying for permanent residence through Express Entry, IRCC requires all Express Entry applicants to complete an upfront Immigration Medical Exam (IME) before submitting their permanent residence application. You must include proof of your exam in your online application.

Family members included in your application may also need to complete the exam, even if they are not accompanying you. You must include proof of your exam in your online application.

What counts as proof?

Upload the information printout sheet or IMM 1017B Upfront Medical Report that your panel physician gives you. Be sure to keep copies of all documents and reports for your records.

FAQ

Read our most Frequently Asked Questions about Immigration Medical Exam, Costs and Services.

What is An Immigration Medical Exam (IME)?

An Immigration Medical Exam is a mandatory health examination required by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for individuals applying for certain visas, permanent residency, or refugee status. The exam is conducted by an IRCC Accredited Panel Physician and includes a physical exam, blood tests (for HIV and syphilis), urine tests (for protein, glucose, and blood), and a chest X-ray (to check for tuberculosis).

What should I bring to my IME?

When attending your Immigration Medical Exam, you must bring your passport or another government-issued photo identification, any medical records or personal records related to significant health conditions, proof of prior vaccinations, and a list of any current medications. Additionally, bring the appointment letter or email confirmation if you received one from the IRCC.

How long does It take to get the results of an immigration medical exam?

The results of an Immigration Medical Exam typically take about 1 to 2 weeks to be processed. However, the timeline can vary depending on the IRCC Accredited Panel Physician’s office, the specific tests required, and whether additional medical information is needed. The results are submitted directly to the IRCC by the Panel Physician.

Can I fail an immigration medical exam?

While the term “fail” is not typically used, certain health conditions can make a person inadmissible to Canada. The Immigration Medical Exam assesses whether an applicant has a condition that could pose a public health risk, such as untreated tuberculosis, or a condition that could place excessive demand on Canada’s health and social services. The decision is made by the IRCC, not the Panel Physician.

How much does an immigration medical exam cost?

The cost of an Immigration Medical Exam varies by location and the IRCC Accredited Panel Physician conducting the exam. IMMEDEX exam prices range from $0 (refugee with valid ID) to $275 CAD. This cost usually covers the physical examination, chest X-ray, and required blood and urine tests. For the latest pricing details, click here to view our current rates.
