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?
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.
