Many work permit and study permit applicants need an immigration medical exam. Whether you need one depends on how long you plan to stay in Canada, the countries you have lived in or travelled to, and the type of job or study program. Applicants working in jobs where public health must be protected, such as health care, child care, or school settings, generally need an exam.

The term “fail” is not typically used. The immigration medical exam checks whether a health condition could pose a public health or safety risk or place excessive demand on Canada’s health and social services. The panel physician records your results, but IRCC, not the physician, makes the final decision on your application.
