Can I Complete
My Student Visa Medical Exam Before Applying?
Yes. Many students complete an upfront medical exam before submitting their study permit application.
If you are applying from outside Canada, completing your medical exam early may help avoid delays in processing.

After your exam, we submit your results electronically through eMedical and provide confirmation for your records.
Can I Do My Student Medical Exam Inside Canada?
Yes. If you are already in Canada on valid status or if IRCC sends you a medical request after you apply, you can complete your Immigration Medical Exam at an approved panel physician clinic such as IMMEDEX.
Your results are submitted electronically to IRCC through eMedical.

FAQ - Student Visa Medical Exam Canada
Read our most Frequently Asked Questions about Immigration Medical Exam, Costs and Services.

The medical exam appointment usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes. Results are submitted electronically to IRCC within 5 to 7 business days through eMedical, which helps reduce processing delays.
Can I use my family doctor for my study permit medical exam?
No. The exam must be completed by an IRCC-approved panel physician.
What happens if I fail my medical exam?
In most cases, students are not refused for minor conditions. IRCC reviews results based on public health guidelines. If further information is required, you may be contacted.
Do minor students need a medical exam?
Some minors may require an IME depending on country of residence and length of stay.
Do I need a chest X-ray for a Canadian student visa?
