What to understand
Medical admissibility rules address risks to public health, public safety and, for some categories, excessive demand on health or social services. Exceptions and procedures vary by application type.
What to prepare
Follow IRCC's instructions for a panel physician, disclose medical history truthfully and respond to additional requests on time.
Important to know
A medical condition does not automatically mean refusal. Individual facts and the applicable legal standard matter.
