Medical admissibility

Why some applicants need an immigration medical examination.

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.

Check the official requirements

Program rules, eligibility, fees and processing times may change. This guide is general information, not legal advice or a guarantee of any outcome. Check the current government instructions before applying.
