Exemption of certain foreign nationals from undertaking the medical examination

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has implemented a temporary public policy that exempts certain low-risk, in-Canada, foreign nationals from submitting an immigration medical examination (IME) as part of their application when their previous IME has expired.

This exemption applies to applicants who have

  • A new OR pending application for permanent or temporary residence
  • Completed an immigration medical exam within the last 5 years and posed no risk to public health or safety

This temporary public policy will end 24 months from the date of signature. This temporary public policy may be revoked at any time, without prior notice.
