Medical exam instructions
Your own doctor cannot perform the medical exam. You must see a doctor on the list of
panel physicians.
The panel physician will perform a complete medical exam and may refer you for chest x-rays and laboratory tests. Once your exam has been completed, the physician will send the results to CIC.
The panel physician does not make the final decision about your medical exam. CIC makes that decision. If there is a problem with your medical exam, the visa office will contact you in writing.
When you go to your appointment, you must bring:
- proper identification (you will need at least one document your photograph and signature, such as a passport, driver’s licence or national identity card)
- eye glasses or contact lenses, if you wear them
- any medical reports or test results that you have regarding to previous or existing medical conditions, and
- the Medical Report form (IMM 1017E), if you do not undergo an up-front medical exam. The visa office will send you this form.
You may have to bring:
- Four recent photographs. You will need to bring these only if the doctor you select from the list of panel physiciansdoes not work with CIC via the eMedical electronic system. Please check with the doctor’s office when you book your appointment.
Note: It is important that you tell the doctor about any previous or existing medical conditions. Processing your medical exam could take longer if you do not.
