What are the medical tests required for a Canada PR visa?

Everyone must undergo the medical test, not just the main applicant- the spouse, dependents, and children. Even if you are going to Canada as a temporary resident getting a medical test is mandatory.

The list of the test include

  • Eyes,
  • Nose,
  • Heart,
  • Lungs,
  • Chest X-rays,
  • Blood tests for HIV, TB, and Syphilis
  • Urine tests  – issues such as diabetes are tested through this test

At the time of the medical test, any major health issues in the past should be checked with the doctors. The doctor will provide a positive report if there are no grave issues.

In some cases, if a female applicant is pregnant, then there is no need for the X-Ray test to ensure the better health of the foetus. However, after giving birth, there are certain tests that both mother and newborn child should give.

Where to get the medical test done?

In your home country, you can visit the centers that are approved by the IRCC and are listed in the panel.

  • The doctor should be listed in the designated panel of approved IRCC physicians, and they should know how to conduct the immigration medical examination
  • The doctors should be authorized to conduct the exams and issue health certificates

Canada wants only healthy people to migrate to the country. Unhealthy applicants will only serve as a burden on the social infrastructure of the economy. After the medical test, if there are any issues that come to fore, it is best advised to seek immediate medical help from doctors and get oneself treated. After one gets better, one can apply for Canada immigration.

The test result is valid for six months from the date of issue, after which, if the applicant is not selected, then the applicant should retake the test.
