As of October 1, 2023, you No Longer Need to get an Upfront Medical Exam Before you Submit Your Application for
Permanent Residence through Express Entry.
If you’ve never completed an IME,
- upload a blank document in the upload field of the Express Entry Profile Builder when submitting your application, and
- wait for IRCC to send you further instructions on when to get your medical exam
IRCC won’t approve your permanent resident application if your health
- is a danger to Canada’s public health or safety
- would cause too much demand on health or social services in Canada
