If you want to become a Permanent Resident in Canada you will also have to take a medical examination by an approved physician. You will receive instructions on where to go for your medical examination after your application has been submitted. Generally you will not know the results of this exam unless it is discovered that you have some health problem. All of the documents created in the course of this examination will be the property of the Canadian Immigration Medical Authorities.
Panel physicians can be found within Canada by calling the CIC call center, or internationally on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website.
Immigration can be a difficult process, but ImmigrationDirect.ca exists to make it as easy as possible on potential immigrants to Canada.
