About Immigration Medical Exams

Hello and welcome to Canada! We hope you are doing well and we are here to help you with obtaining a medical immigration exam! Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada aka IRCC may require you to see a panel physician such as Dr. Tony Salopek to conduct a medical exam during the immigration process to Canada. This exam is designed to get an understanding of your general health and determine if there are any major health concerns.
