Appendix D
Medical Instructions
Everyone included in your application, whether accompanying you or not, must undergo a medical
examination with a physician on the list of designated doctors. If you are a divorced or separated parent, a
minor child of whom you have joint or sole custody is considered your dependent child, even if he or she
usually lives with the other parent and is not accompanying you to Canada.
Instructions for this examination will be provided after your application has been assessed by a
Canadian Visa officer.
After you receive the necessary medical forms, you and your family members must undergo the necessary
medical examinations with one of the doctors on the list of designated doctors unless you and/or your family
members live in a country not included on this list. If you wish to have your medical examinations in a
country not included on this list, please inform us and we will ensure that you receive the appropriate list.
You will be responsible for the costs of the medical examination for all your family members.
Please note that, at the time of the medical examination, you and all family members will be required to
present individual passports as evidence of identity. If each of your family members does not already
have an individual passport, you should apply to obtain them now.
Applicants may, at any time, request that medical instructions be issued, and may undergo an immigration
medical examination, at their own risk. It is important to note, however, that undergoing an immigration
medical examination does not guarantee that a permanent resident visa will be issued.
The permanent resident visa has the same validity period as the medical results, that is, 12 months from the
date of the first examination or test.
