What Is an Immigration Medical Exam?
An immigration medical exam (IME) is a health assessment required by IRCC for many permanent residence, work permit, study permit, super visa, and refugee applications. It must be performed by a designated panel physician — your own family doctor cannot complete it. The exam includes a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and laboratory testing, and the results are sent directly to IRCC through the eMedical system.
