Fraud prevention

The integrity of the immigration medical examination process is based on verifying the identity of applicants presenting themselves for an examination and ensuring that all official records correspond to the correct individual.

DMPs can help to prevent fraud by following procedures when filling out forms, educating their staff about these procedures and incorporating quality assurance processes into their practice wherever possible.

A stamp with a unique number is issued to DMPs. This stamp must be used to authenticate each Medical Report completed by the DMP and is also used to indicate that the DMP has verified the identity of applicants. The stamp should not be shared with other practitioners and is to be used only by the DMP to whom it has been issued unless authorized by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
