Will I need a medical exam?
In some cases you will need a medical examination. If a medical examination is required, you will be informed by an officer who will send you instructions on how to proceed. A medical examination may add over three months to the processing of your application.
The officer’s decision is based on the type of job you will have and where you lived in the past year.
If you wish to work in health services, child care, primary or secondary education, you will need a medical examination and a satisfactory medical assessment before a work permit can be issued to you.
If you want to work in agricultural occupations, a medical examination will be required if you have lived in certain countries.
