Medical surveillance

During the medical examination you had before becoming a Canadian resident, you may have been told that you needed another medical examination once you got to Canada. This is known as medical surveillance for people who have an infectious disease that is not active.

If you are one of these people, you must report, by telephone, to the public health authority of the province or territory where you live within 30 days of entering Canada. You will find this number in the blue pages of your telephone book. This is very important for your health and to protect the health of your fellow Canadians.
