Medical Exams for Express Entry in Canada
All immigrants applying through Express Entry must complete a medical exam as part of their application for permanent residence (PR). The results must be included with their PR application. This is called an upfront medical exam.
For Express Entry, an upfront medical exam is required for the principal applicant as well as their spouse, common-law partner, and any dependent children – even if their family members are not accompanying them to Canada.
The medical exam is only required for the PR application. It is not required to create an Express Entry profile.
Update: the requirement to get a medical exam hasn’t changed, but there have been some major updates to the timing requirements for the exam.
