Designated Medical Practitioners for Canadian Immigration in United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain & India.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR MEDICALS.
IS THERE A MEDICAL REQUIREMENT FOR IMMIGRATING TO CANADA?
Yes. You and your dependents, whether accompanying you or not, must undergo and pass a medical examination. To pass the medical examination you or your dependents must not have a condition that is a danger to public health or safety or would cause excessive demand on health or social services in Canada.
WILL I RECEIVE A COPY OF THE MEDICAL REPORT AND THE RESULT OF THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION?
All medical reports and X-rays for the Immigration Medical Examination become the property of the Canadian Immigration Medical Authorities and cannot be returned to the applicant. The designated medical practitioner (DMP) will not advise you of the results of the medical. However, he/she will advise you if you have a health-related problem. The visa officer and not the DMP makes the final decision on whether or not a medical examination has been passed for immigration purposes. The visa office will inform you in writing should there be a problem with your medical examination.
FOR HOW LONG IS THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION VALID?
The medical examination is valid for twelve (12) months from the date of the first medical examination. If your visa is not processed in this time, you must undergo another complete medical examination.
MUST EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAVE A MEDICAL EXAMINATION?
Yes. All of your dependents who are not already permanent residents or Canadian citizens, whether they will accompany you to Canada or not, must undergo a medical examination.
CAN MY OWN DOCTOR DO THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION?
No. A physician on Canada's list of DMPs must do the examination.
MY CHILDREN ARE STUDYING ABROAD AND CANNOT RETURN HOME FOR THEIR IMMIGRATION MEDICAL EXAMINATION FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS. I DO NOT WANT TO DELAY MY APPLICATION. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Whenever possible, the same DMP should perform the medical examination of all family members. If this is not possible, advise the visa office that your dependents are abroad and the visa office will arrange to have their medical examinations done by a DMP closer to their place of study. The visa office will forward a copy of the Medical Report: Section A, Client Identification & Summary (IMM 1017) to them, with the addresses of their nearest DMP. The visa office will fill in the tombstone data and affix a photograph of your dependent to the form.
The Visa Office & Number section of this form (IMM 1017) must have the name of the visa office where your application is being processed. The DMP doing the medical examination of your dependents must also forward their complete medical reports to the same Canadian medical office that received your report. Your dependents' medical examination reports will be matched with your file, as the medical report form will carry your file number.
Note: Medical instructions will normally be sent to you after you submit your application to the visa office.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND "EXCESSIVE DEMAND" OR WHETHER MY AILMENT WOULD PLACE AN EXCESSIVE DEMAND ON CANADA'S HEALTH OR SOCIAL SERVICES. CAN YOU TELL ME MORE?
This term refers to the significant burden placed on Canada's health or social services due to ongoing hospitalization or medical, social or institutional care for physical or mental illnesses, or special education or training. Individuals may be denied admittance to Canada due to the high costs of their care. The factors considered during the medical assessment include whether or not hospitalization or medical, social or institutional care are required and whether potential employability or productivity could be affected. For example, a person with a serious disease or psychiatric disorder requiring ongoing care or hospitalization may be inadmissible because their requirements would place "excessive demand" on the Canadian health-care system. Individuals with developmental delay or congenital disorders who require special education or training to lead an independent life may also be inadmissible. Other conditions which could place a significant financial burden on Canada's health or social services would also render an applicant medically inadmissible.
CAN THE DMP ADVISE ME REGARDING MY APPLICATION?
No. The DMP is only responsible for conducting a medical examination in accordance with Canada's immigration requirements. The DMP cannot provide any advice on the immigration process.
