Examination procedure

  • Our clinics use the eMedical system

Appointment time is approximately 180-240 minutes.

The IRCC may request additional tests not included in the initial examination.

Following your examination, you will be issued a document certifying that you underwent an Immigration Canada medical examination (IMM1017-B). This document will be posted on your patient portal and it will be your responsibility to retrieve it yourself. You will be notified when it is available.

Your examination results

Please note that it may take up to 10 working days for the results to be sent to Immigration Canada. Once the medical results have been sent to Citizenship Immigration Canada, the rest of the process is out of Biron's hands. We cannot guarantee the availability of your results. You will receive a notification as soon as your results are available on your patient portal.

When should I take my immigration medical examination?

You must undergo the medical examination within 30 days of the date of receipt of the invitation from the IRCC with a designated physician. It is the date of the examination that counts toward this deadline, not the date of receipt of the results of the medical examination. Biron allows you to meet this 30-day deadline for an examination with one of our IRCC-appointed physicians.
