IRCC no longer needs an Immigration Medical Exam (IME) from Express Entry Applicants that have received invitations to apply. This change took effect on Sunday, October 1, 2023.
Previously, applicants were expected to attach a copy of their upfront medical exam in their profile builder while submitting their application as part of the requirements to be medically allowed into Canada. The upfront medical exam usually lasted for a duration of 12 months and if applicants do not get into Canada during this period, it is considered invalid.
This update is also extended to the family members of Express Entry Applicants.
