The government of Canada extended the policy that exempts some foreign nationals from having to complete an additional immigration medical examination as part of the application process for permanent residence. Eligible foreign nationals must have completed a health examination within the last five years and be found to pose no risk to public health. The extension will apply until 31 March 2022. Some foreign nationals will still be required to take a new medical exam. For a list of non-eligible foreign nationals, click here.?
