How Much Does an Immigration Medical Exam Cost in Toronto?

If you're applying for permanent residency, a work permit, a study permit, or a Super Visa in Canada, you may need to complete an Immigration Medical Exam (IME). A common question applicants ask is: How much does an immigration medical exam cost in Toronto? In this blog, we’ll break down the costs, what’s included, how to prepare, and why GTA Immigration Physicians is your best choice — offering competitive immigration medical exam pricing in Toronto, fast IME appointments, and a one-stop solution with all required testing conveniently located in one building.


Why You Need an Immigration Medical Exam in Canada

An Immigration Medical Exam (IME) is required by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for many types of immigration applications. It ensures that individuals meet the health standards for entry into Canada.

You must complete an IME if you are:

  • Applying for Canadian permanent residency

  • Coming to Canada for over six months from certain countries

  • Applying for a Super Visa for parents and grandparents

  • Applying to work in healthcare, childcare, or other high-contact professions

We offer some of the best-priced immigration medical exams in Toronto with no need to travel between clinics.

  • Physical examination by an IRCC panel physician
