Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has recently updated its guidelines regarding the countries and territories requiring an Immigration Medical Exam (IME) for those seeking temporary residence in Canada. With four additional regions added to the list and six removed, this change aims to streamline the process and ensure that all necessary health evaluations are met according to the latest standards.

The updated guidelines impact temporary residence applicants from various countries. Those from the newly added four countries must now undergo an IME, while applicants from the six removed countries are no longer required to do so. This reflects Canada's evolving immigration policies that prioritize public health and safety.
