IRCC updates the list of countries requiring medical examinations for temporary residence applications

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has revised the list of countries requiring medical examinations for temporary residence applications, effective November 3, 2025. Four countries—Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, and Venezuela—have been added to the requirement list, while six territories —Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iraq, Latvia, Lithuania, and Taiwan —have been removed. The changes affect individuals who have resided in or travelled to these nations for six consecutive months within the year before arriving in Canada. Applicants for parent and grandparent super visas, those planning extended stays beyond six months, and workers in public health-sensitive occupations must complete Immigration Medical Exams regardless of their country of origin.
