Ifyou have case specific questions about a file, you are encouraged to submit the [CC Web form. Please see our response to your question. The requirements for medical exams are the same for both TRV and Super Visa holders. In both cases, the requirement to hold a valid medical exam is dependant on how long a visitor intends to stay in Canada, and where they travelled to and/or were living for the last 6 months before coming to Canada. Clients who want to come to Canada for more than 6 months and who have lived in or travelled to one or more of these countries or territories for 6 months or more in a row in the year before coming to Canada are required to have a valid medical exam.

Thank you kindly, [requester] De: Envoyé: [requester] A: Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[requester email]> Objet: [requester] Thank you for your response, Because the options to sponsor parents for permanent residency are very limited, Super Visas are crucial for family reunification, and understanding the re-entry requirements for Super Visa holders is more important than ever hence we are seeking clarification on their re-entry requirements For example, a Super Visa holder whose initial medical examination used for the original application has expired is now seeking re-entry to Canada for a short, three-week family visit after residing in El Salvador for the last 13 months. Would they require a new medical examination even though they are seeking re-entry fora short period 3 weeks for example. While | understand as you mentioned in your response that a regular TVR holder would not require a new medical examination in this scenario, | want to know if this is also the case with a Super Visa holder. ootr7t

Question received: | am writing to request clarification regarding the medical examination requirement for the Super [requester] per ministerial instructions and regulations, | understand that a medical examination is mandatory for Super Visa applicants. | understand that medical insurance has to be valid for each entry to [requester], | am seeking clarification on the validity period of the medical exam results. The IRCC website states that medical exam results are valid for 12 months. Does this mean that a Super Visa applicant must undergo a new medical examination every 12 months, even if they only visit Canada for a short duration (e.g., 2 months, 30 days, or 15 days)? Please clarify whether a new medical examination is required for every visit, regardless of duration, if the previous medical exam results have expired. For example, if a super visa holder visits Canada for 3 months, returns to their country of origin, and stays there for 13, months, would they need to undergo a new medical examination before returning to Canada for another 3-month visit? Approved response: Asa super visa holder, the requirement for anew medical exam depends on how long a visitor intends to stay, and where they were living for the last 6 months before travelling to Canada. if you plan to stay for 6 months or less, you generally don’t need a medical exam unless you plan to work in certain jobs in which public health must be protected. if you plan to stay for more than 6 months, you need a medical exam if at least one of these applies to you: *You have lived in or travelled to one or more of these countries or territories for 6 months or more in a row in the year

before you come to Canada. © * You'll come to Canada to work in ajob in which publichealth must be protected *You're applying for a parent and grandparent super visa If you need a medical exam, the visa office will tell you what to do next.
