IRCC uses this single standard form for immigration medical examinations (IMEs) in all immigration categories. It records the client's biodata and immigration details, the IMM type (excessive demand exempt, non-EDE or refugee overseas), the IME grade and the panel physician's declaration. Only IRCC-designated panel physicians complete it, almost always in eMedical rather than on paper.
The panel physician grades the IME (A: no significant abnormal history or findings; B: significant findings, with mandatory comments), confirms the identity document was sighted, notes any identity concerns and signs the declaration with their panel physician number. The applicant signs the Client Declaration and Notice (IMM 5743), without which the IME cannot be submitted.

IRCC takes this form through its online services or your EMR, so there is no PDF to fill. Vero Scribe writes the visit note it draws on, so the details are ready when you complete it.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms change without notice, so download the current version from the official page before you fill it in.

No. Only IRCC-designated panel physicians can perform immigration medical examinations and complete the IMM 1017. Clients find a panel physician on IRCC's list; reports from their own physicians about existing conditions can be brought to the appointment and may help reduce processing time.
Grade A means no significant abnormal history or abnormal findings, and no comments are permitted. Grade B means significant abnormal history or findings, and comments are mandatory. In eMedical a system-assigned B grade cannot be changed to A, and IMEs for clients with abnormal HIV serology are graded B.
IRCC's Panel Members' Guide refers to the 12-month validity of the medical and tells upfront applicants to submit their visa application with proof of the exam as soon as possible after the appointment, so the application can be processed within that period.
