Where can students from Hong Kong and Taiwan complete an immigration medical exam?

Not every applicant needs a medical exam; the requirement depends on the length of study and individual circumstances. If one is required, it must be completed by an IRCC-approved panel physician. Hong Kong has IRCC-approved immigration medical clinics, while Adventist Hospital in Taiwan operates a dedicated visa medical-exam service. Whether an upfront medical exam is available, or you must wait for IRCC instructions, depends on the current process and your application. Book with a panel physician within the stated deadline after receiving instructions.

What to verify

• Follow the formal instruction in the IRCC account and the applicant's age, residence history and program circumstances.
• Medical exams must be completed by a panel physician; biometrics must be completed at an authorized VAC or designated location.
• Match the deadline, appointment location, passport details and application number to the instruction letter.
• Keep receipts, appointment confirmations and completion records, and watch for additional-document requests.

Planning advice

Do not infer a requirement from nationality alone or book with an unapproved provider. Once IRCC issues instructions, confirm the official location and deadline promptly.
