Why is the IME necessary?
The IME is necessary to protect the health and safety of Canadians, as well as to ensure that immigrants do not unduly burden Canada’s health and social services with medical conditions that require extensive treatment or care. In addition, by identifying medical conditions early, the Canadian government can prevent the spread of infectious diseases and provide appropriate medical care to those who need it.
