An applicant asked how to book their immigration medical exam, what tests are typically involved, and whether borderline creatinine and elevated hemoglobin (17.6) levels would cause problems.
What the group advised:- Minor/borderline blood test variations are unlikely to cause a rejection. Medical inadmissibility is generally reserved for serious conditions that would create excessive demand on Canada's health or social services — not everyday borderline lab values.
- Book through an IRCC-approved panel physician. Use the IRCC website to search for the nearest approved medical center to schedule your exam.
Practical takeaway:- Don't panic over borderline lab results on their own — medical inadmissibility findings are typically reserved for significant, high-cost conditions.
- Always use IRCC's official panel physician locator to book your exam, since only approved physicians' results are accepted.
- If you have ongoing health concerns, it may still be worth discussing with your doctor beforehand so you're prepared to explain any results if asked.
