Can my immigration medical exam results be reused for a second, unrelated application?

Often, yes, within the exam's validity period. An immigration medical exam completed with an approved panel physician is generally linked to the applicant in IRCC's system, and the results can typically be reused to support a further, otherwise unrelated application, provided the exam remains within its current validity period rather than needing a brand-new exam for every single application submitted during that time.

Whether reuse is accepted for a specific application still depends on the exam remaining valid and properly linked to the applicant's identity in the system, and on IRCC's current policy for the particular application type involved. An expired exam, or one that was never properly linked or recorded, will not be usable regardless of how recently it was completed relative to the new application.

Anyone planning a further application who already has a recent medical exam on file should check whether it remains valid and confirm it can be linked to the new application before assuming a new exam is unnecessary, since relying on an expired or unlinked result can delay the new application.
