Medical Exam in Canada (merged)

[Elderflower3623 0]

I just learned that both myself and my 7 year old need Covid19 vaccines ( done in the last 12 months) as well as seasonal influenza (flu shot) done. 

Does anybody have more information on this? How strict is this? Is there any flexibility in not getting these done and proceed with medical exam?

Seasonal influenza vaccine is usually only required during flu season.

 

Other vaccines depend on age. 

 

It's possible to request a waiver, it usually add about a year to the process.  If you search the forums for vaccine waivers, you'll get more details on how to proceed/what's required.

I would like to understand if my Covid vaccines that I receive outside of Canada will be accepted by the doctor who will be performing my medical examination for the k1 visa?

Do I need originals of the vaccines certificates or copies are sufficient? Also do these vaccine certificates need to be translated, notarized etc? 

 

Thank you for your clarification.

Call the civil surgeon's office to clarify. The vaccinations should be accepted, but it depends whether the proof you have is sufficient.
