Hi,
I recently received ITA and I will be doing my medical by next week. Is medical needed for my kid who is 1.5 years old. If yes, what tests will be taken for kids below 2 years?

Medical is required for kids. however, they will undergo general OPD only. No blood test, no x-ray and nothing else. Just OPD.

Thanks for your reply Happy to hear it's only general OPD for kids

Yes they do. The panel physician will decide which medical tests to do and which to exclude.

There are extra tests that might be requested only if very specific risk factors are identified. These are documented in the IME handbook at https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/panel-members-handbook-2013.html
