Question about Study Permit - Medical Exam Required or Not? Please help.

[etheorin]

Thanks for reading this post, first of all.

Next, some basic information - I'm Korean, I've been accepted to SFU for Fall 2018, and I've been living in Japan from last September (gap year).

And...I have a dilemma. This dilemma depends on several confusing webpages.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=441&top=16

This page states that I need a medical exam "[if I] have resided or stayed temporarily for six or more consecutive months in a designated country or territory in the one year immediately preceding the date you sought entry into Canada."

I stayed in Japan since last September (therefore fulfilling the condition in which that I lived in Japan in the year preceding the date I go to Canada), which is NOT a country where a medical exam is required.

BUT.

This page says that I need a medical exam if I: 1. "come from a designated country/territory for which Canada requires a visa" 2. "will be here for more than six months"

...of which I fulfill both, in that

1. I come from South Korea, which is a designated country that needs a medical exam
2. I'm going to university, which is going to be at least 4 years (if not more).

BUT again, on the page where one can search if your country is a designated country or not,

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...temporary-residents/country-requirements.html

It says I need a medical exam if:

1. " want to come to Canada for more than six months,
   [*]"and have lived or travelled for six months in certain countries or territories in the year before you come to Canada."
   [*]"You need a medical exam if there is a “yes” in the second column."
   

It's really confusing.

1. Yes, I want to come to Canada for more than 6 months.
2. Okay, I haven't went to any dangerous countries, except Japan, which is a country where medical exams AREN'T required.
3. Japan has a big fat NO in the second column.

So what the hell am I supposed to do? Excuse me for my language, but I'm just really, really frustrated. It's not really easy for me to get a medical exam right now, and I have to get answers fast if I do need a medical exam.

TL;DR: I'm a South Korean citizen. I've been accepted (not conditional) to SFU in Fall 2018. I've lived in Japan (and will continue to live) in the one year before I go to Canada to study. DO I NEED A MEDICAL EXAM?

Please reply. It'd be much appreciated.
