Hi There,

I am a New Zealander applying for a Canadian Working Visa and am at the IEC Eligibility Assessment stage.

A medical exam is required if “have lived or travelled for six months in a country or territory listed below in the year before you come to Canada”

Argentina
Belize
Bolivia
Brazil
Ecuador
Peru

I will be spending a total of 8 months (After I have applied and received my Port of entry letter) in all of the countries mentioned but no more than a couple of months in any one of them. Does this mean i need to get a medical? Or is it only if I spend longer than 6 months in just ONE of these countries.

PLEASE help with this, it's impossible to get an answer out of anyone in NZ!
Cheers,
Rose
 
Does no one know the answer to this? It seems like it's just a matter of interpretation but don't want to get denied when I get to the airport!
