Panel physicians play an essential role in the immigration process by ensuring applicants meet the medical requirements set by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). These assessments help confirm that individuals are medically cleared to apply for visas, residency, or citizenship. By conducting standardized and government-approved examinations, panel physicians support a safe, organized, and efficient immigration process for applicants coming to Canada.
