If an applicant is seeking medical treatment in Canada, the applicant should submit proof from the treating physician indicating along with proof of arrangements have been made for the treatment.

The treating physician should be affiliated with a Canadian institution that provides the services required by the applicant. As a temporary resident, the applicant is not eligible for any health coverage.

Since the applicant will have already been accepted for medical treatment in Canada, he/she would be admissible as a temporary resident seeking medical treatment only. This visa can be given to a close relative/family member or a friend of the patient.

Please note that relevant letters/documents explaining details of the treatment, signed and stamped by the concerned register hospitals/doctors with the government, a declaration from the patient or an immediate family member is also required confirming the escort travel along with the patient.
