Does my partner or children need medicals, blood tests and chest x-rays?
We have been informed by immigration that unless your partner will be working in the health or education field, or s/he has a pre-existing medical condition, s/he will only require a chest x-ray. Children 11 years and over require a chest x-ray and a medical exam, but no blood tests. Children under 11 must have a medical examination only, and no blood tests. If children are turning 11 during the visa process, they require a chest x-ray as well.
