Yes, you can absolutely use a Canadian panel physician for your Australian visa. In 2026, Australia and Canada continue to share the eMedical system, allowing approved physicians in Canada to upload your results directly to the Australian Department of Home Affairs. 

However, you cannot use just any Canadian doctor. You must book with a physician who is specifically authorized as an Australian Panel Physician. 

1. Where to Find Approved Physicians in Canada

The Australian Government maintains a specific list of clinics in Canada that are equipped with the Australian version of the eMedical software. Major hubs include:

• Ontario: Multiple clinics in Toronto (e.g., Bathurst St, Sheppard Ave), Ottawa (Bank St), and Mississauga.
• British Columbia: Key centres in Vancouver (Hornby St, South Vancouver) and Surrey.
• Alberta: Approved clinics in Calgary and Edmonton.
• Quebec: Main panel physicians located in Montreal.

Pro Tip: Many doctors in Canada are “Dual Panel Physicians,” meaning they are authorized to perform medicals for both Canadian and Australian immigration. Ensure you tell them it is for an Australian visa when booking.

2. The 2026 Booking Process

To use a Canadian physician, follow these three steps to ensure your results link correctly to your application:

1. Generate your HAP ID: Log in to your ImmiAccount, click on “View Health Assessment,” and complete your medical history to get your Referral Letter. 
2. Verify Clinic ID: Before booking, check the Home Affairs Offshore List for Canada to confirm the clinic is still active.
3. Payment in CAD: You will pay the clinic directly in Canadian Dollars. In 2026, a standard exam + X-ray in Canada typically ranges from $350 to $500 CAD depending on the province and age of the applicant.

3. What to Bring to Your Appointment

Canadian clinics are strictly audited. You must provide:

• Original Passport: The physician must verify your identity physically.
• HAP ID Letter: The clinic cannot open your eMedical file without this number.
• Prescription List: If you are on regular medication (e.g., for blood pressure), bring the bottles or a list from your pharmacist.
