Applicants who intend to be in Canada for more than 6 months, and have resided in a designated country for more than 6 month within the year preceding their arrival in Canada, are required to undergo and pass a medical examination. The determining factor is not a citizenship, but whether the person resided in a designated country in the preceding 6 months.
