Candidates for Express Entry do not require undergoing a pre-entry medical exam:

Candidates for Express Entry do not require undergoing an upfront immigrant medical examination (IME) anymore prior to submitting their application to the IRCC for permanent residence as of October 1st of this year.

 

There is still an exam requirement; candidates can upload a blank document using the Express Entry profile builder's upload. IRCC will send all the instructions about the medical exam later.

 

It is not necessary to do an IME for second time if the applicant has already applied for one IRCC application earlier or if they are presently residing in Canada.
