Where a passenger needs an immigration medical exam, or is put under medical surveillance or treatment, the carrier that brought them has to arrange it. Two situations let the carrier off: the passenger already held a visa when examined and the health issue did not come from the carrier's negligence, or the passenger was authorized to enter and is not crew. The bill is calculated using the applicable provincial health insurance rates.
(1)A commercial transporter must arrange for the medical examination of a foreign national who is required to submit to one under paragraph 16(2)(b) of the Act and for any medical examination, surveillance or treatment that is imposed under section 32.
(3)For the purposes of paragraph 148(1)(g) of the Act, any medical costs incurred with respect to the foreign national are prescribed costs and are to be calculated on the basis of the applicable provincial health insurance system.
